Science Fiction & Fantasy book reviews
Well that was an absolute blast! My first Wyrd & Wonder is over and I read some great books and met some even better people 🙂 I did have a tentative TBR I aimed to get to, which included nine books. That was kind of ambitious to begin with to be honest, as nine books... Continue Reading →
This would have been a great introductory post if I'd had the foresight to actually plan any of my Wyrd & Wonder posts, but if we met through Wyrd & Wonder and have exchanged a few words, I'm hoping this is a fun little way for you folks to get to know me as a... Continue Reading →
AMBERLOUGH is a fantasy political spy thriller described as John Le CarrĂ© meets Cabaret. I was sold instantly. Put this book in my face, as I'm fond of saying.

Can you believe I didn't actually know what The Dresden Files books were even about until a few weeks ago? Like, I hear people talking about them all the time, but for whatever reason they never pierced my consciousness and I just didn't make the effort to find out. Imagine my sheer surprise and delight... Continue Reading →
Empire politics! Court drama! Intrigue! In a renaissance-era fantasy Venetian setting? All the ticks to so much stuff I love. I feel like I talk about this book too much without having a review up. In truth I've been planning on posting a review of THE TETHERED MAGE for a while, I just wanted to... Continue Reading →
