Book Review: All Systems Red by Martha Wells
Apparently this has been the Summer of the Novella for me — I recently read the three books in the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire and The Blue Salt Road by Joanne M. Harris. While novellas aren’t something I often read, I really feel like I’ve been missing out on great stories lately. All… Continue reading

Becky Chambers is one of my absolute favourite authors and I adore her books. Record of a Spaceborn Few was one of my most highly anticipated books of the year, and I must say that it did not disappoint. Continue reading

Book Review: After the Fire by Will Hill
I must confess that I initially ignored the hype surrounding After the Fire. It is listed as a contemporary YA novel, a genre I don’t tend to enjoy, and I knew nothing about it but the hype.

Book Review: The Light Between Us by Katie Khan
I’ve been shouting at you all ever since reading and loving Katie Khan’s debut novel Hold Back the Stars last year. In fact, it was one of my favourite books of 2017 — I hadn’t read anything else quite like it and Katie became an auto-buy author for me. When I learned her new book… Continue reading

Book Review: Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
I have been hearing great things about Roshani Chokshi’s writing for years — she’s the author of the Star Touched Queen novels and tends to incorporate a great deal of Indian mythology and folklore into her books. I’ve been really interested in reading some books that feature Indian mythology, so when the Indian Literature Readathon… Continue reading

Book Review: Redemption’s Blade by Adrian Tchaikovsky
As you guys may know by now, I love fantasy books that investigate the aftermath of wars or sieges — I’m always keen to see what happens after the dust settles.

Book Review: City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett
As you guys may have already seen, I absolutely loved City of Stairs, the first book in this trilogy, to the point where I couldn’t actually figure out how to review it. I was hesitant about reading City of Blades for several reasons, the main one being the dreaded second book syndrome. Some of my recent… Continue reading

Book Review: Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
Uprooted is a book that I absolutely love and am very thankful for. It’s the book that broke the worst reading slump of my life, which had been carrying on for months. I love it so much, despite its (romance) problems, and I constantly recommend it. You can probably imagine my excitement when I heard… Continue reading

Book Review: Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire
The Wayward Children series has been quite a rollercoaster ride for me. I absolutely adored Every Heart a Doorway and despised Down Among the Sticks and Bones. I wasn’t entirely sure how to feel when I picked up Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third book in the series. Would I be delighted? Disappointed? Underwhelmed? The… Continue reading
