This was absolutely thrilling - 100% fun in all the ways you can expect from Matthew Reilly. I had been so curious as to whether this would live up to his usual standards, seeing as it is quite different to his norm. But this was completely addictive and totally unputdownable, just like all his other stuff.
A fabulous follow up to The Thursday Murder Club! I once again listened to the audio version narrated by Lesley Manville, and I can't recommend it enough. The narration is fantastic and the plot is just as good as the first time around.
So the hype was 100% true and this is probably the best thing you're going to read for a long, long time. To say I'm obsessed would definitely be an understatement.
A Storm of Swords is such a step-up in wow-factor from book two. And this is only part one - I can't wait to read part two.
This surely is peak cosy read. I devoured this within a few reading sessions and loved every minute of it. Completely innocent (well, almost) and definitely funny, this is a fun witchy read to add to your TBR.
This was every bit as phenomenal as I had anticipated. Since reading Harper's Wolf Den trilogy, I've been so excited for what she would write next – and this certainly didn't disappoint. This is a beautifully woven reimagining of the Boudicca story/history, but told from one of her daughter's perspectives: Solina.
A great conclusion to the first trilogy! This series covers so much time and it was great having this last book feature the next generation. I thought I'd be sad to not have Skan & Drake full front and centre, but I still really enjoyed all the perspectives in this instalment.
This was everything and more that I hoped it would be. Being my first (!) Mercedes Lackey book, I was apprehensive that this wouldn't live up to my ever-increasingly high expectations, but it so did. And here I am, 100% ready to commit to the whole Valdemar universe.
You might not think that a humongous book about the evolution of mammals could be your favourite read of the year so far, but I'm here to tell you that it's very possible. I have collected some of my favourite little quotes from the book for you all to enjoy, speckled throughout this review.
This was unexpectedly spectacular?! I had [WRONGLY] assumed this book was cruising purely on baffling TikTok hype, but this is actually exceptional.
