The Last Smile in Sunder City
Luke Arnold
The Fetch Phillips Archive #1
Orbit
352 pages
3/5
I’m not someone who knows a great deal about urban fantasy but the ones I’ve read, I’ve found it to be interesting. The Last Smile in Sunder City continues that trend.

The House of Always
Jenn Lyons
A Chorus of Dragons #4
Tor
501 pages
4/5
Spoiler: As much as I liked it, this book was a bit of a filler story.

The Coward
Stephen Aryan
Quest for Heroes #1
Angry Robot
4/5
Copy received from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
The Coward is the first book in a new series and the premise really intrigued me. Who doesn’t love a good deconstruction of a well worn trope?
Priest of Gallows
Peter McLean
War for the Rose Throne #3
Jo Fletcher Books
384 pages

M. L. Wang
A Theonite War Story
3.5/5

Best Served Cold
Joe Abercrombie
Gollancz
534 pages
4/5
I love The First Law trilogy. It’s dark but it has some unforgettably awesome characters that I just could not get enough of.
None of them appear in this book but it is still an enjoyable read, nevertheless.

The Torch That Ignites the Stars
Andrew Rowe
Arcane Ascension #3
513 pages
3.5/5
This book was pure filler and I normally hate that.
So why did I enjoy it so much?

Another month done and the only word I can think of to summarise my reading month is average.
THE HOBBLEIT
