Review: Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert

July 1, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Our Crooked Hearts is a double tale of mother and daughter coming into magic and its consequences, when they were each 16-17 years old. The mother’s half of the story is told in flashbacks so as to create parallelisms with her daughter’s present storyline, cleverly woven in such a way that what happened in the past is slowly revealed to optimally fit and complement what is happening in the present.

Review: King of Battle and Blood (Adrian X Isolde #1) by Scarlett St. Clair

June 12, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

St. Clair’s story fits within a few great romance tropes, such as marriage of convenience and enemies to lovers, but it also employs some of my favorite tropes across any genre, for instance wrong/fake history being revealed for what it was, misconceptions being broken down, and an epic revenge story revealed gradually with great effect.

Review: Equinox by David Towsey

February 24, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Towsey has created a deeply atmospheric and captivating book that brought together the aging inspector Adamat from McClellan’s Powdermage trilogy, the ambience and eerie feel of the tv series The Alienist, as well as that near constant sense of the uncanny present throughout Neil Gaiman’s the Sandman comics. Talk about a right mix huh?

The Bone Spindle (The Bone Spindle #1) by Leslie Vedder

January 28, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There’s countless heart wrenching twists, turns, kisses, pledges of love and betrayals that just feels so satisfying. I hope we have a chance to go ruin-delving with Shane and Fi again very soon because I really wasn’t ready for this book to end.

Review: Priest of Lies (War for the Rose Throne #2) by Peter McLean

November 13, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Synopsis Tomas Piety has been many things: soldier, priest, gangster…and spy. As Tomas’s power grows, the nobility better watch their backs, in this dark and gritty epic fantasy series. People are weak, and the poorer and more oppressed they are, the weaker they become–until they can’t take it anymore. And when they rise up…may the […]

Review & Interview – Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom

September 22, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Slewfoot is an intriguing horror story that is both extremely unsettling and utterly satisfying. It is both a tale of finding oneself and pure, unadulterated vengeance. It is both exactly and not even close to what I was expecting upon completion, and I thoroughly enjoyed my gateway drug to Brom’s library.

Review: The Wood Bee Queen by Edward Cox

August 16, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The Wood Bee Queen by Edward Cox is a standalone fantasy reminiscent of old folktales sprinkled with classic fantasy tropes and some Ancient Greek/Roman mythology homages (or Easter eggs if you like). It is also a portal fantasy, which I haven’t read in quite some time, and that definitely catered to some of the nostalgia from my early teens. Through it, Cox tackles timeless themes of good vs evil, blind religious faith, petty/whimsical gods, and the importance of stories, as well as making one’s own decisions without letting others sway you for their gain.

Review: The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue #1) by Christopher Buehlman

July 30, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

This book is absolutely *hilarious*, mostly in a darkly comedic sort of way mind you. Truly, I found myself chuckling right from the first pages at Kinch’s snark and commentary. Sometimes I caught myself laughing really loud too and that was definitely what I wanted as a low effort read these days.
