The Empire’s Ruin
Brian Staveley
Ashes of the Unhewn Throne #1
Tor
752 pages
4/5
Copy received from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
At one point the word ‘ziggurat’ was used multiple times in one chapter and every time I thought to myself ‘lickety split’. Yes, I may have watched Red Dwarf a few too many times.

2/5
Oh My God this book was so boring. I mean, really, really, really boring.

The Shadow of the Gods
John Gwynne
The Bloodsworn Saga #1
496 pages
5/5
Copy received from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
Release Date: 6th May 2021
John Gwynne is one of those authors that I will automatically read because his books are just that good and The Shadow of the Gods is no different.

New Beginnings at the Birdie and Bramble
Alison Craig
The Birdie and Bramble #1
Orion
291 pages
3.5/5
Every one of these romance books I read are always set in a beautiful picturesque place, usually in the countryside or by the sea. You never read one set on a council estate. I guess these authors know their audiences too well, ha ha.

The Library of the Unwritten
A. J. Hackwith
Hell’s Library #1
Titan Books
440 pages
3/5

It wasn’t quite what I was expecting.

On the Shoulders of Titans
Andrew Rowe
Arcane Ascension #2
738 pages
4/5
On the Shoulders of Titans picks up directly from the end of Sufficiently Advanced Magic and follows Corin and his friends to the end of their first year of schooling. Along the way there’s plenty of action and fighting to keep everyone busy which begs the question:
Where do they find the time to actually attend classes?

Jade City

The Green Bone Saga #1
Orbit
569 pages
4/5
I’ve been looking at Jade City for a while but never actually got around to picking up a copy.
God bless Kindle Deals.
March has felt like such a weird month, probably because I’ve been so busy with work and uni. I just don’t feel like I’ve had any time to myself, even though I’ve read loads. Let’s hope April is a bit more settled.
