The Of Shepherds and Mages series has nothing explicit happening between characters 'on camera,' but occasional frank discussions between them about sex, anal sex, sexual assault, incest and slavery. If your teen already knows these exist in the world, then there will be nothing to shock them.

My short stories tend to be more explicit and can include recreational drug use, explicit sex scenes, gory battles and characters with very strange kinks.(less)

Warhammer Taught Me to Read

Anyone else had their first brush with literature at the Black Library?

When I was 10, I struggled with words. I loved books, but only when my father would read them to me. Children’s classics like The Silver Sword passed under my nose, but I gleaned nothing more than a vague sense of what they were about (even Sally the Seagull pushed me beyond my tolerance for frustration). I had no idea this was Read more of this blog post »

If one of those moody werewolf graphics and a hot topic employee from 2008 came together it would be this romance. I struggled so much to get through this. It’s baseline every werewolf romance you’ve ever read before. If I had to read about" Read more of this review »

Let’s start with the caveat: I’m a middle-aged man and I know I’m not the target audience for this book. But I haaated it. There’s no character development, no character depth and the story is so transparent that there’s no tension. I was bored the w ...more

I remember these stories from childhood and it's strange to find it retains its charm as an adult. With adult eyes come adult insight. Pooh, who seems so innocent and loveable in the collective imagination is actually a bit of a rogue; deceitful, glu ...more

I really enjoyed this quirky and refreshingly different read! It was a brilliant introduction to T. Kingfisher’s work, and I loved the ragtag group of characters who come together throughout the story. They’re an unusual bunch, but that’s part of the" Read more of this review »

This is a quirky book, more fairytale than fantasy. It was a pleasant read and I adored the protagonist, Mara, who is not the brightest spark in the kingdom. Kind of a refreshing take to have a thirty year old nun with no particular skill set bumblin ...more

This is the kind of wonderful in depth study - one village across a hundred years - that makes history come alive. A top-rate look at people's everyday lives.

This book is a 'must' for anyone studying the reclaiming of the fens of Lincolnshire. However, it is infuriatingly patchy, jumping around topics and time periods without much indication of why or that the topic has actually changed. A lot of the tech ...more
