Lies, Knives, and Apples is a novella set in Lyra Wolf’s Norse-inspired Nine World Chronicles universe. This is going to be a mini review, as the book is only 75 pages long. I enjoyed this side story, for the most part, though there is one big issue I want to discuss.
Review: Triggernometry and Advanced Triggernometry (Triggernometry #1-2) by Stark Holborn
Gun-slinging mathematicians in an alternate history Wild West shouldn’t work, right? Right? Well, I am here to tell you that it, in fact, does because that’s exactly what we have in Stark Holborn’s two Triggernometry novellas and somehow she manages to make math look cool.
Review: The Well of Ascension (Mistborn #2) by Brandon Sanderson
Review: The Red Wolf Conspiracy (Chathrand Voyage #1) by Robert V.S. Redick
Cover Reveal + Q&A: The Song of Kamaria #2 by T.A. Bruno
Hello everyone and welcome to the cover reveal for the sequel to T.A. Bruno’s In the Orbit of Sirens. If you read my review of the first book then you know how much I liked it, so I am super excited to be able to share with you the cover for the forthcoming sequel, On the Winds of Quasars. The cover for the first book was phenomenal and the interior art was one of the best surprises I have experienced, so I am looking forward to seeing what all the author has in store for us.
Review: Iron Gold (Red Rising #4) by Pierce Brown
Review: Wraithblade by S.M. Boyce
Wraithblade, a sprawling epic, amazed me from beginning to end and left me wanting more of the story that involves an unlikely team of characters; Connor, Murdoch, Sophia and the rest of the supporting characters. It ramped up slowly where S.M. Boyce takes a generous amount of time introducing us to its world filled with kingdoms, beautiful fauna, political power struggles and its own magic system, and then goes into high gear with a palette full of action and a smorgasbord of twists and turns!
Cover Reveal: Conqueror’s Blood (Gunmetal Gods #2) by Zamil Akhtar
Review – A Prince’s Errand (Tales of the Amulet #1) by Dan Zangari and Robert Zangari
Review: The Shadow of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Saga #1) by John Gwynne
The Shadow of the Gods is the first book in John Gwynne’s Bloodsworn Saga, and if it is any indication as to how the rest of the series is going to go, readers are in for quite a treat. I enjoyed this book immensely.
The Myth of Accurate Representation – Neurodivergence in Fiction
Hello all, and welcome to the first article in FanFiAddict’s series on Neurodivergence in Fiction! As a late diagnosee of Autism myself, I am so excited to be hosting this series. For so long I have felt like the “Other” and have found safety and security within the stories I read, with it often being much easier for me to relate to the character’s between the pages of a book rather than the people I interact with every day. For the next several months we will be bringing you a guest post every Wednesday from a neurodivergent author, hopefully highlighting some of the challenges that comes with writing fiction for a largely neurotypical audience, while also giving valuable insight into the craft itself and providing a window into the neurodivergent experience. At least through the lens of fiction. For today’s article we are highlighting FanFiAddict’s very own C.M. Caplan as he discusses The Myth of Accurate Representation.
