Review: He Who Fights with Monsters (Books 1 – 4) by Shirtaloon

March 7, 2022 by Arun 4 Comments

Brilliance in bound words.

A LitRPG lite / Progression fantasy hybrid series of epic proportions, mean humour and overall super fun comfort read!

Servant of the Underworld (Obsidian and Blood #1) by Aliette De Bodard

Synopsis – The first book in the critically acclaimed Obsidian and Blood trilogy: Year One-Knife, Tenochtitlan the capital of the Aztecs.

This Charming Man (The Stranger Times #2) by C. K. McDonnell

February 17, 2022 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

llip has suddenly developed pointy teeth; he’s getting really wary of daylight and to top it off … he can no longer see his reflection in the mirror. Well, what does he think has caused that? Perhaps its an STD, he surmises … and that, reader, is completely on brand for a book in The Stranger Times series, it had me roaring from the get-go and is utterly, utterly entertaining. It’s certainly for fans of Pratchett and other comedic novels, but really does cut its own shape in the genre with a heavy focus on fantasy, world-building and urban-central storytelling. I loved this and it continues to be a series I look forward to.

Review and Book Tour: Shadow of a Dead God (Mennik Thorn #1) by Patrick Samphire

February 16, 2022 by Seanchalant 1 Comment

Synopsis I was a grown man, damn it, and a mage of Agatos. Armies fled before me. Demons quaked in fear. Small animals gave me a wide berth. Babies cried when I smiled at them. Mennick Thorn is a broke mage for hire with an attitude problem and a tendency to make all the wrong […]

Review: Jade Legacy (Green Bone Saga #3) by Fonda Lee

February 16, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Endings are a tricky thing. A good ending can reframe an entire story or bring home the points that an author was making. A bad ending can sour the experience of a whole series or story. Thankfully, Jade Legacy, the third and final book in the Green Bone Saga, is a smashingly good ending.

Review: Jade War (The Green Bone Saga #2) by Fonda Lee

January 4, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Jade War by Fonda Lee increased everything I loved about the first book and made for a truly breathless read. While the first book was enjoyable, something about it was lacking for me. This sequel expelled any doubts and was a fantastic continuation of the story. (minor spoilers for the first book follow)

Review: Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee

November 26, 2021 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

renching, thoughtful and satisfying close. Each of the books in this series stands on their own in such a unique way: Jade City is a story about a city and its warring clans; Jade War broadens the scope, establishing a country on the geopolitical world stage; and Jade Legacy goes even further, as multiple generations of a family come to grips with their legacy and the future of their nation. As time progresses, as power waxes and wanes, who will finally take control of Kekon?

Review: Jade City (The Green Bone Saga #1) by Fonda Lee

November 18, 2021 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Jade City by Fonda Lee shot up my TBR pile with the effusive praise poured upon Jade Legacy, the conclusion of the series. I was blessed to be sent a review copy of Jade City by Orbit, so I decided to start the trilogy.

This series is an urban fantasy tale with heavy influences from gangster and mafia stories mixed with kung-fu. I’m not a huge fan of those kind of stories, but I love well written characters and an interesting take on fantasy, so I gave it a shot.

If you’re a fan of quietly beautiful storytelling and an intrinsic magic system, Wildwood Whispers might be a good book for you!

Monster Hunter International (#1 & #2) by Larry Correia

October 24, 2021 by Arun Leave a Comment

Monsters are real. But Monster Hunting is [semi] privatized. Enter Monster Hunter International (MHI)! Not all worlds need to be rich and fancy. Sometimes the solution is as simplistically elegant as picking up a gun and shooting a monster in the head. The author describes this as “a conglomeration of B-Movie stereotypes but tackled from the perspective tactical realism” and it’s just that.
