Book Review: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

I first read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle when I was in middle school. This is a time when I started exploring the library on my own and was finding myself ending up in the SFF section often. I read A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels alongside works like The Chronicles of Narnia … Continue reading Book Review: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

Book Review: Last Dragon Standing by Rachel Aaron

Last Dragon Standing is the final book in Rachel Aaron's Heartstrikers series. A sort of epic urban fantasy series about the dragons of the Heartstrikers clan set in a near future centered around Detroit, Michigan. This series was one of my favorite things I read last year, and I listened to all four audiobooks one … Continue reading Book Review: Last Dragon Standing by Rachel Aaron

Book Review: Windwitch by Susan Dennard

I have been debating with myself about whether or not to do a review of this book because, while I didn't dislike it, I found it to be only mildly interesting and largely forgettable. However, there were things that I did enjoy and so I ultimately decided that I'd take a few minutes to write … Continue reading Book Review: Windwitch by Susan Dennard

Book Review: The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee is a mostly YA historical romance with a tiny fantastical element that becomes a big part of the later plot, but I'm going to review it here anyway because I absolutely loved this book (and here at Way Too Fantasy there is no discrimination about … Continue reading Book Review: The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

Book Review: Buried Heart by Kate Elliott

Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball

So, this one is a little unusual for me to review in that it is a non-fiction book. It also happens to be written by a friend of mine, so I'll get that out of the way right up front. I picked this one up to read for my fantasy related non-fiction square for the … Continue reading Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball

Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer

I'm struggling with a way to begin this review that won't sound like I'm incoherently babbling about how much I loved reading this because, for me, it's just that great a book. So, I'll start in the usual way, with a short summary of the book. The Oddling Prince takes place in the kingdom of … Continue reading Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer

The Infinity of Space and Other Humorous Concepts

Hi! Today, in my review, I'm going to discuss three books. All are independently published, and I will be singing the praises of this amazing publishing option, as well as warning people away from the dragons and goblins that lurk along the way. For like any good fantasy quest, the journey to the Lost Tower … Continue reading The Infinity of Space and Other Humorous Concepts

Book Review: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown

I am a big fan of the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. In fact, the audiobooks of Red Rising, narrated so fantastically by Tim Gerard Reynolds, are what sparked my love of audiobooks. It wasn't only the narration, which is really top tier, but also the energy of the story itself that made me … Continue reading Book Review: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown
