Review: Paladin Unbound by Jeffrey Speight

December 20, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Here is an author in their element, having some fun with their craft and delivering some of the best combat scenes I have read lately.

Review: Wrath from the Mountains (The Bane Sword Saga #2) by D.A. Smith

December 16, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The Bane Sword Saga is picking up momentum. Smith’s ronin rampage is a whirlwind of cursing and slicing that’s not slowing down anytime soon

Review: City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky

December 13, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The City of Last Chances, was carved out of granite by an industrial literary automaton. Everything has been precisely placed to full effect. Its demon-powered factories belch black infernal smoke to power the prose as burn you through the pages.

Review: Yestermorrow by Frasier Armitage

December 9, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The concept of being able to rewrite our lives to cut out the bad decisions is played out really nicely here, while staying true to the “get in, there’s no time to explain” style of sci-fi that Armitage does so well.

Review: The Immortality Thief (The Kystrom Chronicles #1) by Taran Hunt

September 21, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

A narrative that delivers so hard its “just what the fuck happened here?” hook.

Review: Stormblood (The Common #1) by Jeremy Szal

August 29, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Synopsis Vakov Fukasawa is a Reaper; a human augmented with Stormtech. The Stormtech turns the Reapers into feared warriors of the bloody war between Harmony and the Harvesters – capable of untold amounts of violence and destruction. Unfortunately for the reapers themselves, Stormtech also causes them to become addicted to adrenaline. With the war over, […]

Review: Beware of Chicken: a Xianxia Cultivation Novel (Beware of Chicken #1) by Casualfarmer

July 8, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Beware of Chicken by CasualFarmer

When you’re hooked by a book, you’re hooked and Beware of Chicken is a charming – while utterly bizzarre – read that you just need to experience to get it.

Review: Perception Check (The Mages of Velmyra Saga #1) by Astrid Knight

June 15, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard 1 Comment

Perception Check is a warm-hearted adventure that certainly feels like the homage to tabletop gaming it is trying to be. The characters all resonate, the world grows and grows with the help of a strong magic system and lore. It’s an accomplished debut from Knight and a saga I hope will be a critical success.

Review: Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

June 6, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard 3 Comments

This book is, at the end of it all, like a written relaxing afternoon in a coffee shop. It’s charming and it’s fun. There’s a real time and a place for Legends and Lattes and I’m really glad I found it.

Review: Under Fortunate Stars by Ren Hutchings

May 25, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

It’s a sit down and savor sci-fi that reads like one of the Star Trek episodes where they get stuck in some temporal anomaly and spend the entire time doing sciencey stuffs until they get free at the last minute.

Review: Rememory by Frasier Armitage

May 24, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Armitage’s tightly packed sprint down memory lane is an unmissable sci-fi surge. It’s definitely not something to forget.

Review: Mercury Rising by R.W.W. Greene

May 20, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

A neo-retrofuturistic fest that looks at humanity through a curious lens while an alien menace has guns that go ZARK!
