The second book in the world's most successful kickstarter is here and it's a lot of fun! The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England is maybe exactly what it sounds like, if you think it sounds like a story about someone who finds themselves in Medieval England, possibly without completely comprehension of why or...

Book Review: Tress Of The Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson
Not only the most successful kickstarter ever - also the best Sanderson book I've ever read. Okay - first things first, I've only read three and that's including this one. I read Skyward first and I recently finished the first installment in the Mistborn series. Both great fantasy/science fiction books that I'd recommend to any... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
It's almost as perfect as everyone says it is. Brandon Sanderson is kind of a mythical author to me, one of those that if you read just a little bit of fantasy here and there and discuss a book now and then, his name will eventually pop up. I don't remember when I first heard... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Sunbird by Wilbur Smith
I loved this! Like reading an Indiana Jones movie (one of the good ones). Being an archaeologist myself I'm immediately on board whenever there's a story about an amazing discovery, hidden for thousands of years, waiting to be unearthed. Usually I dig into (pun very much intended) stuff like this with a big flashing neon... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Call of Chaos by Sean R. Frazier
The Witcher meets The Hobbit in this wonderfully crafted and delightfully terrifying fantasy! Cor'il Silvermoon has been exiled from his homelands - but he doesn't know why. Forced to roam the world outside the safety of what he used to call home, he is destined to meet friends, make enemies, and face the terrors that... Continue Reading →
Read Indie – Find Gems! Book Review: IronBlood by C. H. Knyght
One of the best things about being an indie author is becoming a part of an indie author community. Not only do you meet like-minded souls, make friends for life, and learn to develop your craft and art, but occasionally you come across gems that other members of that community produce. This is one of... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Fall Of Babel
It's suddenly over and now I don't know what to do with myself. Josiah Bancroft's Books Of Babel series is fantastic. If you could only read one more series of books before the world ended and you're into fantasy steampunk, then I'd give you this. It's the kind of book series that will be remembered... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Night of The Swarm by Robert V.S. Redick
The most incredible fantasy story I've ever had the pleasure of reading - and now it's done. I've had a difficult relationship with this series. I think I mentioned at least once or twice in all my previous reviews of Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3, how difficult I found it to grasp Redick's... Continue Reading →
Book Review: River of Shadows by Robert Redick
Redick has created some of the most incredible fantasy I've ever had the pleasure of reading!
Book Review: The Rats and the Ruling Sea by Robert V.S. Redick
The most intricate, perplexingly detailed and well-constructed fantasy you'll ever read. This is the second book in the The Chathrand Voyage series, and it's just as good as the first book. The story follows the lives of several passengers on the massive ship, Chathrand, and details their adventures as they are pulled into a multi-leveled... Continue Reading →
