Books for Review:

Soulbinder by Sebastien de Castell

Installment #4 already!? This series has absolutely been zooming by! Many thanks to Orbit for the finished copy.

Holy Sister by Mark Lawrence

One of my (and many others’) most anticipated releases of 2019 showed up rather unexpectedly. I can’t complain – many thanks to Ace for the ARC!

The Unbound Empire by Melissa Caruso

Guys, not only am I ultra excited to read this but MY REVIEW OF DEFIANT HEIR WAS ALSO QUOTED INSIDE!!! I have peaked as a blogger. Thanks to Orbit for the surprise ARC!

A Parliament of Bodies by Marshall Ryan Maresca

I’m so looking forward to another Maradaine Constabulary story and I see it features Dayne Heldrin from the recently released The Way of the Shield. Can’t wait to dig into this before its March release. Many thanks to DAW for the ARC.

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

HarperVoyager sent the loveliest surprise package containing this and an ARC of the next book in the series.

The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty

I LOVED the first book in this series which I read several months ago and failed to review (woops). I imagine the sequel will be equally engaging/emotionally traumatizing. Thanks to Harper Voyager for the ARC.

The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden

This is series finale #3 in my latest haul and another that I’m incredibly excited to read. Vasya’s story has been such an interesting journey. Thanks to Del Rey and Netgalley for an eARC.

Pan’s Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke

I watched this movie sooo long ago and don’t remember much about it but I was rather intrigued when I came across this book. A creepy fairytale that comes along with illustrations was a definite yes. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the  eARC.

My Purchases:

New Moon by Ian McDonald

This was the Tor.com ebook of the month and it’s been touted as Game of Thrones meets sci-fi, so I was sold. Can’t wait to check it out when my review list gets low!

Of Blood and Bone by Nora Roberts

I grabbed an audio copy of this on release day since I COULD NOT WAIT!!! I loved the first book and was so excited to start on this one. This is shaping up to be a fantastic series.

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

I decided to do a read through of this series before A Little Hatred is released in Fall 2019. I read this 6 or 7 years ago and remember almost nothing about it, though my opinion is much higher than it was the first time around!
