Review: Myrrh by Polly Hall
I have mixed feelings on this one. On one hand Myrrh kept me absolutely hooked throughout, I found myself staying up late to read just a biiiit more.

On the other hand I felt like the ending fell a little flat, I just wanted things to come together a little more in respects to Myrrh and Cayenne’s stories.

Review: The Art of High on Life by Paul Davies
It isn’t often that an art book makes you sit down and read it cover to cover, but The Art of High on Life did just that. Including a tonne of stunning art and commentary The Art of High on Life takes you through the whole of the game from start to finish. If you’ve finished the game it feels a bit like a trip down memory lane, but with some extra discoveries along the way. If you’re new to High on Life I’d recommend dipping in and out of the art book as you progress through each bounty.
