Book Review – The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri
Never have I been more in love with a slow burn. And I mean SLOOOOOOOW. It's glorious.

Book Review – Into The Fire by Elizabeth Moon
I sort of “accidentally” ended up rereading the entire Vatta’s War series, as well as Cold Welcome before picking this up finally. I’m glad I did as I definitely picked up some things in CW and this that I probably would have missed otherwise (and definitely did the first time around in the case of Cold Welcome). I really do love this universe and Moon’s military sci-fi epics.

Book Review – Random Sh*t Flying Through The Air by Jackson Ford
This series is so wonderfully brilliant. I was going to say joyful, but it seems wrong to say that about a book in which so many people are killed by a child! We get more of Tegan's brand of sarcasm and sass, and a super-smart 4-year-old trying to destroy the planet. What more could you want?

Book Review – The Library of the Dead by T.L. Huchu
I was pretty excited about The Library of the Dead - it fits right into one of my favourite genres - an alternate magical society with a mystery element. Yes, that's specific, and yes, I found enough books in that to justify the opinion! :D Set in an alternate Edinburgh, The Library of the Dead features a girl who can talk to the dead.

Book Review – A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine
Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Five perfect stars. I love this series so much. I didn't think it could improve on Memory, but somehow it did. I've flagged this for mild spoilers, but I will try not to go too far.

Book Review – Forged by Benedict Jacka
This is the penultimate instalment in the Alex Verus series I believe, and it really jumps right into the action. As a result, it took me a little while to get into this at the start. Once I remembered what had happened at the end of the last book, I was sorted!

Book Review – Aether Ones by Wendi Coffman-Porter
Aether Ones gives you a mystery set in a sci-fi environment, and I think the way we get to focus on the mystery elements but still get such a big influence from the space setting was pretty good.

Book Review – The Mask Falling by Samantha Shannon
This series continues to hit for me and the tension I continuing to rise, even when you think it can't possibly go any higher! It's truly a testament to Samantha's amazing writing.

Book Review – The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick
This is a book I was hyped for as soon as I heard about it. Con woman, friends as family, political intrigue, masks and secret identities... what's not to love?

Book Review – One by One by Ruth Ware
One by One is a tension thriller mystery, with an alpine setting and a snowed-in cabin vibe to go with it. The whole thing is a company retreat for 9 posh people who work at a tech firm, one ex-employee with stocks and two cabin staff. It honestly sounds like a nightmare to me!
