Tome Thursday: Burning Shadows

 

Hello everyone!

 

I have to say I've been extremely lucky in my blogging choices, because they've led me to where I am today, and where I am is that I'm on good terms with several pretty amazing authors, contemporary and fantasy alike, and that leads to some awesome collaborations.

 

This means I get fortunate enough to be sent an ARC of their works, which I can then review as soon as I end up finding the time.

 

Which I always do, and PRONTO.

 

Last year at some point, I was contacted by the lovely Hayley Reese Chow asking whether or not I'd be interested in reading her fantasy novel, Odriel's Heirs, and I mean ... fantasy, y'all. What else do you say but HECK YES?

 

I've since been waiting patiently on the sequel, and the truth of the matter is we aren't just getting a sequel, oh no, no, no.

 

There's a sequel novella AND the sequel!

 

So strap on those swords and come have a look at Burning Shadows with me, alright? Time to go kill some undead.

 

Tome Thursday: Odriel's Heirs

Hello everyone!

In this week's book review, we take a look at a tome that hasn't actually been published yet.

That's right, I'm talking about another advanced reader's copy which I was lucky enough to be gifted.

I've been going through a few at this time, I still have one I have to finish, but out of the lot this might be my favourite, probably because it's a fantasy novel, and fantasy, as you all know, is one of those things I THOROUGHLY enjoy.

So what do you do when there's a dark sorcerer/demon rising, there's another army you've got to deal with before you can even begin to contemplate how you'll kick him back to kingdom come, and you're missing the third part of your trifecta to be successful?

Well, you kind of start an epic journey. And hope beyond hope that everything's going to end well as you do it.

While you're at it, you also listen to the advice of one crusty cat, and help keep him warm when the snow starts falling.

All that, and more, is what we're going to find in Odriel's Heirs.

Talkie Tuesday: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie 

in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

Hello everyone!

This blog post is LONG overdue. 

And I mean, extremely overdue.

The thing is, sometimes when I'm typing things up and posting them on here, what happens is that I want to get the most obvious (and usually the most novel at the time) choices out into the open, which doesn't include some of those that are left in my little notebook.

So, accordingly, I reach some much longer after I should have, I suppose.

That being said, it really is a shame that I've only just gotten to this particular movie as I can well remember LOVING it when I saw it. I was hugely skeptical for a majority of reasons (all of which have to do with how the production houses handle the undead nowadays) but insanely glad when I got over that and made myself sit down, and watch it.

I'm talking about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, of course.
