A quick, charming, and fun installment that will leave you eager for the next full adventure. Perfect for when you need a little taste of werewolves, vampires, sirens, and snarky heroics.

...a fine pick for a cozy filler read, especially if you don’t mind your fantasy leaning more toward fluff than depth.

The latest #SPFBO review:

A mix of mystery, adventure, and heart, The Lost War brings classic quest fantasy to life with warmth, humour, and a twist that still stuns on reread.

Today's review:

A sharp, magic-tinged fantasy with a strong opening, a welcome lack of romance, and a prickly protagonist you can’t help but root for.

A fierce and clever reimagining of history, full of action, heart, and a heroine you won’t forget. I’m already reaching for the sequel.

Fast, fun, and flawed, with great characters, smooth prose, and one unforgettable blind POV. The ending may have cheated me of closure, but I was still hooked, entertained, and left eager for more.

Sorry for the radio silence, I was on 2 conventions on 2 weekends without a break in between, so late to bed and up early for 11 days in a row.

All the books, all the authors, all the drinks, so many new & old friends!

I shall try to catch up with the blog posts I haven't posted on here tomorrow!

And another one!

The Ashen Orb Bounty is a great pick if you’re after a quick, entertaining, and familiar-feeling fantasy adventure with strong “D&D campaign” energy.

The latest #SPFBO review:

This brutal, sea-sprayed tale of pirates, betrayal, and uneasy alliances showcases the grit and moral ambiguity that have become Hayes’ trademark.

One for the "don't judge a book by its cover" pile:

If you’re interested in a thoughtful exploration of societal structures, privilege, and revolution, seen through the eyes of one family living through the upheaval...

This was like two books in one and I felt pretty strongly about each half in different ways.

Ridicuolisly excited to reveal this:

A thief left for dead. A country on the edge. Revenge, faith, and blood in the fens and beyond. A Good Day to Die by @grmatthews.bsky.social releases 27 November. See if Rawlins still has a soul left to lose, in this new Six Kingdoms book.

... a dark, muddy, and deeply human military fantasy that manages to be both brutal and heartwarming. It is a story about survival, loyalty, and the people who keep fighting when everything around them is falling apart.

A YA urban fantasy that feels both familiar and fresh — fast-paced, diverse, and genuinely fun to read. Smartly written with heart, humour, and kickass characters. A hidden gem for fans of lighter dark fantasy.

A dark and emotional fantasy that deserves far more attention. Brutal, intense, and surprisingly heartfelt, it dives deep into sibling bonds, moral greys, and the price of survival. An under-the-radar gem.

Gritty, loud, and unapologetic, The Grey Bastards by Jonathan French feels like dust, sweat, and blood on the wind. Brutal, funny, and full of heart beneath the grime. See what we thought after riding back into the Lot Lands.

Larger than life action, sarcasm and banter, compelling characters, deepening world building, and a loyal vampire-dog who steals the show.

The dynamics between the gods, the cult’s unintended growth, and Vanja’s ever-evolving relationship with power and consequence make Painted Devils a worthwhile read...
