The Elenium
I had an urge for a quick generic fantasy hit and this fits the bill.
I’ve reviewed this fantasy series before and pretty much everything I said then still holds true.

The Belgariad
This five volume series is an expertly and cynically constructed slice of epic fantasy.
Nearly every clichéd trope of the genre is trotted at one point or another but the sheer pace of storytelling stops it from becoming boring.
I’ve read this series many times but even after now I find myself enjoying some of the characters and rooting for the (inevitable) happy ending.
It’s outdated, generic as all hell but it’s one of my comfort reads.
If you’re looking for a quick, easy-to-read fantasy fix then this is an acceptable option.

A Deadly Education
El is an outcast at the Scholomance school of magic.
This would be bad enough in a normal boarding school but this magical school is full of monsters called Mals looking to snack on unprepared students and the outcasts are the easy marks.
Luckily El is no easy mark.

The Accidental Footballer
This is a pretty decent, if slight, memoir.
Given Nevin’s personality it is not surprising that it’s most fun when he’s talking about life outside of football.

When Sorrows Come
Toby and Tybalt are finally getting married.
Of course Toby would be pulled into events vital to continuing peace among the Fae in North America along the way.
Another excellent book in this incredible series.

A Killing Frost
Toby has to find her legal father (and former nemesis) before she can marry.
Some truly epic reveals in this excellent continuation of the best urban fantasy series of all time.

Mad About You
Really very bad romance novel about the love between two competing Italian students.
It honestly read like it had been badly translated from the Italian!
