It's been years since a book has caught me completely off guard. Other reviews suggest I might be alone here, but I did not see the twist at the end coming in the slightest. I've missed being genuinely surprised by a book. For that, this is an easy 5* ...more |

I can't give a popcorn novel 5*s but if I had a seperate rating system just for these sorts of stories then it would be. Strangely, theres a little girl on my ceiling telling me to give it 5* anyway. I won't listen to her. Now to have a look at what m ...more |

| Vance is a prose wizard and infuses these stories with fairy tale elements. Extremely refreshing. I haven't read anything modern that feels like this, which alone makes it worth reading. ...more | |
"Rating: 4.5 ⭐
The Morbid Healer has been one of my favorite reads of 2026 thus far. We follow the journey of Alice, our death-obsessed healer, as she searches for a way to prove that all witches from Den'gore aren't evil regardless of the reputation" Read more of this review » |

"Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (3.5 stars) This was such a refreshing read which is especially ironic considering the title of this book. But I wanted more from it. The opening hooked me immediately - Alice as a traveling healer with morbi" Read more of this review » |

"Going into reading this I was expecting to enjoy the premise but what I didn't expect was how much the story and the characters grew on me. Ive seen people say they struggled with pacing throughout this book but in my opinion the pacing is what lends"

“The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
