Book Review: Jhereg by Steven Brust
Posted on May 31, 2013 Leave a Comment
Jhereg by Steven Brust Guess this is what you’d call an oldie but a goodie. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of Steven Brust until a few weeks ago, but he was recommended to me by a gaming friend of mine, and then another good friend jumped into the Twitter conversation to second the recommendation. […]

Heir of Novron by Michael J. Sullivan This is where keeping track of my books on Goodreads comes in handy. To narrow down my options for Best Book I’ve Read This Year, I went straight to my 5-star reads. Still, 2013 isn’t even half done yet, and according to my stats I’ve already racked […]

Posted on May 29, 2013 Leave a Comment
The much hyped new X-Men #1 is out today! Be sure to grab a copy! No, we’re not going to review it just yet because frankly, while the art was fantastic and we’re loving seeing our favourite ladies doing their thang, the story isn’t quite there yet. No matter, we’ll definitely be back for the […]

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey Having really enjoyed Rick Yancey’s The Monstrumologist, I became interested in checking out the author’s other works and decided to pick up his new young adult book The 5th Wave. The book tells the story of an alien invasion, happening over a period of time in a series of planned […]

Book Review: The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson Huge fan of Brandon Sanderson here, which is why I was all over this book even though I knew it would take place outside of his Cosmere universe and be a little different from his usual epics. I admit I was mostly curious as to what reading a young adult […]

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin This was actually my favourite book of 2012, but after reading the ebook, I had to have it (and all of N.K. Jemisin’s books) on my bookshelf. When it arrived early in 2013, I intended only to skim through to dog ear and highlight all the moments and […]
Book Review: City of Dragons by Robin Hobb

City of Dragons by Robin Hobb This is the third book of Robin Hobb’s Rain Wild Chronicles series and unfortunately also my least favorite installment so far. That’s not to say I didn’t like it, but I’m also sensing a definite slowdown compared to the first couple of novels (see my review of Dragon Keeper and […]
