    To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini |Review

    December 23, 2020 / 11 Comments

    To Sleep in a Sea of Stars more accurately to sleep through the damn book.  This was nothing like I had been expecting.  It didn’t hold my attention and very much felt like a plot that is seen through -out the genre but without any aspect of originality.  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but this nearly drove me to tears.  The characterisation suffered for the plot and it was hugely disappointing.  Although there is action within the first few chapters; it just lacked any punch or emotion, even at this point I wasn’t sure if I should plough forward.  To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is very…

    The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky | Review

    October 27, 2020 / 2 Comments

    The Doors of Eden is just one of those books that will blow your mind to freaking shreds!  If I had one thought at the end of reading this tome, that was, that my teeny tiny brain just pales into comparison with some of the greatest minds in our world.  I was in awe; I was in heaven but most of all that science fiction itch was scratched to the bone!  If you haven’t read any of Adrian Tchaikovsky, have you been sitting underneath a freaking rock?  He has written an immense number of books but ashamedly I haven’t read any of the others, rectifying that immediately.      Let it…

    Sorcery Of A Queen by Brian Naslund | Review

    August 14, 2020 / No Comments

    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 / No Comments

    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,…

    Review: The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood

    March 26, 2020 / No Comments

    The Unspoken Name Didn’t they teach you how to steal a ship at wizarding school?  A.K. Larkwood has created an ethereal vision of female badassery that I had completely laced up my feminist ass kicking boots by the end of chapter one.  The formula that the author concocted in order to produce the masterpiece that my eyes and brain conversely lapped up was unique and special.  She knew the compounds that go into writing a fantasy – they work, but the author decided to tear that rule book up and rewrite them completely!  She drew me in with her hypnotic narrative and the familiar territory that I have become used…

    Review: Docile by K.M. Szpara

    March 16, 2020 / No Comments

    Wow, if Docile has afforded me one thing – its that I am eternally grateful for how my life is (even with the current health crisis.)  Docile has nailed it home just how easily the world and humanity can sink into the depths of depravity and self-indulgent when capitalism rules with an iron fist.  It is a stark reminder of just what I don’t want life to be like.  If you’ve ever wondered what life would be like if you were able to do as you wished, then read Docile – it’s a shocking portrayal of the rich getting richer and the poor becoming more objectified and more desperate.  The…
