Genre: Graphic Novel – Fantasy – SteampunkRating: I admit, I really liked the first volume of this series. I enjoyed the second. But Century 1910 seriously makes me feel like the whole thing is going downhill. The League is no longer made up of the characters we came to know in volume one, but if you hadn’t readContinueContinue reading “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1910 [Books]”

All the Stars and Teeth – Adalyn Grace [Books]
Genre: Fantasy (Young Adult) Publisher: Titan Books Release Date: 04/08/20 Rating: All the Stars and Teeth joins my short list of books I’ve put and immediately wanted to read the next one in the series. (Along with Spin the Dawn, The Cruel Prince, and the first two Shades of Magic books. Oh and The Never Tilting World.) AndContinueContinue reading “All the Stars and Teeth – Adalyn Grace [Books]”
Spider-Man/Deadpool, Volume 2: Side-Pieces [Books]
Genre: Graphic Novel – Superheroes Publisher: Marvel Rating: Volume 1 Review Side Pieces feels very, very different to Spider-Man/Deadpool Volume 1. Whereas 1 had an over-arching story, the two heroes bouncing off each other and forming a deeper friendship, Side Pieces, like the name, is more a collection of random stories featuring the two heroes, disconnected from oneContinueContinue reading “Spider-Man/Deadpool, Volume 2: Side-Pieces [Books]”

The Black Kids – Christina Hammonds Reed [Books]
Genre: YA – Historical/Contemporary Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children’s UK Rating: As the end of high school nears, Ashley and her friends spend more time away from school than in it.

When Punk Rocked – Andy Francis [Books]
Genre: Non-Fiction – History – Reference Publisher: Wymer Publishing Rating: This book gets 5 Stars because it does exactly what it needs to, and presents information in a fun but informative way and what else could you really ask for from a reference book? This is another book I picked up for research purposes, and it’s veryContinueContinue reading “When Punk Rocked – Andy Francis [Books]”
Preludes & Nocturnes – The Sandman, Volume 1 [Books]
Genre: Fantasy Publisher: Vertigo Rating: I kind of knew I would like this, having heard about the series for years and years and years and only just getting around to picking it up, but I don’t think I ever really realised just how much I would like it. In an attempt to capture Death, a groupContinueContinue reading “Preludes & Nocturnes – The Sandman, Volume 1 [Books]”
The Sin Eater – Megan Campisi [Books]
Genre: Historical Fantasy Publisher: Pan Macmillian Release Date: 23/07/2020 Rating: Throughout this book, I found myself flipping between three and four stars. This book is a solid 3.5, I think, but I don’t do half stars so it gets rounded up to four. May Owens doesn’t really know her place in the world. But beforeContinueContinue reading “The Sin Eater – Megan Campisi [Books]”
The Never Tilting World – Rin Chupeco [Books]
Genre: Fantasy Publisher: HarperTeen Rating: First, I absolutely loved this book. Second, I have no idea why it’s noted as ‘Frozen meets Mad Max’ in the Goodreads summary. The ‘Mad Max’ aspect I totally get. But Frozen? Why? Because it’s…sisters? This book is more akin to Final Fantasy, in really good ways. It’s got theContinueContinue reading “The Never Tilting World – Rin Chupeco [Books]”
