    The Girl and the Mountain by Mark Lawrence | Book Review

    April 19, 2021 /

    The Girl and the Mountain yet another stonking story from Mark Lawrence.  Once again, the author had that perfect formula for breaking me.  It’s a straight run on from The Girl and the Stars, it didn’t skip a beat, not for one second and I settled into meeting old friends again.  An ending that had me needing more, an ending that proved just how addictive Lawrence’s writing is.  His writing skills are so dastardly and intoxicating that its impossible not to race to the end.  I’ve had to wait a few days to write this review because I have been living in a hungover, adrenaline intoxicated state.  Let’s take a…

    Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie | Book Review

    March 24, 2021 /

    “we should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged.” Before they Hanged is another masterpiece in storytelling and exemplary characterization.  The first half the book felt like a continuation of the Blade Itself – a set up story…a massive prologue, if you like.  Again, Abercrombie sets up the story with the consummate skill of masterful bard.  It’s a story of epic proportions, vivid worldbuilding and terrible treachery.  You are immediately catapulted into the world once more, carrying on from where The Blade Itself left off.  Not a beat dropped, a breath wasted, or a thought discarded.  The Blade Itself really was a set up book, introducing us to…

    The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie | Review

    March 9, 2021 /

    Well, isn’t The Blade Itself as deadly as a hushed-up autopsy?  Grimdark?  I swallowed it up and asked for another portion just like little Oliver begging for more.  With its deadly plot and guillotine sharp character arcs, this is going to be a novel that I will take comfort in rereading time and time again.  It’s a story that feels like a homecoming.  Its cozy and deadly in equal measure (well as cozy as a dagger threatening to spill every drop of blood.)   imagine wandering in the mountains and finally making your way home – a fire inviting you in, you can’t help but be enveloped by it…this is The…

    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…

    Diary Entry Of Gandalf The Grey. The Grey Vs. The Balrog.

    February 22, 2020 /

    Gandalf The Grey is dead. I, of course, knew that it would end this way.  However, the fellowship needed to see the positivity, that indominable sense that good will prevail, but good doesn’t always win the battle.  Good doesn’t always ride off into the sunset on a dashing, brilliant white stallion.  Everything that is bad about this godforsaken earth injects its poison and spreads its plague as far as the eye can see.  The shadows and the light.  Nothing is safe from the rottenness that evil has permeated.  The one ring to rule them all is no different.   Power corrupts, and the ring maintains it.  The fellowship is in chaos. …

    Magician by Raymond. E. Feist

    August 6, 2019 /

    WOW…Completely blown away by this fantasy classic.  Magician was truly magical, and it has filled the whole that has been left behind by Game of Thrones.  For the gamer geeks out there, it totally has a Skyrim epicness to its storytelling.  Do you want Trolls, Elves and magical beings?  Strap in because you’re in for a bumpy ride.  I am recently new to the Fantasy Genre after having my husband introduce me to Game of Thrones, but it is fast becoming my favourite genre.  Magician was first published in the 80’s but it is certainly standing the test of time.  Magician opens in Crydee, an outpost in the Kingdom of…
