Review – Legacy Systems Trilogy
Author M J Conlon has a special place in my mind, going way back to 2019’s release of The AHKH Resurrectionist Chronicles. The setting in theory wasn’t super original, but the way it was played was. The main character, in…
Review – Bloom & Dark: A Burningsoul Novel
I had to do a Google search today… My first brush with Regina Watts was when Facebook decided to advertise her to me, likely because of some of the other books I read. The advertisement said something like “Like Eric…
Review – Granbelm
I would sum up Granbelm as “Magical preteens who fight a battle royale with robots in hopes of being the one chosen by magic itself, complete with gutwrenching drama and enough character death to remind you that anime isn’t supposed…
Review – The Nightmare Game System
When I was 8 years old I would argue there were two shows I watched religiously. Sure, I’d catch cartoons as I could, but good luck prying me away from the television if these two shows were on. The first…

Review – The Pyre Starter
The Pyre Starter is a book I picked up and put down many times over the course of the month I started it, and I struggled to understand why. It was this journey I wanted to see the end of,…
Review – Monster Girl in My Closet
“Because eating bats hasn’t caused enough problems in 2020, let’s have sex with them!” – Me as I preordered this book, September 2020 I kid, mostly. Jamie Hawke is no stranger to non-human girls as love interests or as part…
Review – 21 Days with Momo
Koji Kojou is a mysterious man. As an author, he strives to write slice-of-life stories that are influenced by Japanese web novels yet manage to be distinctly western, perhaps even Midwestern. They tend to be short, sweet, and show characters…
Review – Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel And Dragon
There’s a dated joke in poor taste by internet cartoonist Natalie Dee. On a blog post she states her intent to swap out a problematic epithet with a replacement: I am going to be replacing “retarded” with “rondo” from now…
