Review: Rise of the Mages (The Age of Ire #1) by Scott Drakeford

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) Leave a 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.

Review: The Blood of Outcasts by D.A. Smith

March 2, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Blood of Outcasts is author D.A. Smith’s first published full-length novel and the premier book in The Bane Sword Trilogy. It is a dark and gritty story about the price paid for loyalty and honor – plus there are cool weapons, fights, and a little bit of magic.

Review: The Sword in the Street by C.M. Caplan

February 23, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Sword in the Street is C.M. Caplan’s debut novel and was a 2021 SPFBO semi-finalist. Interesting characters, well-written prose, and fun sword fights make this book one definitely worth reading.

Review: Gods and Dragons (Wake the Dragon #3) by Kevin J. Anderson

February 18, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Gods and Dragons is book 3 and the final release in Kevin J. Anderson’s epic fantasy series Wake the Dragon (my reviews of the first two books can be found at the following links: Spine of the Dragon, Vengewar). While those reviews were short of glowing, I felt the need to continue with the series because I thought there was potential for a great ending. I wanted to see the storylines play out, hopeful for a fantastic finish; and, while I would not necessarily describe it as “fantastic”, it ended up being pretty good.
