Prophecies always find a way of coming to pass, and the inevitable battle between Wizardry and Sourcery finally happens, heralding the apocalypse.

The main character is as fucked up as you’d ever expect your most hated book antagonist to be. Only this time, he’s not an antagonist. He’s the main character.

Hi, So monster romance is all the rage right now in the romance world, and this unicorn had to get in on some action. I mean, who cares about regular human peens….we need some monster vitamin D ...

The Black God’s Drums by P. Djèlí Clark

March 18, 2022 .

PDjeliClark, TheBlackGodsDrums

Clark is a new-to-me author, and I was impressed by his well-considered, multi-dimensional approach in creating the female characters. They are smart, opinionated, powerful yet self-aware, and in touc...

The Wisdom of Crowds (The Age of Madness #3) by Joe Abercrombie

March 8, 2022 .

books, Fantasy, joeabercrombie, thewisdomofcrowds theageofmadness

The bloodthirsty deviousness and callousness that came to Rikke and Leo ( I spare no sympathy for him anyway), the kindness that would sometimes peek through Savine’s hard veneer – it was ...

The Trouble With Peace (The Age of Madness #2) by Joe Abercrombie

March 8, 2022 .

Fantasy, joeabercrombie, Prejudice

The parts that stuck out the most for me were the war depictions. Abercrombie writes them so well I felt I was at the front lines – the racing thoughts in the heads of the soldiers as they rush ...

Can a female character really be a heroine if life hasn’t fucked her sideways (often in the form of sexual abuse) to shape her up?

Rebel’s Creed (Lawful Times #2) by Daniel Greene

March 3, 2022 .

danielgreene, rebelscreed

The book hits over and over with great character moments, stellar world building, and plot moments that had me enraptured. I expect Greene’s work in the series to only get bigger and better ...

The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard #1) by Scott Lynch

February 23, 2022 .

gentlemanbastard, theliesoflockelamora

Locke is a genius. He makes Kaz Brekker look like a child (which he is; well kinda). His schemes are bloody schemes. Don’t get me wrong, Locke Lamora is not a good guy in any way. He’s mor...

Malice (The Faithful and The Fallen #1) by John Gwynne

February 22, 2022 .

johngwynne, malice, thefaithfulandthefallen

When a fantasy book has lots of characters, it’s scary because that means not all of them will make it. Even at that I can’t help loving them and hope the author doesn’t kill off all...

February 22, 2022 .

The structure of the Tsurani society becomes much clearer as we are allowed to explore the involution, the finer points of the socio-political construct.

Daughter of the Empire (The Empire Trilogy #1) by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts

November 21, 2023 .

With all the plotting and schemes going on, one would be forgiven for not giving apt credit to the excellent world-building. Being a fan of Feist’s former series set in this world, it’s on...
