Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
Another, even better trilogy? I don't remember who got me onto Brandon Sanderson books in the first place, but from the moment I read the first book in the Mistborn series, The Final Empire I was hooked. I followed up with Skyward, got all the four books in his super successful secret kickstarter, and have... Continue Reading →
I've just had the most saddest news! After nearly four years in print, my short story They Came From Nowhere will be taken off the shelves at the end of February, 2025. They Came From Nowhere was first published back in 2021, in an anthology titled CONTACT, released by Black Hare Press. CONTACT was part... Continue Reading →
What a magnificent science fiction adventure! The first thing that struck me about this book and this story is how incredibly detailed and nuanced the world-building is. I loved it from the start, and it immediately pulled me in. The story is as follows: We're introduced to a kid named Leon, who's trying to win... Continue Reading →
It finally happened - I'm finally in on the whole Hunger Games thing... and I'm not sure what to think. Somehow, I never managed to get caught up in the Hunger Games the first time around. Never read a single one of the books, even though they should be right up my alley. Never even... Continue Reading →
The most incredible science fiction book I've ever read. Hyperion is one of those books that I feel like I've heard of my whole life, but never really known anything about. If you've followed this blog for a while, you've probably seen me say that before. It's the same with Dan Simmons. If I heard... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

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...

First came the magic. Then came the aliens. Ellyne is the Golden Gunslinger. A veteran of wars. A historic, almost mythical figure and a hero. And she's so sick of it all. All she wants to do is hide away. To go by her days, unknown and unnoticed, drinking in Victor's pub and trying to... Continue Reading →
One of the fathers of modern science fiction - and a definite must-read! When I started this I was worried I would find it much the same way I found Dune - boring and overlong - but this was the complete opposite. Every part of this novel made me want to keep on reading, keep... Continue Reading →
