Contains spoilers for the Lightbringer series through The Broken Eye, and mild spoilers for The Blood Mirror. I read through The Blood Mirror in four days, the fastest I have finished a full length novel in a long time.

The Broken Eye, Lightbringer Book 3 BOOK REVIEW
Contains spoilers for the Lightbringer series through The Blinding Knife, and mild spoilers for The Broken Eye. While the first two books in the Lightbringer series were slow to fully hook me, The Broken Eye had me invested quickly and held it for the duration.

The Eye of the World, The Wheel of Time Book 1 BOOK REVIEW
The Wheel of Time is a cornerstone of the modern fantasy genre. Many readers love them, while some have never seen the significance or attraction of the monumental series, despite it’s renown. It cannot be denied that the books served as a huge step within the genre, their influence seen in countless books and asContinue reading “The Eye of the World, The Wheel of Time Book 1 BOOK REVIEW”
The Slow Regard of Silent Things BOOK REVIEW
The Slow Regard of Silent Things is not your typical book, but that is no reason not to read it. It doesn’t follow a traditional narrative arc, it doesn’t have “conflict,” and doesn’t do most things that a typical story “should.” It’s a story about a slightly broken girl living her own way in aContinue reading “The Slow Regard of Silent Things BOOK REVIEW”

Edgedancer BOOK REVIEW
In a short story set within the fantasy epic of Brandon Sanderon’s world, Edgedancer reminds us of the significance of even small characters’ stories, that no beginning is too unimportant, that no character is unworthy of happiness or incapable of greatness.

A World through Sapphire Eyes BOOK REVIEW
I picked up A World through Sapphire Eyes shortly after I met Marie Mackay through social media and discovering our mutual love of books, writing, and fantasy. It was at the beginning of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for you other writers out there), and as we shared updates about our works in progress, sheContinue reading “A World through Sapphire Eyes BOOK REVIEW”
Rhythm of War, The Stormlight Archive Book 4 BOOK REVIEW
Contains mild spoilers for Rhythm of War and previous Stormlight Archive books. As we all found ourselves requisitioned away to some degree during 2020, our means of enjoyment and entertainment were drastically challenged.
