With the release of The Burning God on the horizon, I sat down and chatted with Rebecca Kuang (also known as R.F. Kuang) – who is the Author of The Poppy War series! I was so so excited about this opportunity to chat to one of my favourite authors. We talked about the effects of […]
Reading BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) books all year round is important for boosting these voices, gaining a different perspective and also supporting these authors. In a publishing industry that is predominantly white, buying, reading & reviewing these books signals to the publishing industry that there is demand for it as well. After all, […]
Do you ever just sit there in a daze after finishing the last pages of a book, in complete awe? That was me with The City We Became. I read a lot of books, but truth be told, not many leave a lasting impact like this one. N.K. Jemisin is renowned for the Broken Earth trilogy – […]

This review may contain spoilers for the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series. Read reviews here for Scythe and Thunderhead. It’s always satisfying and slightly terrifying delving into a series ender, especially one that I’ve loved as much as the rest of the Arc of the Scythe series. But when The Toll turned up on my doorstep, […]
A murder mystery set in futuristic Disney-like theme park with the princesses as hybrid android/humans? Count me in! I first heard of The Kingdom and knew I was going to love it because of the sci-fi twist, but after reading it, I cherished it even more – it’s such a wild and unique concept that […]
