Live Playthrough: Siege of Treboulain (with Jed Herne)
Join FanFiAddict’s Adrian M. Gibson, Tori Gross and Connor M. Caplan as they play the beginning of Siege of Treboulain live with Jed Herne. They had a great time experiencing the game together, crafting a consistent main character and making decisions as a team (with the occasional inconsistent decision to throw gasoline on the fire). Jed also answered some questions about the game’s worldbuilding, character progression and more.
Review: That Good Mischief (The Nine Worlds Rising #3) by Lyra Wolf
That Good Mischief is author Lyra Wolf’s latest release and book 3 in The Nine World’s Rising series. I previously read and reviewed the first 2 books in the series and found them to be a joy to read. If you are into stories about Loki, Odin, and Norse mythology, these books are must reads.

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 Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer by Janelle Monáe
To be blunt, I’m not a big reader of short story collections. It’s something that has been a sore spot in my reading history, and something I’ve wanted to amend—at some point. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t found the right collection, or there’s a part of me that connects much more deeply with a novel. But, when I was presented with the opportunity to read and review Janelle Monáe’s new sci-fi collection, The Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer, I was able to slip past whatever mental hurdle I had and dove right in. As a fan of Monáe’s music and amazing concept albums, it came as no surprise that the world and atmosphere of these five stories (which are actually more like novelette length) bleed off the page. While not all of the stories succeed, the interconnected nature of this rich world and its poignant themes makes this collection a worthwhile investment.

Review: Gallant by V.E. Schwab
I make no secret of the fact that V.E. Schwab is one of my favourite authors, and one of my auto-buy authors. I’d had Gallant on pre-order for a long time and couldn’t wait for it’s release.
I feel like recently Schwab’s writing has become more dream-like and whimsical than some of her earlier books. Gallant is no different. Alongside the illustrations and not-quite tangible elements to the plot Gallant turns into a haunting exploration of a family and their secrets. There isn’t a crazy huge plot and actually its far more of a character-based story that has some more intense moments.
