Following the stories of the gods, primordials, and other immortals of Mythos, the stories of Heroes turn the focus to, you guessed it, heroes. These are the men and women who rose up and exemplified themselves despite being human, despite being mortal. They often have divine lineages, but it was the extraordinary traits and featsContinue reading “Heroes BOOK REVIEW”

Mythos BOOK REVIEW
Greek myths are stories I have always felt like I have always known just the bare minimum about, but have known something about a lot of those stories. Everyone knows about Zeus and the Olympians, I remember the first time I watched Troy, and reading the Iliad was one of my first forays into theContinue reading “Mythos BOOK REVIEW”
One Foot in the Fade BOOK REVIEW
The third book in the Fetch Phillips series, One Foot in the Fade sees readers welcomed back to Sunder City by Luke Arnold. Immediately it feels like a very different place from the Sunder of the first two books, and the feel of the story has likewise shifted. One Foot in the Fade feels likeContinue reading “One Foot in the Fade BOOK REVIEW”
Dead Man in a Ditch BOOK REVIEW
Fetch Phillips became a favorite character of mine after reading The Last Smile in Sunder City, and Luke Arnold’s craft at storytelling meant that I have been recommending his books ever since. When I picked up Dead Man in a Ditch, I was excited for the return to the fantasy noir genre, which always promisesContinue reading “Dead Man in a Ditch BOOK REVIEW”
The Hunger of the Gods, The Bloodsworn Saga 2 BOOK REVIEW
Contains spoilers for The Shadow of the Gods. The sequel to what quickly became my favorite new read of 2022, The Hunger of the Gods continues the legacy of the Bloodsworn Saga with its fantastic cast of characters set in the Battle-Plain in a story influenced and inspired by Norse sagas and mythology. After Lik-RifaContinue reading “The Hunger of the Gods, The Bloodsworn Saga 2 BOOK REVIEW”
The Shadow of the Gods, The Bloodsworn Saga 1 BOOK REVIEW
As surprising as it may seem, the thing that made The Shadow of the Gods first catch my eye was the cover art. Scrolling through social media and it was enough to make me look a little deeper. I then learned about John Gwynne as an author and read the synopsis for the book, andContinue reading “The Shadow of the Gods, The Bloodsworn Saga 1 BOOK REVIEW”
A Court of Silver Flames, ACOTAR 4 BOOK REVIEW
In the longest and potentially most vibrant work of Sarah J. Maas’ I have read, A Court of Silver Flames bursts with color and emotion from the first pages. Returning to the land of Prythian is familiar, but in stepping away from the similarly familiar perspectives of Feyre and Rhysand, the story takes a differentContinue reading “A Court of Silver Flames, ACOTAR 4 BOOK REVIEW”
A Court of Frost and Starlight, ACOTAR Novella BOOK REVIEW
In what be my favorite showing from Sarah J. Maas in this series thus far, A Court of Frost and Starlight takes a slower, more personal, and frankly enjoyable look at Feyre and her family in the days after the end of the war with Hybern and the events of A Court of Wings andContinue reading “A Court of Frost and Starlight, ACOTAR Novella BOOK REVIEW”
A Court of Wings and Ruin, ACOTAR 3 BOOK REVIEW
After the high stakes climax of A Court of Mist and Fury, the third book in Sarah J. Maas’ beloved series drops right into the loaded circumstances Feyre Archeron has landed herself in. No longer a woman fighting for her place in the world who struggled to see where she belongs, Feyre seized a desperateContinue reading “A Court of Wings and Ruin, ACOTAR 3 BOOK REVIEW”
A Court of Mist and Fury, ACOTAR 2 BOOK REVIEW
Upping the ante from A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury flexes the worldbuilding and complex characters that have defined Sarah J. Maas’ works. Where the first book stood largely on its own, completing its narrative arc while keeping threads and potential for subsequent books, Book 2 in the seriesContinue reading “A Court of Mist and Fury, ACOTAR 2 BOOK REVIEW”
