by Leave a Comment

In which we find out what happens when the most legendary (in his own mind) werewolf in all the land is set up on a series of blind dates. Asil is perfectly content living a reclusive life tending to his flowers. When a Concerned Friend sends him an e-mail informing him that he has been set up on five dates through various websites over the next three weeks, Asil takes it in stride. Who wouldn’t want to spend a delightful evening with all of his […]

A lovely ending to a very original fantasy trilogy

The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam by Megan Bannen

by Leave a Comment

Thanks to Netgalley and Orbit Books for this ARC. My opinions, are as always, my own. This is the third book in the series, and as such, not the best place to start reading. This review may contain some spoilers for the previous two books in the series, and the place to begin is with The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy. Tanrian Marshall Rosie Fox can’t die. Or at least she doesn’t stay dead, because she’s a demigod, daughter of the Trickster. She is 157 […]

Well, I’ve gotten this far, why not just continue.

Hijack the Seas: Seismic (Cassie Palmer #13) by Karen Chance

by Leave a Comment

How to sum up the thirteenth book in a series that has no end in sight? Okay, let me try: Cassandra Palmer, former ward of a vampire mobster, now Pythia, top seer in the world, Oracle of Delphi, is in the battle for her life. The daughter of a human mage and Artemis, aka Hel (because apparently all gods do double or triple duty with all world religions), Cassie has to stop Zeus/Odin and the other gods from breaking into our world and destroying everyone. […]

And in conclusion maybe we skip some bits and pretend we knew all along

Noragami vol 27 by Adachitoka

by Leave a Comment

 Noragami series finale, volume 27 wrapped up most threads, but parts were rushed. The thing that bothered me most was the initial connection between Hiyori and Yato that got ignored for a good chunk of the middle and final acts suddenly gets relevant again, and it doesn’t work with such a major gap. I’m also not sure what happened with Bishamon and Kazuma, but suddenly there’s a scene with them just chatting in the immediate aftermath of a zombie apocalypse (that’s the nearest equivalent, even […]

“We are but fevered stars. Here a little while, bright with promise, before we burn away.”

Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse

by Leave a Comment

I’ve been struggling with review writing lately and decided to give the 5 Ws way a shot because this book/series is too good to not share. What:  Fevered Star, is the second book in Rebecca Roanhorse’s  Between Earth and Sky series.  The first is Black Sun, which I thoroughly enjoyed!  It is an epic fantasy tale where Gods seek to regain power in the mortal realm and human power players seek to reshape control of the land and seas. Who:  Naranpa, Sun Priest, who has now become […]

Inconceivable, or I do not think that word means what you think it means

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

by 4 Comments

Kit Rocha’s Consort of Fire has done something really well: it has hit that sweet spot between a really well-envisioned fantasy world and romance. Queer romance at that. You could pick it up for either of those genres and be completely satisfied. The fact that it does justice to both is proof that the two authors behind the pseudonym of Kit Rocha are the real deal. Consort of Fire has done an excellent job of introducing us to this fantasy world where the Gods and […]
