  • The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison is the third and final book in the Cemeteries of Amalo Trilogy. I’m definitely sad that this great trilogy is ending but also can’t wait to see what the author has in store for her fans with whatever project she has upcoming next. In this last novel of…

  • Poison in Their Hearts by Laura Sebastian is the third and final book in the Castle in Their Bones trilogy set. I’m really not going to lie about the fact that I’ve been eagerly waiting for this book to drop ever since the completion of Stardust in Their Veins! It’s not always that I read…

  • Dark Disciple by Christie Golden is a standalone novel in the Star Wars universe set around The Clone Wars timeline. It stars both Jedi Master Quinlan Vos and ex-Sith member Asajj Ventress, both of whom this novel serves as my introduction to. It always feels great to come back to read a Star Wars novel…

  • The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez is an epic fantasy novel set in an ancient country. The novel actually tells its story from several different timelines. Although I’ve read some people having a difficult time keeping track of them, I find it overly exaggerated. It wasn’t difficult at all. What may be more…

  • The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard is the first book of two in her Lays of the Hearth-Fire series. This is a series about restricted friendship, familial love, heritage, politics and beyond. Make no mistake, a lot of commitment is required with the book clocking in at almost 1000 pages. I’m surprised myself…

  • Redwall by Brian Jacques is the first book of 22 in the series! This one is a bit special, as I’m sure it will be to thousands of other readers as well. As a kid growing up, I remember seeing this novel in my local library, but never having the guts to tackle it for…

  • The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson is the fourth and final standalone novel in his Secret Projects series. I’ve had the impression that the best will be served last. But the author did me wrong. I can’t believe that The Sunlit Man is worse in every single way than The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving…

  • Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson is book number 3 of 4 in his Secret Projects series. After the dud that was The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, I’m happy to claim that this series is right back on track after having completed book three in the series. It’s great to…

  • The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson is book number 2 of 4 in his Secret Projects series. For something that is extremely odd for me to do, I can’t recommend this book. I’m going on a wild assumption that fans of Brandon Sanderson will also feel the same. On that…

  • The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland is one of the most beautiful yet sad novel I’ve had the pleasure of reading since I can remember. The thought of being able to live forever sounds like bliss for so many yet here we can to hear from a seemingly normal individual who had no choice…
