Review: The Aeronaut’s Windlass (The Cinder Spires #1) by Jim Butcher
I LOVED this book. I have to admit I was slightly afraid of it when I saw that it was 600+ pages but I shouldn’t have worried because they fly by. I flew through The Aeronaut’s Windlass and it kept me engaged and enthralled the entire time.
The whole premise of humanity living in giant Spires with monsters living on the ground of the world just hooked me. The tiny tidbits you get about the ground were fascinating and I’m really hoping that at some point we get to visit the ground (sorry characters but I want to know what’s there).

Review: Crucible of Chaos (Court of Shadows: Prelude) by Sebastien De Castell
Other than a Masterclass in creative and devastating insults, Crucible of Chaos is the prelude to De Castell’s upcoming series, A Court of Shadows, set once again in the Greatcoats universe, and oh how I’d missed Tristia and its mottle mix of travelling magistrates. Truly dear reader, I can’t even begin to explain to you what the original tetralogy means to me so I won’t try it now. Suffice it to say that this standalone mystery thriller works as an excellent bridge between what came before and what is yet to entertain and possibly hurt us. I for one am dying to see what the author has planned, starting this March.
Review: Swan Song by Robert R McCammon
