Book Review: John Dies at the End
A fun, deeply bizarre, gory read. This wild ride will keep you guessing and giggling the whole way through – I loved it!
A fun, deeply bizarre, gory read. This wild ride will keep you guessing and giggling the whole way through – I loved it!
It’s a really unique take on modern witches and how today’s societal values would impact a secret society of witches and their covens
‘Bitterthorn’ is a dream-like book that feels like it belongs alongside the classic novels and fairy tales of old.
The setting is enjoyable, the plot is downright wild and I am in love with some of the concepts that Sanderson throws at the wall.
Beautifully vivid, with hilarious twists on tried-and-true tropes, this collab between fantasy giants does not disappoint
This book skips the exposition, leaving you to ponder the implications of its foundations as it leaps into the unknown.
This novel will delight enthusiasts of eerie narratives, offering a fresh and captivating twist on the classic haunted house trope.
Brimming with sci-fi goodness, it’s a novel positively packed with interesting ideas and thought provoking characters
The slow build, the beautiful gut-wrenching ending, and the profound exploration of love and sacrifice make this novel an absolute must-read.
Each novella is as distinct and self-contained as the last, and follows our core group through a wonderful and vivid world.
A Psalm for the Wild Built is a perfect book for those dwelling on purpose and identity. A beautiful comfort sci-fi read…
A brilliant tale of conflicting worldviews, unknowable entities, human life and death, and the importance of both compassion and curiosity
Lyrical prose, flawed but loveable characters and an ominous villain, all tucked within a mystical fantasy world.
Klune does a great job of crafting his characters. They are warm and inviting, and I was sad to let them go at the end.
Playful in its use of pronouns and gender expression, the story weaves around the questions of who we are, and who we want to be.
One of my favourite fantasy books (and series) in a long time, ACOTAR combines a phenomenal story with masterful characterisation.
This is a creative and action-packed current-day sci-fi about a shady corporation manifesting and weaponising nostalgia.
I loved my time with this series, and would highly encourage anyone to try it out. There are so many incredible characters!
With its quick and effective prose, it draws you quickly into the Empire of the Wolf and takes you under the surface of its cohesive facade.
An invigorating story through the tried and true ‘Robots have taken over the earth!’ lens with a refreshing, cozy feel to it
