Disclaimer: Spoilers for Promise of Blood's ending and minor spoilers for The Crimson Campaign. Read the review for Promise of Blood here. I read Promise of Blood within the span of three-four days. The Crimson Campaign, in contrast, I read over six adrenaline-fueled hours. For three-quarters of Campaign, my heart was in my throat, my... Continue Reading →
This book was provided by Rebekah Teller in exchange for a review! I can't recall whether it was supposed to be an honest review or a dishonest one, so I'll trust my fingers to guide me towards the more preferable type. Song took me a while to get through. On one hand, Song has an... Continue Reading →
(Disclaimer: Some minor spoilers ahead.) Brian's Style Promise of Blood isn't the first novel I've read by Brian McClellan. That honour goes to Sins of Empire, which holds a special place in my heart as both the first flintlock fantasy I've read, as well as the first title I purchased because of a recommendation read...

Disclaimer: This book has been kindly provided by Darrel Drake for free, in exchange for a review. No one said anything about being honest but I wasn't told to lie either, so it evens out somewhere along the line, I reckon. A Star-Reckoner's Lot has been an interesting ride, one that left me some strong impressions.... Continue Reading →
I've had some trouble putting my thoughts in order where Senlin Ascends, the first book in Josiah Bancroft's Books of Babel series of four, is concerned. This book is an excellent read, the kind whose characters live with you well after you've put it down for good. Perhaps Senlin Ascends is one of those rare... Continue Reading →
Hello and welcome back to my Dungeon Master's Diary, where I recollect the long and winded tale of my Dungeons&Dragons party, the Assholes. Some time has passed since I last posted about these venerable adventurers. Let's get straight to it! The problem with note-keeping is...sometimes you lose the notes. Others, you're too lazy to write... Continue Reading →

If lost and found, please return to: The City (capital of The Empire), 0000, Imperial Palace, Seat of the Empire, Throne Room. Any of them is alright, really. Upon return, you shall be rewarded, and promptly murdered for having... Continue Reading →
Once upon a time, I read Half a King by Joe Abercrombie and was quite fond of it. Half a King was a wonderful entry into the unique brand of subversive storytelling Abercrombie is famed for. It was a thrill to go through but now that I've read four of the six First Law books... Continue Reading →
Ah, 80's era fantasy. An era much beloved by many and fairly disliked by some. To me, it's a by-gone age with some great books that hold up really well, and some that...well, don't. Either way, I've been going out of my way to explore this decade's worth of fantasy trends, and--surprise, surprise-- sword'n'sorcery is... Continue Reading →
Journal Entry The First Let it be writ: Today, an oaf of a man, a woodcutter through and through, passed by my cabin. "Where go you, axeman?" I said. "A good day to you, villain!" he said, scratching his beard. "I am on my way to cut a little girl and her granny out of... Continue Reading →
