📚 REVIEW | Spellslinger – Sebastien de Castell

“First thing you learn wandering the long roads, kid. Everyone thinks they’re the hero of their own story.” Although the storyline is pretty dark, this was quite a fun read. I went in with zero expectations, hell, I didn’t even read the blurb. The cover drew me in and I’d heard it was meant to… Continue reading

Fear not, little mortal. The song is not yet sung. This is but the calm before the crescendo. This tale is only two of three. Birth. And life. And death. So patience, gentlefriends. Patience. Close your eyes. Take my hand. And walk with me. This. Book… Goodness gracious me – I sure am glad I… Continue reading

📚 REVIEW | Listen To The Wind – Susanne Dunlap

Susanne Dunlap brings to life 13th Century France masterfully in this tale. Although I do not know much about the era, this book brought back memories as reading Kate Mosse’s Labyrinth – a book I completely adore. I have much the same feelings for Listen to the Wind. Our two central characters, Azemar and Azalaïs,… Continue reading

About Me

Books and food enthusiast. I discovered a love for reading in my late teens, so you’ll see me catching up on older series quite often. I also love to travel around the UK, where I live, and picking up some crafty hobbies – I hope to share snippets of this amongst all the book content. Other interests include gaming, podcasts, drinking too much tea, and trying to personify autumn.
