I absolutely fell in love with Rachel Gillig after reading her series The Shepard King. It had everything a new fantasy/fairytale/romance type of story should have. The Knight and the Moth, the first book in the new series The Stonewater Kingdom has that same magic to it. A story with a damsel in distress, a knight […]
I believe this is the last book in the Hart and Mercy  series and it sticks the landing solidly. The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam begins about ten years after the events of the prior books. Duckers finally found a partner who will stick with him in Rosie, well at least most of the time when […]
I remember when I was in my twenties, I thought fifty was old and I imagined grey hair and Wilford Brimley as the posterchild of what that looked like. Now that I’m much closer to fifty all of those notions seem silly. I’m close to being in the best shape of my life, in a […]
I have seen Richard Swan‘s name a lot lately, being praised for a different trilogy and since I am a huge fan of fantasy in almost all of its forms I was excited to pick up Grave Empire which is grimdark or fantasy/horror almost. This is the first book in The Great Silence Trilogy, set […]
The Fury of the Gods is the final book of the Bloodsworn Saga, a tale set in a world of Animal gods, The Tainted (humans with the power of certain gods in their blood), Witches and regular Viking like people.  This is a action packed ride with a lot of fighting that will get us to […]
A Tide of Black Steel is the first book in the new Age of Wrath series by Anthony Ryan. Based in Norse mythology with Vikings type seafaring peoples, I enjoyed the start and set up of what is going to be an epic journey. A Tide of Black Steel is set in the same world […]
I really enjoyed You’ve Got Mail when it came out and the idea, that if you talked to someone you knew and didn’t like in person on paper or in emails would you feel differently. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy was a play on this concept in a fantasy world where spirits who haven’t […]
The Hunger of the Gods is the second book in the new Bloodsworn Saga trilogy by John Gwynne. For epic fantasy and long running series, I really appreciate it when there is both a character list and a recap of what happened in the first book for the readers to have their memory jogged without […]
Jade Legacy is the gripping and sometimes heart stopping conclusion to The Green Bone Saga. It is a tale told over 20 years and shows how once enemies can become allies and one time alliances might turn into enemies. The characters in this Asian gangster mafia-esk story have become a living breathing creations to me and […]
Shadow of the Gods is the first book in the new Bloodsworn Saga trilogy by John Gwynne.  It loosely follows some Norse Mythology as three different PoVs unfurl the story. They are caught up in something big on the horizon, something that will change the world they live in. They just don’t know how tangled […]
