m a big fan of anything Brandon Sanderson is involved with, and typically I’m engaged, impressed and enjoy his books. But somehow Dark One Volume 1 couldn’t connect with me.

Review: The Shadow of The Gods (Bloodsworn Saga #1) by John Gwynne
of soil in front of her wooden built dwelling. She dug up little holes for laying vegetable seeds, but as she lost herself into the peaceful endeavor, a rat-sized butterfly landed on the soil—a few feet away from her. She glanced at the large multi-colored wings and appreciated its beauty. Abruptly, the butterfly shifted to expose its body and revealed a set of enormous claws and an odd opening filled with sharpened teeth. The creature flew directly at her neck and sunk its jaw into her jugular.
Review: Son of the Storm (The Nameless Republic #1) by Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Son of the Storm is the first installment in Suyi Davies Okunbowa’s The Nameless Republic series, and if it is any indication of how the rest of this series is going to go I have a feeling it is going to be quite a hit. In my opinion, this book has many elements that make it a really good read.
Review: Heroes Wanted: A Fantasy Anthology
This anthology has a special place in my heart, and I feel like I owe it to talk about all of the stories in a non-spoiler fashion, giving you a quick insight into each and what makes them so brilliant. So less of a review and more of just a straight up gush. This is why you should read Heroes Wanted!

Book Tour + Signed Book Giveaway: Chaos Rising (Nine World Chronicles #2) by Lyra Wolf
Chaos Rising is book 2 in Lyra Wolf’s Nine World Chronicles, and the third release in the series (click on the links to find my reviews of the previous books Lies, Knives, and Apples and Truth and Other Lies). I have really enjoyed this series from beginning to end. The characters are interesting, the storyline is fascinating and suspenseful, and I love the Norse vibes.
Mini-Review: Lies, Knives, and Apples (Nine World Chronicles #0.5) by Lyra Wolf
Lies, Knives, and Apples is a novella set in Lyra Wolf’s Norse-inspired Nine World Chronicles universe. This is going to be a mini review, as the book is only 75 pages long. I enjoyed this side story, for the most part, though there is one big issue I want to discuss.
Review: Triggernometry and Advanced Triggernometry (Triggernometry #1-2) by Stark Holborn
Gun-slinging mathematicians in an alternate history Wild West shouldn’t work, right? Right? Well, I am here to tell you that it, in fact, does because that’s exactly what we have in Stark Holborn’s two Triggernometry novellas and somehow she manages to make math look cool.
Review: Wraithblade by S.M. Boyce
Wraithblade, a sprawling epic, amazed me from beginning to end and left me wanting more of the story that involves an unlikely team of characters; Connor, Murdoch, Sophia and the rest of the supporting characters. It ramped up slowly where S.M. Boyce takes a generous amount of time introducing us to its world filled with kingdoms, beautiful fauna, political power struggles and its own magic system, and then goes into high gear with a palette full of action and a smorgasbord of twists and turns!
Review: The Shadow of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Saga #1) by John Gwynne
The Shadow of the Gods is the first book in John Gwynne’s Bloodsworn Saga, and if it is any indication as to how the rest of the series is going to go, readers are in for quite a treat. I enjoyed this book immensely.
