Of Darkness and Light(The Bound and the Broken #2) by Ryan Cahill

December 13, 2021 by Dale Leave a Comment

All in all, Of Darkness and Light was an incredible book that had me gripped from page one, all the way to the last page two days later. Cahill is absolutely going to keep on getting better with each book that he puts out and I can’t wait to see what happens in book three and even where he goes after he finishes with The Bound and the Broken.

Review: Of Darkness and Light (The Bound and the Broken #2) by Ryan Cahill

December 13, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Of Darkness and Light is the second install in Ryan Cahill’s The Bound and the Broken series, and it is a book in which the author dramatically expands in all aspects versus book 1. The storyline has much more suspense and conflict, the character set is expanded, the characters also grow significantly, the world building is grander, and the pace is improved, as well. Of Darkness and Light is truly epic.

Review: The Pariah (The Covenant of Steel #1) by Anthony Ryan

December 11, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The Pariah is the opening act in The Covenant of Steel series and what an opening it is! We follow Alwyn Scribe in first person, as he shares with the reader his tale through the benefit of hindsight. I’ve grown really fond of this type of narrator over the years because, especially if the attitude is right, it makes for some really fun reading, rife with asides and commentary that add a certain dimension to the story that, be it because of ominous foreshadowing or amusing snark, sass, or dry humor, regularly gives you a solid chuckle. The Pariah had all of that and more.

Review: Leviathan Falls (The Expanse #9) by James S.A. Corey

December 9, 2021 by Arun 5 Comments

A good closure to one of the best sci-fi series of all time, but not really a satisfying read.

Review: The Justice of Kings (Empire of the Wolf #1) by Richard Swan

December 9, 2021 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

The Justice of Kings is a triumph, a marvel that has placed courtrooms and wordplay as epic a battle as legions of men versus beasts ever were; with intrigue laced into every word of Helena’s tell-all tale of justice, and the lengths a single man will go to mete it out, the Justice of Kings is a tale above them all? When I say I enjoyed this book, it is the biggest understatement I’ve made this year.

Review: Of Blood and Fire (The Bound and the Broken #1) by Ryan Cahill

December 9, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Of Blood and Fire is the first in The Bound and the Broken series and author Ryan Cahill’s first novel. I walked away impressed with Cahill’s storytelling ability, world building proficiency, skill in developing characters, and detailed descriptions. I liked this book a lot and see a lot of potential for the rest of the series.

Review: The Fall (The Bound and the Broken #0.5) by Ryan Cahill

December 6, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Fall is a prequel novella related to Ryan Cahill’s The Bound and the Broken series. It takes place approximately 400 years before the events of book 1, Of Blood and Fire, and highlights a big event in the history of Epheria that is mentioned several times in Of Blood and Fire and continues to impact current events.
