5/5 Stars, Tense, gripping, unrelenting dark fantasy Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is quite a meaty tome, and thoroughly immersive but I must admit it was so intense by the end I was almost relieved to finish it. It was like coming up for air. Something a little lighter for me next, so I canContinue reading “Dissonance -Unbound #1 by Nicoli Gonnella”

Azarinth Healer Book One: A LitRPG Adventure by Rhaegar
4/5 Stars, With a psychotic hero, this was a surprisingly fun read First up, I enjoyed this book, more so as I got deeper into the story but I will say it did start in that rather cliched way of being in our world one minute and somewhere else the next with nobody any theContinue reading “Azarinth Healer Book One: A LitRPG Adventure by Rhaegar”
The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang
4/5 Stars Masterfully penned, vividly brutal, wonderfully unique fantasy I borrowed this book from my son who recommended it to me and after hearing much about it I was intrigued to give it a read.

The Grand Game – Books 1 -8 By Tom Elliot
5/5 Stars – (Adult, YA) Unputdownable LitRPG shenanigans. Well, it has been a little while since my last review and it’s not my fault, really it’s not. I blame Tom Elliot because I have had my nose stuck in his Grand Game Series and I lost track of time. Sooo…. it looks like I haveContinue reading “The Grand Game – Books 1 -8 By Tom Elliot”
Sleight of Hand by Mark Henwick
5/5 Stars – Urban Paranormal Fantasy Fun I haven’t read a paranormal Fantasy for a while and I was intrigued enough by the synopsis and the reviews for Sleight of Hand to give it a go.

Midshipman Henry Gallant At The Academy by H. Peter Alesso
4/5 Stars (YA) Richard Bolitho in Space. I’ve had this book on my reading list for a while and I was overdue a sci-fi read so here we are. It’s pretty softcore sci-fi, with the science and tech easy to follow with enough to it that it satisfied my itch. It is a coming-of-age taleContinue reading “Midshipman Henry Gallant At The Academy by H. Peter Alesso”
