Splintered Suns by Michael Cobley I think this book sounds absolutely fantastic! It reminds me of the animated movie Treasure Planet, which I adored as a kid and I hope once I get into it that the book is just as adventurous. I've never read any of Cobley's other books, but this one seems to... Continue Reading →
Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri I didn't quite get around to reading this when I wanted to, but now that the Thanksgiving madness has settled I'll give this a go before the Christmas madness begins. I've been looking forward to checking out this Indian-inspired fantasy for a few months now and it sounds pretty... Continue Reading →
The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi Set in late 19th century Paris, featuring treasure hunters, magic, and ancient orders. What more could I ask for in a book? I've read a bit and I think it's pretty cool. Someone Like Me by M.R. Carey I've been busy and just yesterday got around... Continue Reading →
White Stag by Kara Barbieri I'm a little surprised at how much I'm enjoying this book from the start! It didn't begin at all how I expected it to and I hope it doesn't disappoint. I'm still a sucker for the faerie/goblin books! The Consuming Fire by John Scalzi Scalzi books have yet... Continue Reading →
The Land You Never Leave by Angus Watson I'm just a little (2 months) late getting around to this one, but that's cool - so many books, so little time. It's already just as humorous as the first and I expect a great deal of action to happen in the course of the next 500... Continue Reading →
The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner I had planned to read this not long after it arrived, but things happen so I'm just now getting around to it. So far it's interesting enough and the fact that each sister's chapter has its own writing style is pretty cool. I'm also finishing up... Continue Reading →
The Way of the Shield by Marshall Ryan Maresca Wow, so here we are with series #4 in the Maradaine universe. I'm ~40% through this one and it's good, but so far I just haven't clicked with the characters the same way as the previous books. Only time will tell! Kingdom of Ash... Continue Reading →
Vita Nostra by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko I've been looking forward to this book since I first came across the synopsis! Thus far it's weird but very good, so we'll see how the rest of the book pans out. This book may have the weirdest magic school yet, even stranger than Brakebills from Lev Grossman's...

Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds by Brandon Sanderson This is one of the two Brandon Sanderson series that I hadn't yet read, but since this series is now complete I decided to pick it up. I've already started this and am enjoying it, plus it's remarkable different from Sanderson's other books.
Charmcaster by Sebastien de Castell I was going to hold off on reading this for another week, but it'll make the perfect palate cleanser between two fairy tale stories. I've been getting through this series very quickly and expect this to be as fun as the previous two installments. The Sisters of the Winter... Continue Reading →
