Science Fiction & Fantasy book reviews
Good afternoon bookwyrms, hope you're all doing well. It's been a canny while since I've done one of these reading updates! Usually I write them up often enough to catch every book I read so I'm sad that little run has come to an end, but I've read too many in the intervening period to... Continue Reading →
Happy Easter weekend bookwyrms. I don't do these monthly review posts very often, mostly cos I'm lazy and don't want to, but also cos I usually just think of them as 'wrap ups' of what I've already posted, and I find writing those kinds of posts tedious even if I do like reading other people's....

Why oh why did I have to set myself Things To Do when it comes to reading? That review-a-day thing I'm planning for Wyrd & Wonder? Yeah I'm gonna have to get my read on if I'm to get up to speed with that. Of course this was always predictable for a committed mood reader... Continue Reading →
And so we come to it, the final book of Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy. So I'm trying to start this review off with a quick summary of where all the major characters are at the beginning of book three and what they're setting out to do, but it's representative of my feelings about this...

I feel like I've barely written any book reviews on the blog for ages. Feels like a bit of a struggle to engage that part of my brain lately, but I have still been reading lots, so you still get the pleasure of lots of reading updates instead 😀 Recently Finished: PRIEST OF BONES by...

Hello bookwyrms, nice to see you all again and nice of you to check in and have a look see what I'm reading at the mo. You might notice a bit of a theme in the books featured today. They're all a bit grim and a bit dark. Grimdark if you will. That's because I've... Continue Reading →
THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS is like nothing I've ever read before. Described as a tale of revenge, cultural identity and the cost of breaking from tradition, it follows four Native American men who are tracked and hunted by a malevolent entity after a disturbing event from their youth puts them in a desperate struggle for...

Ah, feels good returning to my poorly-written guilty pleasures haha. I've had complicated feelings about The Witcher books so far. They're not very good and I wouldn't for a second recommend anyone actually read them, but I sort of enjoy them regardless. I dunno, they just have a kind of raggedy charm, like an old...

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 →
Welcome to Wednesday bookwyrms. Usually I do these weekly updates on a Wednesday (though I have on occasion been known to be less than consistent) but today is a day late simply cos it was so hot yesterday I felt like I was melting unless I was sat in my garden with a big ol'... Continue Reading →
