Book #75
A clever premise and a strong start that slowly loses its grip. Three timelines that sit next to each other rather than connecting. Interesting enough to finish, too scattered to really get lost in.

Found me at the end of a long day with my attention span in tatters.
Easy fun and just perfectly catchy with it's humour.
Wonderfully daft and over far too soon.

A mysterious fixer, a fairy secretary and mermaids in the sewers.
Like wandering through a familiar town and noticing everything you walked past before.
The plot won't surprise you, but the world is a joy to explore.

Made for days when your head is stuffed with cotton wool. Quick, light, and most importantly, it has a dog.
Plus monsters that are everyday objects sprouting legs. Pleasant while it lasts and gone by morning.

The battle is already lost before page one. One soldier, one cranky horse and a wagon full of goodbyes.
Like sorting a jumbled pile of Lego while a good audiobook plays: slow, orderly and oddly satisfying.

A hot cup of tea for battered souls.
Therapy sessions felt like a balm, gentle and soothing, and the healing is never a straight line.
Come for the dragon, stay for the therapy, and leave a little kinder to yourself.

A con, a crew and a story that never stops moving. Two strong leads, a fresh blend of magic and tech, and a finale worth the wait. It just runs a little too fast for its own good, and I lost the rail in the middle.

A vampire who packs his wife's favourite tea for every journey, simply because he promised. Like a slice of Apfelstrudel, layered with banter, mystery and affection, and gone far too quickly. Cosy, clever and a pure delight.

ARC of Inferno's Child by David Green, Nick Holleran Book 5
This is where the series goes to hell. All the way down. Every circle digs deeper into one man's soul, and the ferryman stole my heart. Fast, funny and surprisingly moving.

Dark, bloody and grimdark done right. A world that feels lived in and characters who grew on me, one decision at a time. It takes a while to sink its teeth in, but once it does, it doesn't let go.

The soft landing after the crash. Like coming home from a great but exhausting trip, kicking off your shoes and sinking into your own bed. The plot takes a nap, and that is exactly the point.

An easy, breezy read you can finish in a day. A quiet stretch in the woods had grit, but once the romance takes the wheel I was rolling my eyes. Made for slow burn and enemies to lovers fans. I'm just not one of them.

A latrine slave ends up carrying the realm on his shoulders, usually while still covered in something unmentionable. Once it found its footing, the humour landed and just kept getting better. A blast of an underdog story.
@kitvaria.bsky.socialBook #62
A winged saint and a monster who is a severed head. Sharp writing, slice of life, in a strange, blood-soaked world, and a genuine monster I still found relatable. Not fully my type of book, but it knows what it wants to be.

I went in unsure, and the dark slowly pulled me in. Creepy mytery without tipping into horror, with one of the most creative magic systems I've read in a while and a slow burn that earns its quiet ending.
@kitvaria.bsky.socialBook #60
Perfect for reading on half a brain. Chaos, banter and zombies, with found family underneath. They'd save each other at any cost, but gleefully watch each other catch a bloody nose first. It asks nothing of you except to enjoy the ride.
@kitvaria.bsky.socialBook #59
A standalone LitRPG, a trickster god and a properly murderous ghost. Fun all the way, until the big showdown fizzles and the tension deflates in an instant. Still a book I enjoyed, just one that left an aftertaste it didn't need to.
@kitvaria.bsky.socialBook #58
The series has always been warm and cosy. This one hurts. It lets you settle in, then pulls the rug out and keeps pulling, until it feels like your soul is being dragged out through your belly button. Worth every tear.

Drops you straight into the wreckage and dares you to keep up. Frenetic, foul-mouthed and mean, led by a hired gun who is no hero and no villain either. The kind of bastard you end up rooting for anyway.
@kitvaria.bsky.socialLet it slide I did - let's play catch up!
Book #56
The war goes underground. Cramped in the dark, explosions muffled, strangely sheltered, until she brings the war down with her. A digger is a digger, whichever side of the line he works for.
