    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…

    We Lie With Death by Devin Madson | Review

    January 24, 2021 /

    You know what they say after a storm?  It clears the air, but there was no calm after the storm in We Lie with Death.  The world building is once again rich and brutal and I was once again delighted to see characters taking their own paths, accepting the hand that fate had dealt them and becoming all the stronger for it.  I only very recently finished reading We Ride the Storm and the first thing I did was request the next book in the series on netgalley, thankfully the book gods granted my request and here I am basking in the glory of the empire of Kisia.  I was…

    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…

    We Ride The Storm by Devin Madson | Book Review.

    December 17, 2020 /

    Jesus Christ on a bike!  We Ride the Storm was a novel that was pure adrenaline.  Storm Noun a tumultuous reaction; an uproar or controversy. There is no disillusion hidden behind the pretext of name.  This book is a storm, and it aims to rile you up, as quickly as possible.  This story aims to shake up the fantasy genre and it does that and more.  Its an underrated gem that gleams, and the reader can’t help but fall deep for the magnificent prose and authentic worldbuilding.  The author doesn’t beat around the bush and she is happy to cut your throat in the first chapter and not even be…

    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…

    Northern Wrath by Thilde Kold Holdt | Review

    November 22, 2020 /

    Northern Wrath was a book from the gods themselves.  Revenge is deadly, the swish of a blade, a whispered promise.  This review is going to be exceedingly hard to write, and I hope I can deliver it the justice it deserves.  Fantasy should catapult you into another dimension and Northern Wrath achieved that within just a few pages.  Thilde Kold Holdt had me all in.  The prologue hit like a steam train…I could smell smoke and danger and I was looking over my shoulder at the threatening shadow that promised to become known.  My senses was a frenetic buzz of energy and I was totally here for it. Northern Wrath…
