Like This Game? Read This Book: 11 Book Recommendations for Gamers by M.J. Kuhn

June 7, 2022 by David W 1 Comment

“Gamers don’t read.”  I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard this stereotype, but as a person who hangs out at the intersection of video games and books (especially on my TikTok channel), I can tell you that’s the furthest thing from the truth.  Gamers and readers have a ridiculous amount in common—so […]

Review: The City Inside by Samit Basu

June 7, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

The City Inside is a tricky novel to review. On one hand, I enjoyed it a lot—its characters, world, technology and atmosphere. On the other, the narrative structure is strange, and the real story takes a while to coalesce and impress. That said, it’s also a short book, and author Samit Basu manages to pack in a ton of great ideas, character development and worldbuilding. It’s also a book that contains a heaping pile of heart, humor and positivity, offering up some much-needed levity in these strange times we are in.

Review: Shards of Earth (The Final Architects Trilogy #1) by Adrian Tchaikovsky

June 6, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

I’m a big Adrian Tchaikovsky fan. Children of Time is a modern classic and stands as my favorite sci-fi novel of all time while Cage of Souls is a vastly underrated and incredible novel. Tchaikovsky’s works are always incredibly innovative and creative. From Elder Race (a fun novella which mixes fantasy and sci-fi) to his Shadows of the Apt series (a fantasy book with insect type races which I need to read more of) there’s always some interesting worldbuilding and fascinating ideas going on – and Shards of the Earth is no exception.

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: 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.
