Review: Rememory by Frasier Armitage

May 24, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Armitage’s tightly packed sprint down memory lane is an unmissable sci-fi surge. It’s definitely not something to forget.

Review: Mercury Rising by R.W.W. Greene

May 20, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

A neo-retrofuturistic fest that looks at humanity through a curious lens while an alien menace has guns that go ZARK!

Author Q&A: R.W.W. Greene – Author of Mercury Rising

May 11, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

“Doubt is more interesting than surety. Doubt is a powerful place to exist because it’s a position of openness and flexibility. Do I take this path or that one?”

Review: Memories of Blood and Shadow (Book 1) by Aaron S. Jones

April 14, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There are so many scenes and tales for Tavar to tell but I just wanted them to keep on coming for another 600 pages. Jones is serving up some serious sandtasy and you need to experience it for yourself.

Review: The Blood of Outcasts (The Bane Sword Trilogy #1)

March 30, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There’s a lot to love about TBoO, especially its acronym, but it’s an incredibly bloody, gritty, ronin romp that’s well worth checking out.

Review: The Legend of the Dream Giants by Dustin Hansen

February 10, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

This is a heartfelt fable with a pure message and has been a really enjoyable surprise for 2022.

Review: Mickey7 by Edward Ashton

February 8, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Barnes’ shithousery makes for an entertaining and likeable protagonist, the premise is original and excellent, plus the fact I had to scrabble to find two comp titles should give a good indication of what a breath of fresh air Mickey7 is to read!

Review: The Leviathan by Rosie Andrews

February 2, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The Leviathan feels like one of the biggest releases of the year. It’s awesome in its execution and perfect pacing. What starts out as a witchy is she/isn’t she? mystery novel darkens and darkens into something bigger, something so malignant and powerful that you really shouldn’t be anywhere near whether you’re a sceptical protagonist or not.

The Bone Spindle (The Bone Spindle #1) by Leslie Vedder

January 28, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There’s countless heart wrenching twists, turns, kisses, pledges of love and betrayals that just feels so satisfying. I hope we have a chance to go ruin-delving with Shane and Fi again very soon because I really wasn’t ready for this book to end.

Review: Of Darkness and Light (The Bound and The Broken #2) by Ryan Cahill

December 29, 2021 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

For me personally Of Darkness and Light could have been 900 pages longer and it wouldn’t have mattered. It’s that epically good.

Review: Of Blood and Fire (The Bound and the Broken #1) by Ryan Cahill

November 12, 2021 by Tom Bookbeard 1 Comment

Cahill’s prose, which glides between brutally epic and elegant, has a playful tone that at times reads like a sassy John Gwynne. It is a series being crafted by someone who loves the fantasy genre and is fully adept at making it sing.
