Book Review: Tales of the Celestial Kingdom by Sue Lynn Tan
The Celestial Kingdom duology is a favourite of mine, so ever since this novella released, I’d been keen to find a reason to pick it up. I had a long drive planned several months ago and knew that it was the perfect opportunity to listen to the audiobook the full way through, and I’m glad…

Book Review: The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig
I’m typically not very good at reading books on their release date. At any given time I have such a huge backlog in my TBR that even if something comes out that I’m looking forward to, it tends to sit on my shelf for a long time. I made an exception for The Knight and…

Book Review: Among The Burning Flowers by Samantha Shannon
At this point, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a bigger fan of Samantha Shannon’s writing than me. I’ve read every one of her books and each one of them further convinces me of her immense talent.

Book Review: Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang
There is little that is quite so thrilling as reading a book that you’re confident is going to be an all-time favourite, and that is exactly how I felt as I read Blood Over Bright Haven. This book was a marvel of horrifying magic and unlikeable characters that gets deep under your skin until you…

Book Review: Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner
The Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner is becoming a fast favourite for me. The first book I picked up on a bit of a whim and ended up adoring, and this second instalment built nicely on that premise. This one felt a little broodier and a little darker, and it also took some genuinely…

Book Review: Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross
I loved the Letters of Enchantment duology by Rebecca Ross, so when I heard she was releasing a new standalone novel set within the same world, I knew I’d need to pick it up immediately. While my expectations for this one were high, Ross somehow still managed to blow me away.

Book Review: Katabasis by RF Kuang
I’ve read every one of Kuang’s novels and I find each time it’s a fully engaging experience. Her books tend to be exceptionally heavy, intellectual, and they’re always making a statement, and Katabasis was no exception to this theme.

Book Review: A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon
After reading The Priory of the Orange Tree, I was astounded by the world that Samantha Shannon had managed to craft. It was expansive, intricate, and had so much depth that it was difficult to wrap your mind around how someone can even conceive of something so vast. While I expected A Day of Fallen…

Book Review: The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten
So many of my reads lately have been because I grabbed something off of a clearance rack, and The Foxglove King was one of those picks. The premise of a necromancy based magic system sounded super interesting to me and I’m so glad I picked it up, because I ended up absolutely loving it.

Book Review: Fireborne by Rosaria Munda
It took me a while to write my review for Fireborne by Rosaria Munda. The book is structurally very sound, it has so many elements that I love in a fantasy, and there were times when I was reading it where I was so thoroughly gripped and invested in the characters that I couldn’t stop…
