“And yes, I’m aware that “this isn’t how it looks” is just about the oldest cliché in the book. I’m aware that you have a trail of bodies and the only that connects all of them is me. I’m aware of Occam’s razor.” - Extremity, Nicholas Binge

I've just finished reading this fantastic murder mystery full of magic and intrigue. The Scour by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social , a prequel novella to The Justice of Kings featuring Sir Konrad Vonvalt.
'The Scour' in gold, on black-covered novella. A bollock dagger and a rondel dagger are crossed over it.

A huge thanks to @ajcalvin.bsky.social for joining The Four Beardsmen to chat about her books including the recently released sci fi / space opera Wraith and the Revolution.

As usual the chat went down a few wormholes but you wouldn’t expect anything else right?

Remember, it's only anime if it's from Japan.

Otherwise, it's sparkling cartoons.

Just finished Fate’s Bane by C. L. Clark and I was not prepared for the whole gamut of human emotion I would go through with the ending. My poor, poor heart. I don’t know if I am happy or sad. It’s just such a beautiful, beautiful tale 🔥🔥🔥🔥

New book review!

With a mix of gladiator-style combat, song-based magic, and a centuries-old feud between "unkillable" adversaries, Violence & Vigilance by David T List was a really fun read.

Reading genre fiction has helped my capacity for critical thinking and empathy. Different ideas and perspectives are vital to understanding the world and people around us.

Read more, think more, understand more. Open mindedness, the willingness to change ones mind or admit you might be wrong is ok.

“Why don’t you just give up and die, old man?” the saffron soldier asked, though it felt more of a wish than a question.

“Your whole army couldn’t kill me, you shit-sucking wretch,” Kersad said. “What makes you think you can?”

A 50 page book with a 500 page emotional gut punch; this is skill.
