Brandon Sanderson once blurbed the Powder Mage trilogy, calling it “just plain awesome”… I can safely say I totally agree with him!
Harry’s Top 10 Reads of 2021
2021 is now a number of weeks in the rearview mirror, and frankly, good riddance to it. In a year that gave the dumpster fire of 2020 a run for its money, it was pretty crap for everyone all round. However, one thing that wasn’t crap, and something we can rely on no matter when, […]
Review: The Shadow of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Saga #1) by John Gwynne
Take it from me and the other 9 people on this blog that have reviewed it, Shadow of the Gods is a brilliant read!
12 Books I hope to read in 2022 (but please could the Sands of Time slow down a bit so I can actually catch up, thanks)
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!
Review: God Of Gnomes (God Core #1) by Demi Harper
I really enjoyed my time with this book. I was definitely wrong about this subgenre all those years ago, but you’ll have to let me off because I am very dumb indeed! I’m looking forward to seeing where Harper takes us in the next instalment (Exodus of Gnomes, which I will be listening to later this year) and I’m certain that it will be bigger, better and even more enjoyable ride than this one!
Review: The Bone Ships (The Tide Child Trilogy #1) by RJ Barker
I’ve been trying to think of a witty way to start this review. Maybe I could start with a sailing joke? Instead, I’m going to begin with a statement; The Bone Ships, by Robert Holstock Award winner RJ Barker, is utterly phenomenal!
The Double Crossbow Inn by Harry Chilcott
Being the landlord of a renowned inn, famous for its annual Might & Monsters gathering, Arrin takes each day in his stride.
Unfortunately, One-Eyed Jack is on his way to town, and his exploits of banditry and murder are just as infamous.
Originally featured in the It’s A Living anthology, this tale is both funny and full of dark twists and turns.
It’s about time you visited The Double Crossbow Inn!
Review: Clare at Sixteen (Clare Bleeker #1) by Don Roff
I’d say this book is a cross between Dexter and Riverdale… if you’re looking for a fast, funny B-movie of a book, then be sure to pick this up!
