The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde

Narrated by: Elizabeth Jasicki I stumbled on this multiple times before I decided to give it a shot also since I once again forgot that the next two books were not available to me at this time, I will probably only listening to this one and may look out for the others. That may seem like…

Crooked Kingdom (The Six of Crows Duology #2) by Leigh Bardugo

I read and reviewed the previous book earlier on the blog: I picked the second instalment a while ago but was unable to read it because I realised I had not done a very good job of reading the first. I liked the first but was not blown away as I had expected and promptly…

Not So Stories by Adiwijaya Iskandar; Joseph Elliott-Coleman; Raymond Gates; Zina Hutton; Georgina Kamsika; Cassandra Khaw; Paul Krueger; Stewart Hotston; Tauriq Moosa; Jeannette Ng; Ali Nouraei; Zedeck Siew; Wayne Santos; Achala Upendran

I do not remember reading the Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling, but I must have done because I felt a hint of recognition at the tone of some of the stories. I liked the content of the foreword, but I think that also set my bar incredibly high about what I was to encounter…

Smoke & Summons by Charlie N. Holmberg

Narrated by: Scott Merriman, Lauren Ezzo I read the whole Paper Magician series by the author but only reviewed The Plastic Magician on the blog. I also found The Fifth Doll pretty entertaining, so I started this new series with some semblance of excitement. We are introduced to a world where the Almighty is someone/thing called the…

Fool’s Fate (The Tawny Man #3) by Robin Hobb

How do I introduce you to the Elderling's realm that has been left behind after they vanished from known existence? I could direct you to my older reviews of this series:       Or I could wax poetic about all you are to encounter in this world being introduced to us in parts. Neither might…

The Bands of Mourning (Mistborn #6) by Brandon Sanderson

I have read as well as reviewed a lot of the author's books on this blog. If you have the time and the inclination do check out the reviews, usually, the ones I am excited about (positively) tend to be the better-written than my other reviews, at least to me since they seem to project…

Vicious (Villains #1) by V.E. Schwab

A very happy new year to all of you reading this! I intend to start this year by reviewing all those library books I practically inhaled before I started my holidays in December. I am scheduling future posts for almost a week (if I keep up the tempo). For all practical purposes, I am counting…

Elven Winter (The Saga of the Elven #2) by Bernhard Hennen

Edwin Miles (Translator), Michael Page (Narrator)   I reviewed the previous book above. Using the word 'previous' would be a misnomer of sorts because it turned out to my surprise that the second book is not really a second book. Let me take a breath and explain further.   In the first review (if you do check…
