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.

Review: The Hollow Gods by A.J. Vrana (The Chaos Cycle Duology #1)

May 23, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The Hollow Gods is an adult fantasy horror novel with an incredibly intriguing premise dealing with a small town and mysteries plaguing it. Is it actually supernaturally cursed by an evil spirit kidnapping women with the aid of vicious wolves? Or do its inhabitants suffer from mass hysteria on the regular and turn on each other at random?

Review: Dawnshard (The Stormlight Archive #3.5) by Brandon Sanderson

May 22, 2022 by Paige 1 Comment

I jumped in with zero knowledge of The Stormlight Archive (I haven’t even read the synopsis’) and I found Dawnshard a fascinating and completely compelling read. I am sure that there are spoilers for the first 3 in the series (although I wouldn’t know what they are), and I’m sure there are things I didn’t understand, or get the significance of. BUT, I had a great time reading Dawnshard and I found Sanderson’s writing so accessible that I actually found it really easy to understand what was going on.

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

May 18, 2022 by chilcottharry Leave a Comment

The Bladed Faith is, without a doubt, a whole lot of fun… I recommend this book to everyone, however I whole heartedly believe it is essential for lovers of anime and the golden age of Square JRPGs…
