Recommended Reading: Dragons of Terra by Brian Naslund

October 8, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

I had been putting off reading Brian Naslund’s Dragons of Terra series until it was finished because I was afraid once I started reading it I would not want to stop. I had heard it was absolutely addictive, plus adventure fantasy is my favorite, and also, well, you know, dragons, so I was not interested in waiting a year for book 2, and another year for book 3. And I could not have been more right in that decision. Had I had time between books it would have driven me absolutely bonkers. This is the kind of series that makes me want to shout from the rooftops… *ahem*… let me clear my throat:

READ IT NOW!

Now that the yelling is out of the way, let’s get to the details of what makes this series so good.

Review: The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa

October 7, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

The Cat Who Saved Books is a truly enchanting tale of a boy who loses his Grandfather and his journey with a talking cat to save books. Translated from the original Japanese by Louse Heal Kawai it flows wonderfully as it draws you through the story.

Review: Paladin Unbound by Jeffrey Speight

October 4, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

Paladin Unbound starts the way that all good fantasies do. With a prologue detailing events that happened millenia ago, leading to a prophecy being left behind that becomes the catalyst for the rest of the book. Speight does this incredible well as it immediately pulls you into the mythology and history of Evelium.

Review: The Hood (Anti-Matter of Britain Quartet #2) by Lavie Tidhar

October 3, 2021 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The Hood delivers myth and magic with a splatter of sweary violence and comedy in all the right places in what is one of the most unique and masterful reads of 2021.

Review: The Free Bastards (The Lot Lands #3) by Jonathan French

October 2, 2021 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

The Free Bastards is a final book that takes everything we hold dear, all the cool, badass, components we’ve loved from the first two and throws a dash more of court intrigue that’s a weird fit with mongrels around, more strange magic and ramps it all up to a hundred! It’s a book that knows itself and ain’t scared to flaunt it. It’s a tapestry of all that the Lot Lands had to offer in books 1 and 2, woven into a tight picture then set ablaze; let me tell you this, reader, when the fire that is Oats starts, it doesn’t stop.

Review: The Liar of Red Valley by Walter Goodwater

September 30, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

Wow. Just wow. I had heard good things about The Liar of Red Valley, but to actually read it for myself was something else. I sat down thinking I’d just start it and then it was many hours later and I’d read the vast majority of the book.

The front of the ARC reads:
Do not trust the liar.
Do not go in the river.
Do not cross the King.
