Joseph Brassey: Skyfarer (The Drifting Lands, #1) (2017) No rating

Re-reading Skyfarer by @JosephBrassey@wandering.shop again. I really need a good adventure book which both isn't fluff but also is time that I can spend with a friend (the characters and the author).

Geoffrey Household: Dance of the Dwarfs (Hardcover, Black Dagger Crime) 4 stars

Absolutely amazing book. It's been on my list for years ever since my father kept telling me about it. Unfortunately, it's been hard to track down.

Even knowing how the book ends and the "spoilers" of what happens didn't diminish the book at all. You watch with dread the progress towards an inevitable death and tragedy and know there is nothing you can do about it.

Loved it. T. Kingfisher is rapidly becoming a new favorite author of mine. She has an imagination and creativity that is a rare gift.

I never know what I'm going to get from her, but I'll now happily read anything it hers, even in genres I normally don't explore.
