For me, Of Blood & Fire feels like a love letter to classic, traditional fantasy. Ryan Cahill is passionate about the fantasy genre. I thoroughly enjoyed Of Blood & Fire and I look forward to getting to the chonky sequel!
Review: The Citrine Key (Dragon Spirits #0.5) by L.L. MacRae
The Citrine Key is fantastical in every sense of the word… it’s so much fun that you’d be silly to pass up on it.
Review: Tender Is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
Be prepared to be very uncomfortable for 200 plus pages, and maybe think about switching to a vegan diet whilst you’re at it.
Review: The Bladed Faith (The Vagrant Gods #1) by David Dalglish
The Bladed Faith is, without a doubt, a whole lot of fun… I recommend this book to everyone, however I whole heartedly believe it is essential for lovers of anime and the golden age of Square JRPGs…

Review: Uzumaki by Junji Ito
Uzumaki is deserving of its accolades… With incredible artwork, genuinely frightening moments and scenes and events that will stick with me forever (and I know for a fact it will inspire my own writing), I urge all fans of horror or dark manga to give this a go.
Books That Made Me Cry Like A Lil’ Baby
Get your tissues ready (and for you lizard folk out there, prime your tongues) as you’re going to be dabbing at your seeing-balls after reading these books!
Review: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
It’s a blockbuster of a book, a space epic, a race against time, and a novel about cooperation, friendship, and the greatest sacrifice of them all. I cannot recommend this book enough!
Review: Heroes Wanted: A Fantasy Anthology
This anthology has a special place in my heart, and I feel like I owe it to talk about all of the stories in a non-spoiler fashion, giving you a quick insight into each and what makes them so brilliant. So less of a review and more of just a straight up gush. This is why you should read Heroes Wanted!
