Heretical Fishing 4

16 September 2025

Heretical Fishing 4 kicks off with a recap that’s as rambling as it is useful. This, as it turns out, sets the tone for the whole book. Almost 23 hours long, and I spent the first 18 or more chapters

This Princess Kills Monsters

A Wonderful Day for a Quest

8 August 2025

This one was a quick, punchy listen, and it wears its stage play origins proudly. The pacing is snappy, the narrator keeps breaking the fourth wall with asides and commentary, and there’s even a cheeky little intermission partway through. Structurally,

A Market in the Maelstrom

4 July 2025

A Market in the Maelstrom by Harmon Cooper wraps up The Cozy Abyss trilogy… sort of, anyway. According to the blurb, it’s the final book in the series, but if that’s the case, the ending makes little sense. A new

The Witch Who Trades with Death

1 July 2025

The Witch Who Trades with Death by C.M. Alongi is a dark fantasy that took a little while to grab me, and even once it did, it never quite held on as tightly as I’d hoped. That’s not to say

Wriggly Little Hands

9 June 2025

Wriggly Little Hands by Alex Knight is a goblin-fuelled fantasy romp full of silliness, chaos, and Soundbooth Theater’s usual high-energy production. It’s the kind of audiobook that throws jokes, voices, and absurdities at you with such speed you barely have

Thistlefoot

31 May 2025

Thistlefoot by GennaRose Nethercott is a dark, magical road trip soaked in Eastern European folklore, memory, and generational trauma. It opens with a tumbleweed. A very American symbol, but apparently an invasive Russian thistle. Who knew? Not me, apparently! Always

Dead Tired III

21 May 2025

Dead Tired III picks up right where the previous books left off as Harold, the ancient and overpowered lich, continues his journey with Alex, the Limpet, the mantis sisters, and a penchant for puns that are as groan-worthy as they
