I Tweet that I'll soon be reading The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It isn't long before I receive the following replies: I recommend a murder board on the fridge and reading it in as few sittings as possible before you forget all the things It's amazing. Also, my mum created a spreadsheet. Just sayin I'm now… Continue reading Book Review: The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

Book Review: Blood of Assassins by RJ Barker
Oh Girton... I feel I can now fully appreciate that hashtag. For those of you who have stumbled into this review and aren't aware, Blood of Assassins is RJ Barker's tortuous (in a good way) follow-up to his debut Age of Assassins (are you picking up the theme?) The assassin Girton Club-Foot and his master have returned to… Continue reading Book Review: Blood of Assassins by RJ Barker
Book Review: Age of Assassins by RJ Barker
Where to begin?? Have you heard of Age of Assassins? Surely you have, of Girton Club-Foot? You've heard of the antlers, yes? No? What rock have you been living under since last year? The same one I was instead of reading it, I presume... Girton Club-Foot, apprentice to the land's best assassin, still has much to learn… Continue reading Book Review: Age of Assassins by RJ Barker

Book Review: Darksoul by Anna Stephens
After falling madly deeply in love with Godblind earlier this year, Darksoul was certainly my most anticipated book for 2018. I can categorically state: it did not let me down. Darksoul by Anna Stephens Publisher: HarperVoyager Publication date: 23rd August 2018… Continue reading Book Review: Darksoul by Anna Stephens
Book Review: Under The Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng
I'm going to do something a bit different this time around. I've decided I'm not going to appoint a star rating to this book, as I can't say I particularly enjoyed it, but I want to review and discuss why I feel it didn't work for me. Under The Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng Publisher:… Continue reading Book Review: Under The Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng
Book Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
I took the boys down the beach because quite frankly they earned it ok? Where to begin with Nicholas Eames' Gemmell Award Nominated debut novel Kings of the Wyld? It stormed into the book community last year and everyone's been raving about it; I've been desperate to read it whilst simultaneously worrying it won't live up to… Continue reading Book Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
Book Review: Red Sister by Mark Lawrence
I am currently in the throes of book-hangover; it hasn't been twenty-four hours yet* and I miss the characters desperately. I am holding off picking up Grey Sister until I write this review. It's agony. Let's get on with it. Nona has a past which is apt to wriggle away under scrutiny. She ends up at… Continue reading Book Review: Red Sister by Mark Lawrence
Book Review: The Bitter Twins by Jen Williams
The Bitter Twins, released tomorrow but gratefully received from Netgalley, is the second book in Jen Williams' Winnowing Flame Trilogy, following on from The Ninth Rain (find my review here). The Jure'lia have returned, but Ebora is not as it once was, and though The Ninth Rain has fallen, the war beasts have hatched too early… Continue reading Book Review: The Bitter Twins by Jen Williams
Book Review: The Court of Broken Knives by Anna Smith Spark
The old songs, the laments for dead heroes. We drink and fight and kill and die. I like to try and give a brief, spoiler free synopsis at the start of my reviews; to give you potential readers an idea if this is the kind of story you'd like. But I don't think I'm capable… Continue reading Book Review: The Court of Broken Knives by Anna Smith Spark
