Vigor Mortis: Volume 1

13 February 2022

Vigor Mortis (volume 1), written by Natalie Maher (Thundamoo), is aptly described as “light-hearted existential terror” by the bit at the end of the book by the publisher, and I couldn’t sum it up better. What you get is a […]

1 February 2022

Boxxy T. Morningwood, the simple mimic that just wants shiny things, tasty things, and to kill every living on the planet, outdoes itself in this one. There’s a lot to like about this series, yet at the same time, there

15 January 2022

He Who Fights with Monsters 3, written by Travis Deverell, is a great addition to the HWFWM series, with boatloads of monster-fighting and loads of story arc payoff. But here’s where the “but” comes in. The characters have ranked up

Fizzlesprocket

6 January 2022

Not for the easily offended, but Fizzlesprocket (Everybody Loves Large Chests book 2) by Neven Iliev certainly is a cracking tale of a murder hobo mimic and their psychopathic demonic familiars. Seriously, there is a lot of horrifically awful stuff

The Mayor of Noobtown

4 January 2022

I found The Mayor of Noobtown by Ryan Rimmel started rather slowly but built up the pace as it went along. Well, if you can ignore the frequent character sheet readouts, which, quite honestly, had me skipping ahead by about

A Psalm for the Wild-Built

28 December 2021

The world built by Becky Chambers in A Psalm for the Wild-Built is one I’d visit in a heartbeat. This is probably best described as a Cozy Sci-Fi, where not a lot happens except lots of conversation that made me

Hard Luck Hank: Robot Farts

19 November 2021

This far into the Hard Luck Hank series, it’s hard to review without feeling like I’m repeating myself. As always, time has moved on, and Belvaille has changed once again. The nobles are (mostly) gone, and the remaining inhabitants are

Continuing my journey of the Hard Luck Hank series in audiobook, next up was Stank Delicious. Each book in the series reinvents the world of Hank just a little. In this case, everything has moved on a few years since
