Dark Fantasy

Review: The Blood of Outcasts (The Bane Sword Saga #1) by D.A. Smith

May 16, 2022 by Justin Leave a Comment

Masako is a flawed, angry, and desperate person in a dogged pursuit of redemption for her fallen clan. The depths to which she’ll sink to achieve her goal and the questionable methods she uses to get there ultimately make her a compelling, if unlikable character. With twists and turns as sharp as Masako’s katana and a blistering pace that will leave you breathless, The Blood of Outcasts is a must-read for fans of Japanese-inspired fantasy. The tale of the Dattori Clans’ downfall and Masako’s rage-filled quest to restore her Master’s honor will leave its mark on your soul, as it has mine.

Review: Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May

March 29, 2022 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

The story is dark, extravagant, and feels as if there is danger lurking around every corner—which to be fair, there is. The writing feels lush and intoxicating, luring you into this life of parties, prohibited magical drinks, and dark magic.

Review: The Jealousy of Jalice (A Disaster of Dokojin #1) by Jesse Nolan Bailey

March 23, 2022 by Justin Leave a Comment

The Jealousy of Jalice has been on my TBR for a long time now. Even before it was updated with the snazzy new cover that you see on the print edition now, I was drawn to the decidedly darker, original, cover. The promise made by the original cover, more so than the updated one, is that of a dark and terrifying story. I am happy to say that it delivered on that promise and then some!

Reread Thread: A Chorus of Dragons (Books #1-4) by Jenn Lyons

March 16, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Hey, book friends! As big as our TBRs are and with our busy schedules, it is often difficult to reread books and series – something I have vowed to do more of in 2022.

With that in mind, and as one of my favorite series being completed this year, I decided it was the perfect time for a reread of Jenn Lyons’ A Chorus of Dragons series. The final book, The Discord of Gods, releases in April, and the seri
