Science Fiction & Fantasy book reviews
Ok so a while ago I mentioned I was embarking on a project to read Stephen King's entire back catalogue in order. I'm making very slow progress to be honest, other shiny books keep capturing my attention and keeping me from moving forward. I have read his first few though, and instead of writing full...

Recently Finished: SOURDOUGH by Robin SloanThis was such a delightful book. It's basically just the story of a computer programmer who finds happiness in baking bread when her favourite soup and sandwich takeout closes and the owners gift her their (possibly sentient?) sourdough starter. It was recommended to me by eriophora (@BasiliskBooks) on Twitter when... Continue Reading →

Soooo I'm just gonna do them whenever... Continue Reading →
I'm just gonna say it folks: this book was a big disappointment for me. And that was a big surprise because I enjoyed The Blade Itself a lot. BEFORE THEY ARE HANGED picks up just after the events of the first book, with Sand dan Glokta taking up his position of Superior in the soon-to-be-besieged... Continue Reading →
