Standalone

Review: Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky

November 30, 2023 by Craigbookwyrm Leave a Comment

Cage of Souls is a captivating work of speculative fiction of the highest order. A standalone that felt like an entire series in scope and imagination. Adrian Tchaikovsky’s world building and storytelling is off the charts in this outrageously entertaining story.

Review: Before The Devil Knows You’re Here by Autumn Krause

October 3, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The best way I can think to summarize this book would be to say that Krause writes up an atmospheric homage to a mixed cultural background and the memory of a person dear to her, depicting a different, darker, and more folk gothic side to early 19th century americana. Bringing to life that solid and vivid mix of folk tales and myth that were also paired with the Christian overtones informing the 1800s American short story. Think Washington Irving’s The Devil and Tom Walker but add more monsters and a gutsy young woman willing to do anything for her family.

Three Mini Reviews in One

March 18, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader or listener, I hope you are well!
Seen as I haven’t brought any reviews for your reading pleasure in a while, but I’ve also struggled to sit and write my usual long form ramblings because of reasons, I thought I’d try something a little different and present three mini reviews in one.
A Fantasy, a Gothic Romance, and a Romcom.

Review: World Running Down by Al Hess

March 10, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There’s a huge amount of love in this book. WRD was meant to be a palette cleanser for me in the all-you-can-eat buffet of space opera sci-fi out there at the moment but it shone as a wonderful book in its own right.

Review: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

February 10, 2023 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

This book bottles the feeling of fandom; that feeling that the media that you’re consuming is so RIGHT that it fits you like a missing puzzle piece.
