#BookReview – Witchlight

July 6, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

I’ve been a fan of Sonya Clark’s work for a while, and I reviewed Trancehack, book one in this series, back in May. I was quite glad to get my hands on Witchlight, although fans of Nate and Calla, the couple in Trancehack, may be disappointed that the sequel follows a different couple. Here’s the […]

#BookReview – The Guardian’s Wyrd

June 22, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

Young Adult fiction can sometimes suffer from the notion that it’s somehow not for grown ups, despite the success of series like Harry Potter among adults. Thing is, it’s a thriving classification, featuring strong stories and incredibly likeable characters – and it’s totally okay to like it! Nerine Dorman, purveyor of titles such as Camdeboo Nights and […]

Interview with Nerine Dorman on Magical Realms

June 3, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

Everyone knows I’m a big fan of South African author Nerine Dorman, and I’m lucky to have her here for a short interview about her latest offering, The Guardian’s Wyrd. If you haven’t come across it yet, here’s the blurb; Sometimes having a fairytale prince as a best friend can be a real pain. Jay […]

#BookReview – Fever

May 27, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

I’ve long had a fascination with disease and its spread, and figures like Typhoid Mary hold a certain interest for me as part of that intersection between social and medical history. I’m also keenly fond of historical fiction, so Fever ticked two boxes for me before I’d even opened it. Mary Beth Keane tells the […]

#BookReview – Trancehack

May 7, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

I’ve been a fan of Sonya Clark for a while now – I think I read Mojo Queen and Red House in a couple of days. So it was hardly surprising that I’d pick up Trancehack as well – it might have taken me a few months to get to it, but I’m glad I […]
