    A Time of Blood by John Gwynne | Review

    October 18, 2020 /

    Please allow me a moment to breathe before getting into the guts of my A Time for Blood review.  I absolutely fell in love with A Time for Dread but book two blew my mind.  I have the utmost respect for John Gwynne’s writing style and his prowess of delivering a story with such raw intensity.  It’s a completely different type of magic.  I’ve got so many ARC copies I need to read at the moment but I just couldn’t deny what the heart wants – and it wanted to carry on with this series just like the body needs oxygen to breathe!  Better a hard truth than a kind…

    A Time Of Dread by John Gwynne | Review

    September 27, 2020 /

    Dear John, As a book blogger who thought that she had already read the best in fantasy, is outrageously proved wrong and now isn’t really sure how I am going to write this review.   I want to do A Time Of Dread justice, I want my blog readers to pick this one up and above all I want them to feel the emotions that you wrought upon me.  The feelings that I got when I opened the book until the point when I closed the end cover and took a deep breath, as I realised that I hadn’t just read a book but had consumed art. The Fantasy genre Is…

    Sorcery Of A Queen by Brian Naslund | Review

    August 14, 2020 /

    Thank you to Tor UK, Brian Naslund, Jamie-Lee Nardone and Stephen Haskins for a review copy of Sorcery Of A Queen. “You of all people should know how rumours go.  There’s a kernel of truth that gets inflated each time it passes from one drunken mouth to the next, until you have an enormous dragonslayer with a foot-long cock pissing down the neck-stumps of decapitated dragons.”  It has been such a pleasure to be back in the wonderful world of Terra once again.  The magic, the dragons, the relationships and the tongue-in-cheek humour.  Brian Naslund has this inert skill to just know the formula for have the brain completely enraptured…

    Blood of an Exile by Brian Naslund | Review

    August 8, 2020 /

    Great holy Zeus! Blood Of An Exile packs a powerful punch, and this debut punch is a knockout!  This book has the capability of just burrowing under your skin and taking root there.  The plot is thick, enriching and complex.  This story is completely character driven and it knows exactly how you tick!  We have a glorious magic system that enriches the narrative, but it isn’t the main focus, which I have found to be a refreshing change.  Blood Of An Exile has fired up my synapses and it will stay with me for the long-term – in all its raw complexity. Dragons are my favourite magical creatures in fantasy,…

    The End Of Magic by Mark Stay |Blog Tour

    July 5, 2020 /

    The End Of Magic…an ambiguous title that could suggest many things.  One thing that it does deliver on is the benchmark that epic fantasy should aspire to reach.  In very grim times it brought an element of light-hearted hilarity that was very much needed.  The magical system is very cleverly constructed in which that it is integrated seamlessly into the bones of the story.  It is believable and is manifested as an everyday occurrence.  I very much liked that aspect of the story.  Stay is a genius in that he took the usual formula for fantasy novels and turned it upside down.  Rules be damned! I instantly knew the reader…

    Review| Legacy Of Ash (Legacy Trilogy #1) by Matthew Ward

    May 26, 2020 /

    Massive thanks to Orbit books for my review copy of Legacy of Ash.  I’m a complete junkie for all things dark fantasy and grimdark and this lit a fire within my core in which every page I raced through kept stoking.  The first book in the series, aptly named Legacy.  This is a serious Tome sitting at 800 pages.  It felt like I had the fantasy bible in my hands, every page sucked me in and enraptured my imagination.  An extremely imaginative and ambitious debut with a whole new magic system, ancient kingdoms locking swords and world building so intricate and memorable that its imprint left a tattoo on the…
