The Imaginary Corpse is one of the September releases that I saw everyone raving about and couldn’t wait to get my hands on. And then I did, and I’m on the hype train, front seat and all. Everything about this book is my sort of thing, though that can be

Vita Nostra  is weird, and this review is gonna be pretty rambling, this book is hard for me to put into words. Yes it’s a magic school book, but ohhh boy oh boy, it is not a normal magical school book. I could say it plays with and twists the

DFZ (Detroit Free Zone) is the new series by Rachel Aaron, taking place in Detroit, 20 years after the events in Heartstrikers. I thought it was fun, exciting and quick. The audio book was great as well, similar in vibe to Hearstrikers, but a different narrator.  The story follows Opal,

The Old Kingdom by  Garth Nix is one of the series that has been on my radar as ‘popular’ for a long time, but I never really looked into it. I ended up getting Abhorsen and Lirael dirt cheap on sales and finally picked up Sabriel, to read for the

I loved Spirit Caller, so this is gonna be one of those gushing reviews. It’s got parts that are scary, intense and deals with some dark themes, but also much cosy awesome friendships and a dopey crush. I like light with my darkness, and this book shines.  It’s and urban(rural?)

I’m planning on two cards, which is why I hadn’t noticed when I passed the 50% mark this month! Bingo might have slightly taken over my life. Going for hero mode and I want to both thank and curse the person who came up with it because this is fun,

I picked this up for Australian square on r/fantasy book bingo cause I saw how well it did in the SPFBO, then put it down when I saw it labelled as Grimdark somewhere and then picked it up again when I saw one of the main characters was a whoressasin

I’ve run a tiny bit behind on my bingo hero mode reviews, so this is me ripping the band aid, 7 reviews in one day, what could possibly go wrong. These are possibly not my smartest work . The Warrior’s Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold What’s it about? Tyrion Lanister

I got the audiobook of Clockworld: The Iron City in a r/fantasy giveaway. I  enjoyed parts of it, I thought the world building was really  interesting, and the worldbuilding related mystery and the general plot were good, felt meh about some characters and the narration, but I hated one particular

This is my “random noblewoman” Cosplay mistcloak from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I really wanted to cosplay a character from a fantasy book and this was really the obvious choice for something easily recognizable. For full artistic freedom, she lives sometime between era 1 and era 2, just so I could go with the kind
