Review: Beware of Chicken: a Xianxia Cultivation Novel (Beware of Chicken #1) by Casualfarmer
When you’re hooked by a book, you’re hooked and Beware of Chicken is a charming – while utterly bizzarre – read that you just need to experience to get it.
Review: Perception Check (The Mages of Velmyra Saga #1) by Astrid Knight
Perception Check is a warm-hearted adventure that certainly feels like the homage to tabletop gaming it is trying to be.

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