Review: Dies the Fire

Dies the Fire Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

25/01/2020 re-read Edit: I am now re-listening to this is the GraphicAudio presentation and it's Magical! Am so excited for them to start releasing Book 2 in the series in February 2020. Excited x
29/01/202 - I am very impressed with the GA production. Great voice-work hence an added star! Lady J. prayer scene made me all emotional, especially with the Charge of the Goddess being performed in such a way... really powerful! Am all in for the new upcoming version of book 2!

After multiple re-reads, I am at it again. Time to re-remember the whole story again! Plus, just got the news of the last book in the series being released by the end of the year (about October 2018), and already pre-ordered it! Will refresh all the important details and meet favourite characters again. It is always a delight for me to come back to this Universe as I enjoy it so much x Blessed Be x

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great year filled with AMAZING books! I think this year in particular was the one where Books were the only thing that kept me hanging and got me out of a very deep bout of severe clinical depression.
Am excited for 2020 which is already filling up nicely with good books!

Review: How to Date Your Dragon

How to Date Your Dragon How to Date Your Dragon by Molly Harper
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Was recommended to me when I was on a look-out for a light-hearted read while travelling. Good story, fun, and interesting world-building. I won't be continuing the Series, but if you want to read something well-written and "clean" this one might be for you.

An Extreme Medical Services Christmas: A Short Story About Supernatural Paramedic Dean Flynn An Extreme Medical Services Christmas: A Short Story About Supernatural Paramedic Dean Flynn by Jamie Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The audiobook version of this was perfect length for my work commute. I really missed this universe and after being on a home stretch of Book 7 just wanted something light for the festive period. Can't believe the Series is over! Then again there might be other books in the series in the future and if there will be I will always buy them!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had no idea this existed and it makes me sad! This was so good! I rushed through it in one (long) sitting and now wan to do a weekly run with a paperback edition that is in the mail now. I loved this book it is very well done and easy to read, nevertheless very good quality material and quite deep in places. I will be most definitely re-reading this one multiple times.
