• Finally Getting Into The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

  The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin is one of those books that I have seen across bookish social media, but in an organic, intentional way. There is a lot of love for The Broken Earth series and for N. K. Jemisin as a writer, and I can totally see why. I’m surprised I hadn’t…

• Dangerous Book Recs

  These book recs are for those wanting a little more thrill to their scary, a little more suspense to their spooky, and a lot more of a fear factor in their read. Unlike Witchy Book Recs and Haunting Book Recs, I feel this category has a lot more variety and possibility. From fantasy to historical…

• 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…

• High Fantasy Mastery in Scott Lynch’s Red Seas Under Red Skies

  Another Scott Lynch read under my belt with Red Seas Under Red Skies, though it wasn’t so easily accomplished as The Lies of Locke Lamora. That is through no fault of the writing or plot and purely my time management and multiple focuses tearing attention away from my reading. What a read Red Seas Under…

• The Lies of Locke Lamora is High Fantasy Gold

  Scott Lynch’s Gentleman Bastard Sequence is vivid, gripping and immersive, making for an incredibly detailed and compelling world. The Lies of Locke Lamora, the first in the trilogy, features an intriguing plot, an interesting and different narrative style, and characters that are complex and brimming with personality.
