Book Review: Evocation
January 8, 2026
Magical secret societies are fun, but the driving force of this book is the relationship that takes place between the three main characters.

Fast-paced, powerful and underneath it all somehow comedic, Everett packs a punch with every page. This is a book that has stuck with me.
This is not a manga to take seriously. But if you’re a fan of slapstick comedy, loveable idiots & bizarre character designs, this is for you.
Within this beautifully bizarre book, Lynley Edmeades fictionalises her experience of becoming a mother in bite-size vignettes.
Wells has managed to strike a great balance between detailed world building, the character-focused story, and a riveting action-packed plot.
I was charmed as hell by this vampiric Romantasy which manages to pack so much intrigue, romance and magic into such a tiny book.
It starts off witty and light then suddenly becomes a thriller while maintaining a humour that keeps it in line with dark comedy.
These two were an A+ power couple. A truly satisfying end to this bloody, dramatic duology.
The main characters are interesting narrative parallels, both of them powerless and willing to do anything to change that.
Empire of Silence follows the story of Hadrian as he embarks upon his grand space opera and ending with the destruction of a sun.
Simultaneously a story of grief, self-discovery, and simple kindnesses, this was an incredibly peaceful read, and I didn’t want it to end.
Miwa renders gunfights so vividly you can feel your teeth rattle from the recoil. There is a real sense of motion to these fights.
It was incredibly engaging as we followed the main character’s scramble to understand this new and dangerous world.
I loved diving back into this rich fantasy world. Torj and Wren are my favourite fantasy romance couple, whether they’re together or apart.
I’m not normally one for workplace romances but I had such a great time with these characters and I couldn’t help but to root for them.
More than a self-help book, don’t let the science of it put you off, because this is human history and evolution at its most simple.
Twisting through plots like a winding path, it slowly weaves itself together into a bizarre story of immortals, romance and above all, a bet.

A great series for those looking to get into manga, very accessible. Highly recommended for those looking for some fast paced ninja action.
The format was very interesting, as it consisted of the first night of conversation between our main character, & his vampiric historian captor.
