Review: The Thirteenth Hour (The Cruel Gods #1) by Trudie Skies

May 1, 2023 by Craigbookwyrm Leave a Comment

If you are looking for something different from your usual fantasy reading, then this is my recommendation. The Thirteenth Hour is a brilliant debut that left me feeling like I’d watched a well produced TV series. It is no surprise it was a SPFBO finalist.

Review: A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding #1) by Freya Marske

December 15, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

A Marvellous Light is the first installment in Freya Marske’s The Last Binding trilogy, and the author’s debut novel (though, it is not the author’s first published writing, as Marske has published short stories in the past). Honestly, I was not sure about this book at the start; but, by about a third of the way in the characters had grown on me and the intrigue of the plot began to set in. Not to mention the beauty of the prose. Needless to say, I really liked this book.

Review: Legacy of the Brightwash (Tainted Dominion #1) by Krystle Matar

August 16, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

Legacy of the Brightwash takes you on a journey, the characters you meet at the start of the book go through huge emotional and moral changes throughout the course of the novel. It is such an amazing thing to read. Krystle Matar has managed to craft and develop so much in the course of just one book.
