Review: Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom – A Grisha Duology: Leigh Bardugo.
This story starts two years ago. When I caved and bought the first in the series that preceded this: Shadow and Bone. The Grisha trilogy was mythical, epic, gorgeously dark, sparkling with magic, and twisting with the push pull of religion, politics, and loyalty. I was entranced and bewitched – seriously go buy it. It’ll massively…

Review: Stealing Snow – Danielle Paige
I hold this book personally responsible for my book lag this month. That and I finally got some writing done on my own book, an obviously time consuming process. I was really rather looking forward to this book. After Disney’s butchery of the snow queen story that somehow took over the world and had people…

Review: The Graces -Laure Eve
This book is another twittersphere recommendation. It was a book I was hearing a lot of good things about and when I fell over it on offer in Waterstones whilst ambling round with our own beloved Hannah Brown, (a shopping trip involving any of the three of us is incomplete without an incursion into a…

Twitter is a weird and wonderful place. Used properly I have discovered it to be wonderful life enhancing tool. I have seen its uglier side in action but on my own literary journey it’s been a blessing. One day a long time ago now I was followed by this bloke who went by the handle…

Review: An Ember In The Ashes, A Torch Against The Night.
Last year Sabaa Tahir’s An Ember in the Ashes was published to universal acclaim. Reading it, it’s easy to see why. I myself tore through it in one sitting. Tightly plotted, with characters so sharply portrayed, it is as if the book has been plugged into 1080 HD, Ember is a roller coaster to the…

Review: Empire of Storms – Sarah J. Maas
If you’ve ever read my tweets or the former blog you know that I am an enormous fan of the Throne of Glass series. That I was so entranced when I first discovered it, I literally couldn’t put Crown of Midnight (book 2) to the point I poked myself in the eye with mascara wand…
