Thank you to The Write Reads and the publisher for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review as part of the blog tour. The cover for Fireborn by Aisling Fowler was enough to sell me this book. It’s gorgeous! Many of the blog tour participants got a physical copy but since Read More

Book Tour: The Meeting Point by Olivia Lara
Thanks to The Write Reads and the publisher for a free copy in exchange for an honest review as part of the blog tour. It only took two seconds to convince me to sign up for the tour for The Meeting Point by Olivia Lara but I forgot I had signed up not long after. Read More
Book Tour: Kings and Daemons by Marcus Lee
Thank you to The Write Reads for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review by taking part in the blog tour. Unfortunately, I’ve been ill and not be able to read as much as I wanted, so I’m doing a first impression instead of a review. A full review might come later. Read More
Review: The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk
I read The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk as part of the Kobo Plus program. It’s nice to see traditionally published books also being included in the program, and I really wanted to read this one. Fantasy romance stories with regency elements are my jam! (Have I mentioned Stephanie Burgis lately? She writes more Read More
Review: Rosewater by Tade Thompson
I’ve waited way too long before reading this but when one of the bookclubs on r/fantasy selected Rosewater by Tade Thompson as the book of the month, I knew I had to take part. Mostly to get my hard mode bingo square for a book club read. If not, I would’ve read it for a Read More
Review: Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
I added Black Water Sister by Zen Cho immediately to my TBR once she announced it on her Twitter. The blurb blew me away and gave me all the feels. While I might not be the daughter of immigrant parents from Malaysia, I am the daughter of a man who escaped the blazing Indonesian weather. Read More
Book Tour: Instructions For Dancing – Nicola Yoon
Thank you to The Write Reads and the publisher Penguin for the arc.

Review: Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard
Fireheart Tiger is Aliette de Bodard’s latest novella. It’s another fantasy story with a Vietnamese inspired world, this time, pre-colonial. It’s short, bittersweet, and left me wanting more. Thanh has a complicated history and it’s coming back to haunt her in various ways. The fire and seduction complicate the political situation between her country and Read More
Book Tour: Shards of Earth – Adrian Tchaikovsky
Thanks to The Write Reads and the publisher Tor UK for an ARC of the book. Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky is the first installment in his new science-fiction series, The Final Architects. This is the first book by Adrian Tchaikovsky I’ve read, although I do have one of his fantasy books sitting on Read More
Review: Wicked As You Wish by Rin Chupeco
I’ll be honest, I read Wicked As You Wish last summer, nearly a year ago. But I couldn’t not write a review, right? I think Rin Chupeco needs more recognition, and this is the first book I’m reviewing of her, The Bone Witch patiently waiting for when I have a little more time. Still, without Read More
