Review: Light Bringer (Red Rising #6) by Pierce Brown
Light Bringer in itself is a twister of emotion – a torrent so raw and aggressive it scratched away at my psyche only to pick at the scab chapter after chapter. It was brutal, but not in the way of Dark Age. If the previous book was huge, total war in its bloated and truest of forms, then this was personal, a knife in the dark, twisted.
Fantasy Book Review: Waybound (Cradle #12) by Will Wight
This is the Wei! Brilliant. Amazing. Completely satisfying end to one of the best fantasy series of all time!
Review: The Hero Interviews by Andi Ewington
I can fondly describe The Hero Interviews as taking that journal full of rolled-up D&D characters you are never going to get to play, and hitting it against a stack of books by the late Sir Terry Pratchett until it’s studded with footnotes.
Review: The Corset by Laura Purcell

Review: Bob the Wizard by M.V. Prindle
Bob the Wizard is a work of pure fantasy escapism that I couldn’t stop reading. The story comes to a satisfying conclusion, which makes this book a perfect standalone, but with so much more on offer to warrant a series – there’s a whole lot of Astraverse to explore after all. With some fresh takes on tried and tested fantasy tropes, get swept away on an epic fantasy quest, with characters you will fall in love with!
