Review: Unsouled (Cradle #1) by Will Wight
Unsouled was a book that gripped me right from the start; reader, I read this book voraciously in two sittings whilst on my honeymoon. It’s the perfect storm of everything I love: anime, manga, Asian-inspired fantasy novels, tv shows … the list really does go on.
Review: Spine of the Dragon (Wake the Dragon #1) by Kevin J. Anderson
Spine of the Dragon is the first release in Kevin J. Anderson’s Wake the Dragon series. I was really excited going in to this book, as the synopsis mentions many of the aspects I love about fantasy novels: ancient gods, big battles, and dragons. Unfortunately, though, it missed the mark for me.

Review: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Synopsis The House is the World. Countless halls line up, staircase to staircase, vestibule to vestibule. While on the lower floor the tides roar and on the upper floor the rooms are impenetrable by cloud fog, it is reasonably safe on the middle floor. Only birds and fish populate the World, along with fifteen people: […]

FanFiAddict’s Recommendation Station
During TBRCon, there was some chatter about books that need a bigger audience and I took it to heart. When I first began blogging, yeah, I’ll admit it: I was only reading the big names so I could join the conversation and be one of the cool kids. Over the past several years, I myself […]
