I finally got around to reading it!Back in 2019-2020 this book was the only one anyone ever read, by the sounds of it. Everywhere you turned people were talking about Tamsyn Muir and how amazing her scifi-fantasy debut was! And it is! I knew already then that I wanted to read it, and finally I... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson
There we have it! The fourth and last book in Brandon Sanderson's secret four-books-a-year kickstarter project - and what a book it is! I think I've mentioned in every review of the three other kickstarter projects so far, that I was not well-versed in Sanderson's writing and his many, many universes. I'd read Skyward (my...

Book Review: Yumi and The Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
The most successful kickstarter ever delivers again! I mostly knew Sanderson by rumor when I pledged to his insanely successful kickstarter. I had read the first Skyward book and was working on the first in the Mistborn series, and figured getting four mysterious ebooks over the course of a year sounded like a very fun...

Book Review: The Frugal Wizardโs Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson
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 →
