May 24, 2021 by Justin Leave a Comment

As we ramp up to the kick-off of SPFBO 7 on June 1st, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to introduce the contest to those of you that haven’t yet heard of it and introduce FanFiAddict’s team of judges. We’re really excited to be a part of the process this year and cannot wait to get started!

Review: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

May 23, 2021 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

From beginning to end, Rebecca Roanhorse’s Black Sun is a stunning work of fantastical fiction. Bringing together inspiration from Pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Aztecs, Maya and various tribes and nations of Native Americans, there is a distinct sense of passion on display here. This is wholly evident in Roanhorse’s worldbuilding, but her characters are where Black Sun truly shines. And as the start to a trilogy called Between Earth and Sky, it is an epic start to what will surely become a memorable series in modern fantasy canon.

Review: The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue #1) by Christopher Buehlman

May 23, 2021 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

The first thing you notice when beginning The Blacktongue Thief is the narrative structure. Written in first person with fourth-wall breaking type style, it definitely takes a bit of an adjustment. However, I’m a huge fan of this form of writing. I’ve always enjoyed first person narrative but when it feels like someone is telling the story directly to YOU, it makes the book even more engaging. In fact, it took me longer to read this book than usual because I didn’t want to miss a word of what our protagonist Kinch is telling you.

Review: The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue #1) by Christopher Buehlman

May 21, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Blacktongue Thief is the first installment in Christopher Buehlman’s new Blacktongue series, published by Tor Books. I have to say I really love this book, as it has so many aspects of an adventure fantasy that I enjoy.

Review: Blacksad: The Collected Stories by Juan Díaz Canales

May 20, 2021 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

I love me a good detective story, and I love me some good comics, so my excitement was off the charts when I discovered Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guardino’s Blacksad comic series. Now, a quick disclaimer: I was a big fan of anthropomorphism—the personification of animals. Past childhood franchises (Winnie the Pooh, Hamtaro, Micky Mouse, Looney Tunes and the like) were great, but Brian Jacques’ Redwall book series was my jam. Seriously, I loved them and read all twenty-two(!!!) books. In adulthood though, I’ve never actively sought out the stuff. But, Blacksad has convinced me that when done well—instead of being an easily overplayed gimmick—it can be a powerful allegory for the real world, past and present. It can also be aimed at and work well for adults.

Review: Ten Low by Stark Holborn

May 19, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

This is a Sci-Fi set on a moon at the edge of the universe, where the reach of The Accord barely exists and lawlessness abounds. I loved reading a story about a backwater moon where the rest of the universe is clearly populated, if not entirely cared for. It gives the characters who live there a lot to fight for and not a lot to lose. The race across the landscape means you see farms where crops can’t grow, towns built like prison hulks, and shining fancy transport that is at odds with its surroundings. Somehow Holborn has taken this space-desert moon and filled it with life and with threats.
