Epic, female-centred fantasy is something I’m always looking for, and A Queen in Hiding definitely promised a lot, with a completed story in four books each coming out only four weeks apart!

Review: A Brightness Long Ago
Guy Gavriel Kay has been a favourite of mine for years, ever since The Fionavar Tapestry broke my heart as a young teen. I’ve only recently branched out into his less magical, more historical fantasy, though, and A Brightness Long Ago is a perfect example of how he spins real-world history into secondary worlds and creates something truly beautiful with it.
Review: The Unconquered City
After yesterday’s review of The Impossible Contract, let’s carry on straight away with the conclusion to this series, The Unconquered City!
Review: The Impossible Contract
I adored The Perfect Assassin, and this companion novel/sequel really lives up to expectations!
Review: The Wallflower Wager
The Governess Game is one of my all-time favourite romances, so I was excited to read the next book in the series!
Review: Scot Under The Covers
Remember how much I adored It’s Getting Scot In Here? Well, Suzanne Enoch is back with the sequel, the equally pun-tastic Scot Under The Covers, and it’s just as amazing!
Review: There Will Come A Darkness
I knew very little about this book going in, other than that several of my friends had enjoyed it, but it really swept me up from the get-go!
Review: If Darkness Takes Us
I’m not usually one for a post-apocalyptic setting, and now might really not have been the time to read about the collapse of civilisation, but If Darkness Takes Us really blew me away with its clever and realistic portrayal of one woman trying to cope in a barely-functioning world.
Review: Blood of an Exile
I was hyped up for dragons, but Blood of an Exile let me down a little – it’s a classic-feeling adventure fantasy, just one a bit outdated in its representation of women.
Review: Soulkeeper
I’m always in the mood for interesting new fantasy, but somehow I missed Soulkeeper when it first came out. With the sequel, Ravencaller, just out in March, Orbit were kind enough to send me over copies of both so I could catch up – and I’m glad they did, because Soulkeeper is a huge amount of fun!
