Below is a list of 20 fantasy books releasing in 2022 that I hope to read (is that ambitious?). This list just covers books publishing through July 2022; I’ll be back in a few months with the second half of the year. (Most of the […]
The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne – Good, but not great
I was really excited for The Shadow of the Gods because I wasn’t impressed with Malice and was really curious to see how John Gwynne has changed as a writer since his debut novel. At the beginning, I was immediately more impressed. The writing was […]
Far off 2022 releases to keep an eye on – adult SFF edition
I already published a list of 2022 young adult fantasy books to watch, now here’s the adult SFF list! It’s mostly fantasy, with a sci-fi thrown in here and there. Most of these books don’t have covers, full release dates, or full synopsis yet. But […]
Far off 2022 releases to keep an eye on – YA fantasy edition
Most of these books don’t have covers or exact release dates yet, other than “sometime in 2022”. But this is a list of young adult fantasy books I’ve found — mostly via their deal announcements — and will be tracking through to their release! A […]

All I’ve been hearing about lately is The Faithful and the Fallen. Everyone says this series is amazing, one of the best, etc. Well I guess I’m the odd one out because wow that was boring! Malice is 634 pages, and yet nothing of note […]
The pros and cons of requesting advanced reading copies
I just checked my email, and if that’s correct, the last advanced reading copy (ARC) I requested and was approved for was in December 2017 (The Smoke Thieves by Sally Green). It’s obviously been years since then, but I’ve been getting the itch to start […]
The Poison Prince (Hostage of Empire, #2) by S. C. Emmett
The Throne of the Five Winds was one of my top reads so far this year, so naturally I had high hopes for the sequel. Luckily I wasn’t disappointed! The Poison Prince continued everything I loved from the first book. This series nails court intrigue. […]

My 8 five-star reads of 2021 so far
For the most part 2021 has been filled with some pretty awesome books. So far I’ve finished 21 books, and didn’t finish 10 books. Of those 21 finished books, 8 of them were five star reads. I have a lot of books to cover, so […]
6 fantasy series I’m hoping to start in 2021
Lately I’ve been reading more and more adult fantasy instead of YA, and as a result, there are quite a few older series on my to-read list. The six I’ve listed below are really just a small taste! First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie The […]
