Shards of the Earth by Adrian TchaikovskyI've been looking forward to getting a copy of this for months! Now that I've got my copy in hand, I can start reading (yay for physical books!). It has great early reviews and it's Adrian Tchaikovsky, so I really don't think this could go wrong. While my enthusiasm... Continue Reading →
The Forever King by Ben GalleyI am SO glad I picked this up on a whim. It's an absolutely fantastic epic fantasy and the narration is on point.

The Godstone by Violette MalanSince August (and thus the release date of this) is rapidly approaching, I figured I'd better pick this up! It's been tickling my interest for months now, with mysterious magical practitioners and dangerous artifacts that could destroy the world. I like the sound of this and hope it's as good as...

I won't attempt my own synopsis here - I think the original will serve well enough - but I am very, very excited to have something awesome to read while I'm on vacation this week!

Seven Deaths of An Empire by G.R. MatthewsI've only just begun reading this and have little idea of what to expect. The emperor is dead and General Bordan must help to secure the heir's place upon the throne while an apprentice mage has his own POV. It seems Roman inspired and I think it will... Continue Reading →
The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher BuehlmanI skipped over requesting an ARC for this book because I was quite overwhelmed with all the other books I had at the time. Fortunately, I can always make time for audiobooks! I don't know too much about this aside from it having excellent ratings, so I'm gonna discover for... Continue Reading →
