Recently I was approached by W.C. Bauers, and he graciously offered me free copies of his debut book Unbreakable, and his upcoming book, Indomitable for review. Upon seeing their kick-ass covers, and reading their intriguing blurbs about a marine trying to survive in a hostile political situation, I said I would be happy to…

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…
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…

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…

I have been meaning to check out Margaret Atwood for a long time, and finally got the chance this week with my book club book, Oryx and Crake. I had high expectations going in based on all the good things I have heard about Atwood over the years, yet the book I found was not…

Sorry for just the one post this week, I have been out playing Pokemon Go. However, I assume none of you noticed there was only one post as you were also too busy out playing Pokemon go. Anyway here is part 2 of the Drenai read along, if you missed part one you can find…
Today I am doing a micro review, but know that I am doing it for your own good. Many of you have probably heard of Uprooted, by Naomi Novik, as it made a ridiculous number of “top book lists” last year; usually at the #1 spot. There is a good reason for this, it is…
I am getting into Science Fiction, and making a larger effort to insert it into my reading list, as I feel I have been neglecting the genre recently. As such, I was given a review copy of Central Station, by Lavie Tidhar, by the wonderful publishers over at Netgalley in exchange for an unbiased review.…

I know it's terrible, but I like puns in my titles. Anthony Ryan caught a lot of flack for Queen of Fire, his final book of The Raven’s Shadow. In the days since I started and finished his new book, The Waking Fire, I have had an alarming number of people come up to me…
