Liches Get Stitches

29 January 2023

This book was a lot of fun. Maud, the village witch, becomes a lich by complete accident… but that’s not going to stop her from living her life with her cat, Jenkins, and stopping to admire the bees in her […]

Wrath

20 January 2023

The best way for me to describe Wrath is “wholesome and horrible at the same time” – and by “horrible”, I don’t mean the story. I mean the horrible time the poor dungeon delvers have when they brave the depths

The Blacktongue Thief

15 January 2023

I often don’t get as far as buying books narrated by the author as they frequently let me down. I was a little unsure to start with Christopher Buehlman narrating his own work, The Blacktongue Thief, in a heavy Irish

Stringers

8 January 2023

I spotted Stringers, written by Chris Panatier, in a Reddit post, and it sounded like something I’d enjoy, and it was! It wasn’t the best book I’ve ever purchased, but it’s a good, solid storyline with a unique take on

Super Powereds: Year 1

7 January 2023

First off, this one was a compelling story, but the way it was told and narrated let it down. Between the constant “telling” with dialogue tags (i.e. [so and so] lied, [so and so] acquiesced) rather than “showing” through dialogue

All Systems Red

4 January 2023

I picked up All Systems Red, book 1 of the Murderbot Diaries, because I had a $10 credit, and that covered all but about 75 cents or thereabouts, so I didn’t really hesitate. While the story was good, I think

We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

2 January 2023

I’ll admit to being slightly hesitant before purchasing We Are Legion (We Are Bob), written by Dennis E Taylor, because I’d read a few mixed reviews, which had put me off wanting to start. When I had the chance to

He Who Fights with Monsters 5

30 December 2022

I’ve been purposefully putting off He Who Fights with Monsters 5 after the less-than-stellar outing from book four. As mentioned in my previous review, the pace and story had taken a sharp turn away from how the series had started.

Having a credit going spare and needing to spend it to earn a $10 credit from Audible, I took a chance on one I’d been a little hesitant on – Dungeon Mercantile, written by Wolfe Locke and Mike Caliban. As

Cinnamon Bun: Volume 4

26 December 2022

Cinnamon Bun Volume 4, written by RavensDagger and narrated by Reba Buhr, was a nice return to form after volume three. While that seemed slow, this one ticked along at a better pace. All the usual fun and shenanigans I’ve

The Maiden Voyage

19 December 2022

The Maiden Voyage, written by Marcus Alexander Hart and narrated by TJ Clark, was one of those books I’d never heard of until I saw someone mention it in my Twitter feed. Humour sci-fi in space? I’m there any day
