I guessed it! I guessed the big twist right near the beginning of book 2, and RJ managed to throw enough doubt on that guess that I’d reconsidered by the end of book 3 and assumed I was just seeing villains in every shadow! I hate reviewing third books in a series. I find it … Read more Review Blog – King of Assassins (The Wounded Kingdom #3) by R.J. Barker

The most common criticism I have seen … Read more The Future of Never Die

Yes, I’m using the french covers in these reviews because they are so fucking gorgeous! Book 2 of The Wounded Kingdom trilogy, Girton Needs a Slap – no, look, I’m allowed to call it that.

I, myself, am releasing four books this year, because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment. But anyways, on to the January list! If you would like to be kept up … Read more Self Published Fantasy Releases – January 2020
A ‘who dunnit’ in reverse. I’m gonna start this review by pointing out the main character in Age of Assassins is a young lad by the name of Girton… and for some reason my crazy brain says “hears a who” after every single time I read that name. This has nothing to do with the … Read more Review Blog – Age of Asssassins by RJ Barker

Beautiful, haunting, damning. Grimdark poetry. You’ll have to bear with me, my computer has crashed and I’m writing this review on my phone. Yes, I could wait until my PC is up and running again, but that could take years and I’ve already been sitting on this review for a few days while I figured … Read more Review Blog – Seraphina’s Lament by Sarah Chorn
