I love the blend of witches and alternate dimensions in this series, but Firewalker wasn’t as good as the first book. A few scenes had me suspending my disbelief and the whole book lacked emotional connection. Connecting to the main character is a major part of enjoying a book, and even in the second book, I still […]
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve slowed down on my blogging schedule and I’ve been thinking a lot about where I want to take Happy Indulgence. I haven’t been the best with keeping up with things lately, particularly since I’m house hunting, book tubing and working late, so I think it’s time to finally […]
Magnus Chase is one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. So many scenes made me laugh out loud, from the fashionable dwarf Blitzen, to the TV addicted Thor, to the scary giant squirrel and the most hilarious talking sword in existence. I’ve only ever encountered one other talking sword before, but Jack is hilarious, with a […]
I can’t believe another month has gone by and we’re just around the corner from Christmas! Turns out I was a bit ambitious during September, as I only read 4 books last month. My fantasy binge did keep up though and I read some fantastic new favourites! The only disappointing read was Armada, and even that […]
Ink and Bone is about the love of books, and what happens when books get hoarded for their knowledge. In an alternate history where The Great Library of Alexandria exists, all the books in the world are stored and archived at libraries. As fellow book lovers, what could possibly be wrong with a world where books are […]

Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. While Ready Player One successfully made gaming and 80’s pop culture references accessible […]
Indulgence Insider is our version of Stacking the Shelves, Bought, Borrowed & Bagged and the Sunday Post, bringing you this week’s haul, bookish news and discussion posts from around the blogosphere! It’s been another pretty busy week at work where I’ve been working late most nights and getting home around 7pm. It’s so tiring and I […]
Blending historical fiction with an engaging YA fantasy, Legacy of Kings takes a look at Alexander the Great during his teenage years before his rise to power. And what a rich and fascinating world it was, bringing to life a period in history where Greek royalty practiced the occult, where an army was run by a 16 […]
Uprooted was a truly magical and enchanting experience that combined magic, a wonderful fairy tale world and blurred lines between good and evil. It starts off as a Beauty and the Beast retelling, introducing us to Dragon (who’s actually a Wizard) who comes to a village every 10 years and takes a girl back to […]
