Shackled Fates is the second volume in the Hanged God trilogy, the story that carries right on from the first. Right back into the action, right back into the tale; the bard strums his guitar and continues the fireside tale of Vikings, their gods, and the impending final battle. Holdt effortlessly writes with a voice that’s whispered from ear to ear, passed down through the histories and into the story we have in front of us; with face-paced action, large-scale battles, and whispers in the wind, we’re transported through the Nine Worlds again on a story that promises to change the fate of them all.

Review: The Liar of Red Valley by W.L. Goodwater
A wildly imaginative urban fantasy!
Review: The Liar of Red Valley by Walter Goodwater
Wow. Just wow. I had heard good things about The Liar of Red Valley, but to actually read it for myself was something else. I sat down thinking I’d just start it and then it was many hours later and I’d read the vast majority of the book.
The front of the ARC reads:
Do not trust the liar.
Do not go in the river.
Do not cross the King.
Review: Campaigns & Companions: The Complete Role-Playing Guide for Pets by Andi Ewington and Rhianna Pratchett
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve been a big supporter of this book since the start of the year. Something about it drew my attention and I’ve been awaiting my copy ever since. I actually read this the moment it appeared through my letterbox, and then it got passed around the family to much laughter.
Guest Post: The Romans in Seven Deaths by G.R. Matthews
Okay, I’m going to be honest right out of the gate, and to spare all our blushes (especially mine) – I’m not a trained or qualified historian. My sole qualification in this area is a GCSE in History, which was all Modern History (WW1 to WW2, if I remember correctly) and therefore far too recent […]

Reading comprehension, ace. Second, there’s just so many great books releasing this month! Truly, it’s unbelievable how many there are and I’ll have you know that I had to leave a TON of great books off the list in order to pare it down to a (somewhat) reasonable level. This list is all killer, no filler. Take a look.
Review: Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee
Synopsis Finding work as an artist is hard. Working for a shady government ministry while falling in love with your watcher, who just so happened to kill your sister’s wife, is even harder, not to mention when you’re tasked with rewriting a dragon automaton warmachine that happens to be a pacifist! Jebi is an aspiring […]
Review: The Liar of Red Valley by Walter Goodwater
Synopsis Red Valley is real boondock country. There’s a Walmart, a dive bar, a diner with a tree growing through it, and a river. There’s also the King. You don’t cross the King. You never, ever, go in the river. Oh, and you don’t trust the Liar … The Liar’s powers allow her to turn […]
Review: Spec Ops Z by Gavin G. Smith
I generally tend to love zombie books because I’m such a huge fan of the genre. I am especially happy when it is more focussed on zombie/human conflict rather than the human/human conflict many books fall into. Therefore I was over the moon with Spec Ops Z. Not only is it very much about zombie/human conflict, and not only that, our main characters become zombies themselves. Thinking, intelligent zombies who hunger for human flesh but can control themselves. It’s a twist on a genre I love so much.
