Time to fly away with Wings by Terry Pratchett. This book was the conclusion to the truly odd Bromeliad Trilogy. I'm still not certain what I think about the series as a whole, but if you like stories about tiny people stealing vehicles and having existential crises, this will deliver! ...

Gather around, thieves and beggars, for The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant! I have never read Lés Miserables nor seen any of the adaptions of the story, but maybe that's exactly why I enjoyed this reimagining so much. I find that having preconceived ideas about how the characters should ...

We're back in MTG territory with War of the Spark: Forsaken by Greg Weisman. This was the follow-up to War of the Spark: Ravnica, which I read in my quest to learn more about the Magic: The Gathering universe after I joined a Ravnica-themed Dungeons & Dragons group. This book mainly focuses ...

Next up is Truckers by Terry Pratchett. This is about garden gnomes from space trying to hijack a lorry. No, really. That’s what the book’s about. As much as I adore the late sir Terry Pratchett, I can't help thinking that he sometimes smoked some questionable stuff while writing... Truckers ...

Let's get geeky with Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights! This is a collection of short stories from the Dragon Age universe by several different authors. So many, in fact, that I'll just list them at the end of the post, instead of at the top like usual. As regular readers will ...

I'll continue my marathon-blogging with Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. This was the second book in the Six of Crows Duology, and it might just have contained even more devious plots and unexpected twists. I have come to really love fantasy books about criminal underworlds, where the characters are not ...
