The Justice in Revenge by Ryan Van LoanThis may honestly be the series that comes closest to filling the Locke Lamora shaped hole in my heart. Swashbuckling, cunning, and now politics in a city that sounds like Venice?? I have hopes this will be at least as good as the first book, though the few... Continue Reading →
What We Devour by Linsey MillerI'm always on the lookout for the next fantastic YA SFF book and this one sounded far too cool to resist. A girl containing the power of two banished gods makes a deal with the crown prince to save her father. Also, there might be some world saving involved. The... Continue Reading →
The Empire's Ruin by Brian StaveleyNew book, more Kettral, and... a monk turned con-artist!? I am super excited to start reading this - I'm hopeful that it will be as good (if not better!) than the original trilogy. The Wonder Engine by T. KingfisherI haven't been great at actually finishing the books I've put on... Continue Reading →
The Maleficent Seven by Cameron JohnstonI couldn't wait any longer to read this!! I've been so excited to get my hands on a copy that I decided to forgo my upcoming July releases and check this out while the enthusiasm is fresh. It sounds like an excellent tale of bad guys saving the world. An... Continue Reading →
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 →

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 →
The Library of the Dead by T.L. HuchuI am LOVING this book so far! I picked it up over the weekend and have already devoured a few hundred pages. The setting is interesting - it seems a little post-apocalyptic almost? Something big clearly happened in the past but it's only been referred to vaguely so... Continue Reading →
The Coward by Stephen AryanI love the premise for this AND it's my first Stephen Aryan novel! Basically, what if the guy lauded as a hero just got lucky and beat the bad guy... and now there's a new bad guy that everyone wants him to dispose of. I can't wait to check it out... Continue Reading →
Sirgrus Blackmane Demihuman Gumshoe and the Dark-Elf by William Schlichter A Dwarven detective sets out to investigate the murder of his agency partner and gets involved in some Shady Stuff. This is a relatively short yet intriguing book that I can't wait to start this week. I'm all about those fantasy mystery hybrids!
The Broken God by Gareth HanrahanYay! The finished copy is finally in my hands! I've been getting a little sick of reading everything on my phone (even if it is convenient) and it's great to have a few hardcopies of books to pick up. This is one of my most anticipated sequels of 2021 (feel... Continue Reading →
