Review: Dusk (The Navigator #2) by Matthew Samuels

June 30, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

When author Matthew Samuels asked me if I wanted to read and review Dusk, I jumped at the opportunity. I had read and reviewed Parasites – the first book in The Navigators series – a couple of years ago, and I really enjoyed it. I thought the story was light and fun with interesting characters and settings. And, mostly, I liked Dusk for the exact same reasons.

Review: The Stardust Thief (The Sandsea Trilogy #1) by Chelsea Abdullah

June 3, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Stardust Thief is author Chelsea Abdullah’s debut novel and the first in the author’s series The Sandsea Trilogy. There are so many aspects of the book that make it a great read, but in the end it comes down to phenomenal storytelling for me.

Review: The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

May 27, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Kaiju Preservation Society is the latest release from famed SFF author John Scalzi. It is a story about a group of people tasked with preserving kaiju, which are interdimensional, giant flying creatures (I picture a cross between a dragon and a dinosaur). I got Avatar-meets-Jurassic Park vibes from this book. It was an enjoyable read.

April 28, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Rise of the Mages is Scott Drakeford’s debut novel and the first in The Age of Ire series. I found this book to be unique and adventurous, and, while parts of it left me wanting, very impressed with the story overall.

Review: That Good Mischief (The Nine Worlds Rising #3) by Lyra Wolf

April 14, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

That Good Mischief is author Lyra Wolf’s latest release and book 3 in The Nine World’s Rising series. I previously read and reviewed the first 2 books in the series and found them to be a joy to read. If you are into stories about Loki, Odin, and Norse mythology, these books are must reads.

Review: The Hunger of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Trilogy #2) by John Gwynne

April 5, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Hunger of the Gods is the second in John Gwynne’s Bloodsworn Trilogy, and one of the most anticipated fantasy releases of 2022. I loved the first book, as well (read my of The Shadow of the Gods), so I was looking forward to reading this one, as well. Let there be no doubt – it did not disappoint.

Reread Thread: A Chorus of Dragons (Books #1-4) by Jenn Lyons

March 16, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) 1 Comment

Hey, book friends! As big as our TBRs are and with our busy schedules, it is often difficult to reread books and series – something I have vowed to do more of in 2022.

With that in mind, and as one of my favorite series being completed this year, I decided it was the perfect time for a reread of Jenn Lyons’ A Chorus of Dragons series. The final book, The Discord of Gods, releases in April, and the seri

Review: The Bladed Faith (Vagrant Gods #1) by David Dalglish

March 9, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Bladed Faith is the first in David Dalgishes’ new series, Vagrant Gods. Dalglish, who has proven himself a master of action over the last several years (and is fresh off the phenomenal finale of his last series, The Keepers) has managed to publish yet another fascinating fantasy series. I came for the amazing cover and intriguing synopsis and stayed for the fantastic fight sequences, amazing storyline, and compelling characters.
