Book Review – Perdido Street Station by China Mieville
This beast of a book is the kind of tome that would normally take me a good few weeks to get through, and build up my arm muscles quite significantly. But instead I sailed through it like a ravenous slake… Read More ›

Book Review – Nexilexicon by Keith Anthony Baird
At the time of writing this review, Nexilexicon has no reviews or ratings on Goodreads, and that is a great shame because this book really is excellent. When a story can feel epic, yet flies by in no time at… Read More ›
