Despite having read numerous urban fantasy series, I still consider the Dresden Files as the benchmark for what good urban fantasy looks like. So when I was done with the books that were released I was left with this void I had to fill. The Iron Druid Chronicles is one such series that despite the …

Note: These copies of Rocky Start, Very Nice Funerals, and The Honey Pot Plot were provided by NetGalley. The Rocky Start series by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer consists of three books that paint one cohesive picture. That picture centered around this out of the way town of Rocky Start and it's inhabitants. Max Reddy …

I believe I can thank booktube for this recommendation. The absurdity of the title and my current obsession with most things considered cosy fantasy and litrpg, made this one for the TBR list. Also being a Terry Pratchett fan, any form of comic-fantasy is something I find myself naturally gravitating to. Book 1 - Orconomics …

Left: Solo Leveling Light Novel, Right: Solo Leveling manhwa Vol.1 TL;DR - Clichéd story with mediocre writing further hamstrung by an over-powered MC. You'd be better off watching the anime. I started this writing this review well over a year ago, and in the interim my feelings towards this series hasn't changed much. Solo Leveling …
I’ve been waiting a long time to write a review for this series and now that I’m sitting here, all I can think of is the fact that I would definitely read this series again. That in itself is quite an achievement for a series of 12 books. How often will a reader actually go …
This series is a follow-up to the previous Thrawn trilogy. The events take place 10 years after the events of the last book. You can find a review of the previous trilogy here. TL;DR review: A fitting follow-up to an already amazing trlogy. Action packed, suspenseful, filled with espionage and multiple viewpoints that will have …

The last anime I watched was Spy x Family and I only picked that up because I already loved the manga so I was aware what it was about. I went into Demon Slayer with no prior knowledge other than it was quite popular; and apparently for good reason. Demon Slayer occurs in a world …

This is a litRPG trilogy written by Cameron Milan. I will review the series as a whole as compared to individual books, not for any other reason other than most litRPG books follow a similar formula and there isn't too much to say that would be different without spoiling the series. TL;DR review: Decent premise …

In a world where magic and gods used to roam the land, how does a world move forward when these divinities, and their miracles, no longer exist; or do they? The Divine Cities trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett dives into this vast world, with each book told from a different character’s viewpoint, and each at …

The Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn is widely considered the series that launched the entire Star Wars expanded universe of novels, and with good reason. The events of this trilogy begin to take place about 5 years after events of Return of the Jedi, and we get to meet Grand Admiral Thrawn. I went into …

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a trilogy that at first glance gave me a who-dunnit vibe. I couldn't be more wrong. These books are teen romance with a dash of mystery to them. Would have preferred it the other way around but oh well. Below I've reviewed each book after reading them …

All-Star Superman is a 12 issue series from the famous Grant Morrison and Frant Quitely. Having been a fan of Grant Morrison's Batman run I was excited to pick this up. This is probably the first standalone Superman comic I’ve read but in spite of that it seems unlikely that any other could surpass this …
Once again we’re back in the world of Jack West Jr. Couldn’t wait to pick up these books after the first three. The seventh and final book of the series released in October of last year. The fourth book took some time in coming since it was released almost 7 years after book 3. The …

Jack West Jr. #2 - The Six Sacred Stones This is the follow up book to the Seven Deadly Wonders by Matthew Reilly. While this potentially could be read on its own, there are quite a few references to events that happened in the previous book. In fact the events of this book are a …

This duology written by Marie Lu takes places in a dystopian future very similar to that seen in Ready Player One. Here as well we have the general populace hooked onto the use of technology that allows them to roam a virtual world. In this series this virtual space is mainly used for Warcross, a …
