Onwards! I internally commanded, as I opened to the first page of this massive entry in one of the biggest behemoths of fantasy literature. Onwards brave soldier, onwards! But I needn't have worried. My fears and trepidations, initially caused by my abandonment of the series over seven years ago and stoked since by many a … Continue reading Review: The Dragon Reborn →

I'm on something of a nature kick at the moment. In the past year I've fallen in love with Countryfile, I've come to realise just how much I miss being able to pop out into the great outdoors of the Brecon Beacons since I moved to Cardiff, and now I find myself looking out for … Continue reading Review: The Shepherd’s Life →

This book is 679 pages worth of brilliance. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series, but was wondering why I stuck the series out so long last time if the middle books were just that boring. Well, I have my answer. The Great Hunt is a tour de force in what epic fantasy … Continue reading Review: The Great Hunt (WoT #2) →

* * * * * So before I start, I'd like to stress that this review is not just for those that suffer, or know someone who knowingly suffers, with Endo. This is a bitch of a condition made even worse by the fact that the average time to get diagnosed is 7+ years. That's … Continue reading Review: Beating Endo →

We are, of course, in Lockdown here in the UK. Confined to our houses for the majority of the time, allowed out for one hour of exercise, essential shopping/trips and not much else. In this time I have come to know my immediate area very well. I have thoroughly enjoyed my new run route, have … Continue reading Book Haul! (Quarantine Inspired) →

This series is considered one of the bastions of Fantasy, a true giant in the field, and the slayer of many a reader. Yes, that's right, a slayer. Many a reader has gotten half way through and been defeated by this megalith of writing. And I'm one of them. Back in the halycon days of … Continue reading Review: The Eye of the World (WoT #1) →

Hallo! Welcome! Croeso! I have been a little slack in the past few months at writing my reviews. I'm gonna quickly slam through them now, and then get back into it. But I figured I'd jump to the end and provide you all (because I know how much you care!) with my 2019 reading stats. … Continue reading Review: MY READING OF 2019 →

It has been a while since I've indulged in a little historical fiction. Once my favoured genre, I seem to have wandered away from it a little recently. Completing a history degree a few years ago and understanding how far some strayed from the truth probably has something to do with it, but I think … Continue reading Review: Agincourt Bride →

A bit of a do is a bit of okay. There, I said it. And now I don't really know what to say next. This book has a great premise. A cast of characters who's lives are revealed through a series of 'do's - weddings, fundraisers etc. Each new episode revealing more of what has … Continue reading Review: A bit of a do →

No. No. No. Oh dear God no. I thought I had seen bad adaptations. I thought I had seen the worst of the worst. I was wrong. THIS DOESN'T EVEN TRY AND FOLLOW THE PLOT. THIS DOESN'T EVEN TRY AND STAY TRUE TO THE CHARACTERS. THIS DOESN'T EVEN TRY AND KEEP THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE … Continue reading Adaptation Review: Seventh Son →
