    The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne | ARC Review

    February 26, 2021 /

    JESUS CHRIST ON A BURNING BIKE!! Never has there been a more impossible review to write. The Shadow of the Gods,  a book that has not only captured my imagination but stolen my heart with the range of differing but equally loveable characters.  Some you love to hate and some that carve a big gash across your chest with glistening sharp axe.  The storytelling is magical but brutally real, the atmospheric worldbuilding enraptures you, you can feel the raw and biting waves as you travel with these Norse folks on longships, you can feel the ground they trod upon and you can feel the pressure of being a part of…

    Dawn of Wonder by Jonathan Renshaw | Review

    January 21, 2021 /

     Well, hello that one came out of left field didn’t it?  The Dawn of Wonder surprised me with the sheer force of its narrative and sense of adventure.  A book that is part right of passage and part revenge.  This was picked up by a whim and I’m extremely glad that it didn’t disappoint because it a story of epic proportions and an epic length to match.  This is what I love about self-published fantasy; it can kick that story home and unleash hidden gems in amongst a populated genre.  This name wouldn’t be out of place besides, Sanderson, Tolkien, and Gwynne.  Dawn of Wonder ticked all the boxes.  From…

    Winter’s Fury by A.E. Rayne | Review

    November 27, 2020 /

    Winter’s Fury…yet another Norse inspired novel that has indeed broken me.  An ending that only has you downloading book two and screaming into the void!  An ending that will only have you yelling the authors name, but without A.E. Rayne’s dastardly writing skills, there would be no Winter’s Fury.  It’s taken me a few days to write this review because I have been on a book hungover, adrenaline intoxicated state.  This is the second Norse -inspired book that I’ve read in under a week and I seriously think I’ve found my fantasy sub-genre niche.  Let’s take a small walk and allow me to show you just why I ended up…

    The Wrack by John Bierce | Blog Tour

    August 5, 2020 /

    The Wrack gives us the topical insight of a plague that wreaks havoc throughout a fantasy world.  I’m a bit of a freak in a way that I have enjoyed reading about plagues/pandemics whilst living through one.  The format that it was told in was refreshing and thought provoking.  Multiple POV’s that give us a snapshot of lives, some are cut short and some last several chapters.  The plague pays no attention to stature, race or social class.  It takes no prisoners, but it will cause insurmountable amount of pain and will take your last breath if your guard is down.  The Wrack gave me something that I didn’t realise…

    Blog Tour| A King’s Bargain (Legend of Tal) By J.D.L. Rosell

    June 10, 2020 /

    I’m honoured to be apart of the blog tour for A King’s Bargain organised by the lovely ladies at Storytellers on tour. They are passionate about Indie Fantasy and it shows in their hard work at putting these amazing tours together. A King’s Bargain immediately gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling that I have so far only been awarded from very few Epic Fantasy stories.  The world building was deep and complex and the introduction to the world was like falling through a portal and being immersed in the magical world first-hand.  It is a fantastical piece of fiction that would be a perfect introduction to the immersive land…
