Hey folks, unfortunately this will be the first week since I started this that I do not have a post. We are all on vacation in Seattle at PAX, and did not get organized enough to queue up some posts. Sorry for the short hiatus, but we will be back next week with some great…

Ninth City Burning – Kids Don’t Like Being Called Kids
As this blog has gotten more successful (which is all thanks to you readers and I love you), I’ve gotten an increasing number of requests to review books. I get about 3-4 a week these days, and I make an effort to accommodate every request I get. As a result, I find myself more and…

Guest Post: The Hatching – Spidery Horror that’s not quite spooky enough
I am letting Will slowly build his own spooky corner on the blog, as I am told horror books are pretty good but I am a huge pansy. Enjoy as he sets up a few cobwebs: Let’s get this out of the way right at the start. If you couldn’t guess by the cover art…

Three Parts Dead – A Gift I Didn’t Know I Needed
You can probably guess I enjoyed this book a lot from the title. One of my favorite things when reading is to stumble onto a book that gives me a new experience. It isn’t required for a book to be great, but it can rapidly catapult a book to the top of my reading list.…

The Guns Of Empire – Learning To Lose
The Guns of Empire, by Django Wexler, was one of my most anticipated books of 2016. The predecessor, The Price of Valour, was my #3 book from 2015 and pushed The Shadow Campaigns to one of my all time favorite series. With that in mind, Empire had big shoes to fill and I was concerned…
Of Sand And Malice Made – A Captivating Jaunt Into The Desert
A while back I was given the opportunity to read the great Twelve Kings in Sharakhai, by the talented Bradley P. Beaulieu (whose name I have yet to spell correctly the first time I have written it). The book had a slow start, but turned out to be one of the best epic fantasy newcomers…

The Aeronaut’s Windlass – Cautiously Optimistic
I am a Butcher fan. However, even though I am a fan, I am often terrified of how huge his following is and how rabid some of his readers are when it comes to defending him. I know multiple people who basically exclusively read Dresden and pretty much nothing else. So I tend to take…
