Book Review: The Wolf of Oren-Yaro by K. S. Villoso
I had been hearing about The Wolf of Oren-yaro for ages thanks to the wonderful folks at The Fantasy Inn, so this book was high on my list of most anticipated reads for 2020. My expectations for this book were sky high, and they were absolutely met. Combining a grim story with high stakes, political… Continue reading

Book Review: Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire
I have a funny relationship with the Wayward Children series — two of the books are my absolute favourite fantasy books, one I really hated, and another left me feeling very ‘meh’. I was very excited to read Come Tumbling Down, but also very cautious due to my mixed feelings on the series so far.… Continue reading

Book Review: The Library of the Unwritten by AJ Hackwith
You know those books that sound like they’re written just for you? That was The Library of the Unwritten for me — a story for book lovers that’s set in Hell’s library and featuring a snarky and slightly uptight librarian? Count me in. I ended up listening to the audiobook and ended up really enjoying… Continue reading

Book Review: Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes
I’ll be honest, as soon as I heard ‘psychic cats’ I was all in on Chilling Effect. I love space opera, I love off-beat heroes, and I love cats. While banter-y ‘squad’ sci-fi books don’t tend to work for me (see my burning hatred of Aurora Rising), but there was something about Chilling Effect that… Continue reading

Book Review: A Queen in Hiding by Sarah Kozloff
A Queen in Hiding is a fantasy debut perfect for anyone tired of waiting for the next installment in their favourite series to release. One of the big marketing points of this book is the fact that one book in the series will come out per month from January through April 2020, making it the… Continue reading

Book Review: King of Assassins by RJ Barker
I discovered the Wounded Kingdom series in mid-2019 and devoured it before the year-end — very uncharacteristic for me, a notoriously slow series reader. I loved the first two books, but was a little wary of finishing it up, as I was seriously let down by two of my most anticipated trilogy conclusions of 2019.… Continue reading

Book Review: Thornbound and Moontangled by Stephanie Burgis
The Harwood Spellbook is a delightful series of fantasy short novels and novellas centering on the Harwood family and their peers in an alternate version of Regency England. In a rigid world in which women are politicians and men are magicians, the Harwoods are shattering gender roles and pursuing their hearts. This series is one… Continue reading
