• More High Fantasy Mystery in A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett

  I have been itching to read A Drop of Corruption since I got it on my shelf but diligently waited until this moment of post-PhD chaos to start. What a spectacular, immersive, and thoroughly entertaining fantasy mystery this is! Now I definitely know I will be snooping around Robert Jackson Bennett’s works to get more…

• 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…

• The Beginning of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher Novels Falls Flat

  At last, I have begun the full-length novels in the Witcher series, starting with The Blood of Elves. I admit, I am a little disappointed with the shift in energy and grit this novel has taken from the short stories The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. While the short stories held a lot of…

• The Last Wish – Andrzej Sapkowski’s Masterful Witcher Beginnings

  We all know and love Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher – whether you’ve played the video games or watched the Netflix series – and his novel series is the root of that glorious fantasy world. The Last Wish is the first published novel in the series, set before the action of Blood of Elves, and it…

• 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…

• My Infernal Devices Trilogy Review (It’s The Best YA Trilogy Ever)

  A much beloved trilogy on bookstagram and booktok, The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare is a popular must-read. Unlike newer “popular must-reads”, this trilogy had its initial run over a decade ago, making it a historic historical fantasy and a classic on the YA fantasy shelf. Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess make up…
