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
Book Review: The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath
I was immediately interested in this book because it's a fantasy of manners which is one of my favorite sub-genres of fantasy. I enjoy stories about folks navigating society, especially if they also point out that society's constraints and issues there may be within it. I was not disappointed as The Sisters Mederos does a … Continue reading Book Review: The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath
Book Review: Poisoned Blade by Kate Elliott
Poisoned Blade is the second book in Kate Elliott's YA trilogy, Court of Fives. This trilogy follows Jessamy, a young girl born in a land called Efea which was conquered and consequently colonized by the Saroese from across the sea many generations before.

Book Review: Ink, Iron, and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare
Full disclosure: I ended up with an ARC copy of this in my book pile back in September while attending the Baltimore Book Festival. Since the book is being released later this month I thought it was a good time to dive in. Ink, Iron, and Glass takes place in an alternate version of the … Continue reading Book Review: Ink, Iron, and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare

Book Review: Cast in Deception by Michelle Sagara
The Chronicles of Elantra has been a favorite series of mine for years, and this latest edition to the series, the thirteenth, was a fun ride. For anyone new to these books, the series focuses on the life of Kaylin Neya--a member of the Hawks, a sort of a police force for the city of … Continue reading Book Review: Cast in Deception by Michelle Sagara
Book Review: Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier
I listened to these books on audio late last year and fell in love with the characters so much that I marathoned all three of these pretty much back to back. I'd read one of Juliet Marillier's books before, but that was a long time ago. I'm regretting not reading more of her work and … Continue reading Book Review: Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier
Favorite Reads of 2017
I'm perpetually behind on things, constantly catching up on reading, writing, and a myriad of other things and this should come to no surprise to anyone who knows me well, but writing this post has been on my list of things to do for several weeks now. Anyway. Most of these books were not published … Continue reading Favorite Reads of 2017
Book Review: Under the Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng
I first heard about this book on twitter, where another author was tweeting very passionately about it and I thought 'dang, I have to pick this up'. I checked it out and the premise intrigued me--Victorian missionaries go into the lands of the fae to spread the good word. But it's not really about that. … Continue reading Book Review: Under the Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng
