Middlegame by Seanan McGuire

Imaginative and insanely readable, Seanan McGuire has become one of those authors who I now pick up whenever I need a little reading pick-me-up, and she hasn’t let me down yet. In Middlegame we meet Roger and Dodger, twins created by an alchemist bent on distilling The Doctrine (essentially what makes the world go round) into human form and making him the most powerful alchemist in the world. Roger and Dodger aren’t his first set of twins on this rodeo, but they are the most […]

Faerie relationship etiquette is really strange, but I really like some aspects of it.

A Killing Frost by Seanan McGuire

Spoiler warning! This is book 14 in an ongoing series. You will be pretty hopelessly lost if this is the first one you pick up. This is an excellent paranormal fantasy series, but the place to start is with Rosemary and Rue. Also, there may be plot discussion about events that have happened earlier in the series, so don’t read the review unless you’re actually caught up. Official book description: When October is informed that Simon Torquill—legally her father, due to Faerie’s archaic marriage traditions—must be […]

Feeding my Toby habit again

Night and Silence by Seanan McGuire

September 24, 2020 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

I’ve become rather addicted to the Toby Daye series, so it’s been super frustrating to me that the UK Kindle release dates seem to be so behind which inevitably leads to me giving in before the time is up and breaking the promise I may not to bring more physical books into the house. But it’s been worth it – Toby always helps to bring back my reading mojo when I need it most. Night & Silence is the twelfth outing for Toby, and we […]

Dear Faerie: AITA for Not Inviting My Step-Dad to My Wedding?

A Killing Frost by Seanan McGuire

Regular disclaimer for reviews in this series: we are fourteen books in now if you can believe it. Series spoilers can’t really be avoided. So I won’t bother But seriously, fourteen books in already? With a series this long, some drops in quality are to be expected and some instalments will work better than others. I have to admit, while I enjoyed the previous book, The Unkindest Tide, it did feel a little like treading water to me. But happily, for me, A Killing […]

A lovely escape from the real world

Reflections (Indexing #2) by Seanan McGuire

September 14, 2020 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

I’ve been struggling to read much this year, particularly as I’d been picking quite weighty books to plough through, so I decided it was time for some brain candy. I’ve been loving Seanan McGuire for a while now, so while waiting to get my hands on more of the Toby Daye series (the UK kindle release dates would appear to be years behind everywhere else) I decided to visit her Indexing world again. For those who are new to Indexing, we follow a team from […]

A Long Due Quest

A Killing Frost by Seanan McGuire

Bingo Square: Happy (New Toby Daye makes me happy) Over the last two months, quite a few fantasy series I enjoy have had new release published. Since I tend to pre-order certain authors, I don’t always pay close attention to the actual release date, so I have woken up to a few surprises lately that changed my reading plans for that day. For me, these new books have ranged from disappointing to very good, even if I haven’t bothered to review them yet. A Killing […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
