Book Review: The Six Deaths of The Saint by Alix E. Harrow

After seeing it pop up on my TikTok fyp a few times, I decided I had to check out The Six Deaths of The Saint by Alix E. Harrow; because, after all why shouldn’t I when it is only a 30-page short story?

And by Jove, was I glad that I gave it a go. This little story packs quite the punch. It’s a modern chivalric romance with an undercurrent of fantasy.

It asks questions of destiny, duty and love. Would you sell your soul to be remembered? Or is pure unflinching love enough to sustain you?

The language is spellbinding and will have you underlining passage after passage. By the close of this 30-page wonder, you will shed a tear and perhaps be compelled to start straight over or stare into space, coming to terms with the story before you can finally continue with life again.

The best books I read in 2022

The title says it all really!

December wrap up: Brandon Sanderson, Dragonflight, The Secret History and more

It's the final wrap-up of the year! I read two rather chunky but great books in December, played too much (or just enough) World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, watched the worst movie of the year and revisited an old favourite TV Show...among other things.

January Wrap Up - Books, Movies and TV Shows

New Year, Same Me. This month I read a fantastic book, an ok book, a little bit of poetry and started another book (despite currently juggling about 5 different books...yes, I'm still reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle!)

As usual, I watched loads of movies, but because I didn't do a December wrap-up, I thought I'd talk about the films I watched in December and January in this video.

October Wrap Up: Books, TV Shows and Movies

Did I watch Squid Game? Yes, like the rest of the universe, I'm sure even our alien neighbours in Alpha Centauri sat down and binged the Netflix drama. Let me know in the comments whether you're the only human on earth not to have watched it!

I also talk about the books I read, the TV shows that got me through the month and whether or not Denis Villeneuve’s Dune lived up to my expectations or not as a book reader - click here to read my full Dune Book Review.
