Review: The Exile (The Bound and The Broken #2.5) by Ryan Cahill
The Exile is a novella that should not be skipped for fans of The Bound and The Broken. A story of devastating loss & brutal revenge, this is a tale told with finesse!
Review: Rise of the Ranger (The Echoes Saga #1) by Philip C Quaintrell
Filled with elves, magic, dragons, a secret assassins guild (more on them later) and more fantasy tropes than you can shake a magical stick at, Rise of the Ranger is a great start to what promises to be a brilliant series!
Review: Ascendant (Songs of Chaos #1) by Michael R. Miller
Ascendant gave me everything I expected from an epic fantasy dragon rider story – all the usual tropes are present, like coming of age, found family, good vs evil, magical bonds – but it felt so fresh and new. The author has taken a tried and tested formula and made it his own.

Review: Bookshops & Bonedust (Legends & Lattes #0) by Travis Baldree
Bookshops & Bonedust won’t be published until November 2023, and typically I try to hold reviews until it’s closer to the publish date, however as soon as I saw the approval email come in, I had to drop everything and read it.
Review: Dark Water Daughter (The Winter Sea #1) by H. M. Long
Long has presented us with an incredible adventure that hits the ground running, full of fascinating and interesting characters, that are also so delightfully vivid, to open a series that promises so much more to come. The writing is truly atmospheric, fast paced and flowing, without sacrificing any detail, nor weighing down the story with any needless expositing. It all happens so organically that you are fully immersed in this cold pirate world.
Review: Dark Water Daughter (The Winter Sea #1) by H.M. Long
Overall, I think this is H.M. Long’s strongest work yet. I’ve been following her on social media for some time, and she has said that she came up with the first idea twenty years ago, and that passion for the story really shines through.
