This is a short-story collection featuring the “origin story” of the characters in The Mage-Born Chronicles. I read this with no knowledge of the universe and I didn’t have any trouble following along or anything, so if you want to you can read it before Sorcerous Rivalry. There are six
Când penele roșii vor plânge by Lucian Dragoş Bogdan Review

I loved this one. It’s set in a large world the author has created and I’m definitely going to be reading more. There’s only so much detail you can glimpse from a novella, but the setting seems to a big interplanetary world, set in the future where a lot of

The story is a sort of Alice in Wonderland, only it’s a land based on all of the main character’s favorite video games. She moves “as if dragged by a mouse” and she has her memories stored on a CD. The world is interesting, very mysterious with all sorts of
Fortune’s Fool by Angela Boord Review

I got an ARC of Fortune’s Fool through TBRindr and I’d like to thank Angela Boord for it. It started out a bit slow for me, but I ended up really enjoying it, and if I had to sum it up shortly, I’d say it’s complex. So this is going
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison Review

The Goblin Emperor promised to be exactly my kind of book, and it sure did deliver. I heavily prefer noblebright or hopeful books, and I can’t think of a better example. Also, it makes me cry a little bit inside because I want politicians like Maya in real life. The

(The strange case of shadows, title translation mine) This one is a novella, set in the shadow world universe Daniel Timariu has created, set in my city. I’m gonna buy one of his full novels for sure. I’ve always loved urban fantasy that really gives life to a city,and a
Those Brave, Foolish Souls from the City of Swords by Benedict Patrick Review

I am not smart. I was shocked that this rural fairytale world had cities. It was even in the title. So that really threw me, which is why I suspect TBFSFTCOS is my least favorite of the bunch, but I still enjoyed it a lot, especially as the action moves
Balam, Spring by Travis M. Riddle Review

May
2019
Contains a mild spoiler about the direction the story goes, but it’s info that is spelled out even more in the blurb. Balam, Spring starts very idyllic countryside cosy mystery, think Murder She Wrote, and then strays a bit into some horror territory, think Alien, before ending on a sweet

I received the Nine Lives audiobook short story from the narrator in exchange for a review, and I really liked it. This is gonna be a really short review cause the books was only 1:17 mins, and I really wish there were more of it. My favorite things: The setting
Where the Waters Turn Black by Benedict Patrick Review

It’s the second book, but completely unrelated to the first one and can be read by itself. WTWTB is alot lighter than TMCOAT, in tone, atmosphere and actual light levels. It’s set on a sunny archipelago where we follow a young musician trying to carve out her place in the

Mistcloak Cosplay from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson

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
