Review: Sidewinders (The Fire Sacraments #2) by Robert V. S. Redick

August 18, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Sidewinders by Robert V.S. Redick, is the awaited sequel to Master Assassins and continuation of the Fire Sacraments series. I’d heard nothing but great things about this book, and I can confirm, its exceptional.

Embracing My Differences — Neurodivergence in Fiction

August 18, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

I do not like labels, I never have. Part of me has always rebelled at them because I am more than a mere word, or a phrase or any other way you want to stick something to me. Another part of me, wanted to hide from them because being different was ‘dangerous’ and threatened to draw a spotlight that I didn’t want for many reasons. But, I WAS different – I just refused to acknowledge it.

Review: Gunmetal Gods (Gunmetal Gods #1) by Zamil Akhtar

August 17, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

I first noticed this book a while back when I spotted the cover on Twitter. Who can blame me, right? It’s astounding and really sets up the tone of the whole book. Gunmetal Gods is pretty dark and fairly bleak at that. But, it works. This is a tale of grief, revenge, ambition, religious zealotry, and rage. It’s a military fantasy based on Middle Eastern history, especially that of the Ottoman Empire and the Crusades, with a distinctly Lovecraftian twist.

Blog Tour Review: Legacy of Light (The Legacy Trilogy #3) by Matthew Ward

August 17, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Sometimes I struggle with reviews of series finales because I find it difficult to find something new to say. I have already spoken at-length about characters, plot, setting, writing style, emotional connection, etc. I try to stay away from repeating myself too much, because who wants to read that? (By the way, if you want to read my previous reviews, you can find them here: The Legacy of Ash (Book 1); The Legacy of Steel (Book 2).

SPFBO 7 Interview: R.E. Fury

August 17, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Hello everyone and welcome to our latest author interview for the 7th annual Self Published Fantasy Blog Off! I’ve been working on reaching out to each of the authors who have landed in our batch of books for the competition to see if they would be interested in being interviewed or contributing a guest article in an attempt to drum up a little extra excitement for their book and (hopefully) get to know them a bit better.
