My R.F. Kuang The Poppy War Trilogy Review
This trilogy review has been a long time coming, considering I read these books years ago and then finally did my first reread a little under a month ago. Now, after letting it settle in, I can write to my heart’s content about how awesome, emotive, and gripping this trilogy is. The Poppy War Trilogy…

R.F. Kuang’s The Burning God Ripped My Heart Out
This militaristic political fantasy has run laps over my heart, giving it such pleasure with the rich description and detail of the story world, characters, and action, while also pummelling it to pieces because of said description, characters, and action. The Burning God is the third tier and the cherry on the top of the…

More Fantasy Short Stories in Andrzej Sapkowski’s Sword of Destiny
Another day, another Witcher novel to immerse myself in. Sword of Destiny is another short story collection within Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher world set at the eve of the main overarching story plot, Blood of Elves.

The Gentleman Bastard Sequence – The Best Adult Fantasy Series To Date
I have been reading The Gentleman Bastard Sequence by Scott Lynch over the last six months, and I honestly feel like my perception of fantasy and writing has changed thanks to his works. From the filthy Camorr origins in The Lies of Locke Lamora, to the deadly swashbuckling adventures of Red Seas Under Red Skies,…

Scott Lynch’s The Republic of Thieves – The Finale You’ve Been Waiting For
This review has been a long time coming. I made my first The Republic of Thieves post in October 2024, stating what I hoped to see in the book when I finally got to reading and completing it. Well, almost three and a half months later I have done it. I have read Scott Lynch’s…

I DNFed The Dragon Republic Three Times But I Still Love It
I first time I read R.F. Kuang’s The Dragon Republic, I DNFed it three times. When I then had the time to read it, I fell in love with it. Now, having reread it without a DNF, my thoughts and feelings about the book have solidified. In short, it is intimidating, incredible, and leaves a…
