Another month, another wrap up. I can’t think of anything new or original to write in this intro so that’s pretty much what you’re getting.
Also, no posts next week because I’m going to be in Toronto. Bye, I’m off to pack. Oh, who am I kidding, I packed days ago.

Reading Challenge Update
It’s now three quarters of the way through the year so it’s time for another update on one of my reading challenges. I’m still on track but I’m starting to have to read some of the prompts that I’m not really looking forward to.
King of Ashes
Raymond E. Feist
The Firemane Saga #1
Harper Voyager
494 pages
3.5/5
I’ve only read the beginnings of Feist’s Riftwar series (something that I need to rectify since I ended up enjoying it), but I needed a book starting with K for my A-Z library challenge and this is completely unconnected to that series so I thought I would give it a bash.

Bloodchild
Anna Stephens
Godblind #3
Harper Voyager
512 pages
5/5
Copy received from Netgalley, all opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed Godblind. I loved Darksoul so Bloodchild had a lot to live up to as the conclusion to this trilogy.
Spoiler. It does.
The Bone Ships
R.J. Barker
The Tide Child #1
Orbit
Release Date: 26th September 2019
4/5

I went about reading this books all wrong. Because I requested it long before it was due to go out, I thought I would read a chapter a day so by the time I’d finished it I could just write the review and post it. Twenty days in and I realised that was a massive mistake. I just wasn’t getting the rhythm of the story by doing it that way so I wasn’t enjoying it because it was taking so long. That was a massive mistake on my part and when I just gave up and read it like I normally read books I started to get into it a lot more than I previously had.

Alcest have a new album out, Spiritual Instinct, on the 25th October and after hearing the song Protection I am insanely excited for it.
Darkdawn
Jay Kristoff
Nevernight #3
Harper Voyager
478 pages
5/5
“It has footnotes? What kind of wanker writes a novel with footnotes?”
I love that Jay Kristoff has a sense of humour and takes the piss out of himself.
Magebane
Stephen Aryan
Age of Dread #3
Orbit
491 pages
4/5
And here we are again at the end of another series. Another review where I can barely say anything about the plot because it’ll spoil the previous five books. Prepare for some waffling.

This week, we’re doing things a little differently and picking songs from five bands that I have been in my life for so long that I can’t remember the first time I even heard them.
