This was a fun book. Susan is headed to London for art school after turning 18 in the late 80’s. And while she’s really looking forward to art school, she’s also glad to be going, because it may just mean she can finally find her father. What happens instead is she gets tangled up with […]
The Left-Handed Booksellers of London – Garth Nix Read More »
This book was recommended in a thread I’d stumbled across where someone wanted some feel good fantasy reading. The book happened to be available on Kindle Unlimited, so I checked it out. The subtitle is “A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes”, and it really is that. Viv is an Orc, and has been

I’m going to admit, I’m a little annoyed. I’m running out the clock on my Kindle Unlimited really cheap subscription (I am actually one of those people that’ll keep it to the introductory timeframe and not renew again until another deal comes along). So I figured I’d finish out the Mage Errant series – five
The Siege of Skyhold – John Bierce Read More »
Our mage student friends are journeying with their teachers Alustin and Artur to find the lost capital of the old Ithonian Empire.

In the second book of this series, we’re out of the school of Skyhold, and journeying into the desert, in a sandship. First destination – the city of Theras Tel, ruled by a dragon who’s also one of the most powerful storm mages in the world. Where the first book is a pretty standard school

Taryn has a new patroness for her digs in Beccia’s ancient Elven ruins. Said patroness is dead set on finding something specific, and naturally, it turns out to be no good for Taryn. Still enjoying this series – it’s a weirdly anachronistic fantasy world (I’ve never seen a fantasy character that dwells so much on

Ingrid is now looking after her younger siblings, with her parents dead, and her brother off to the army to help support them. The back story to why she’s in the woods on the morning that the beast that’s been raiding the King’s Hall comes through, and she’s the one that manages to kill it,
The Legendary Inge – Kate Stradling Read More »
Kazi grew up on the streets as a thief – one of the very best. Good enough that she eventually caught the attention of the queen, who made her one of the Rahtan – her elite guards. Now, Kazi and some of the other Rahtan have been sent out of the kingdom to track one
Dance of Thieves – Mary E. Pearson Read More »
I really enjoyed the end of this series. Definitely one of the best free series I’ve ever read. (The first book was completely free, but I got the others through Kindle Unlimited.) Hetta and Wyn are under a deadline – she’s pregnant, and they need the High King’s blessing to marry. But no one’s seen
