Series Review: The Age of Madness by Joe Abercrombie

October 22, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Age of Madness series consists of three books: A Little Hatred, The Trouble with Peace, The Wisdom of Crowds. It is also part of Joe Abercrombie’s First Law universe, but it is hard for me to place exactly when this story takes place in relation to the rest because it was a very long time ago that I read them. Suffice to say, though, The Age of Madness fits perfectly within Abercrombie’s grimdark theater.

Review: The Living Waters (Weirdwater Confluence #1) by Dan Fitzgerald

October 21, 2021 by Justin 4 Comments

The Living Waters is the first in a new duology from Dan Fitzgerald, the author of The Maer Cycle trilogy of books. I haven’t read his other series, but they are now definitely being shuffled closer to the top of my TBR, as The Living Waters grabbed ahold of my heart from the first page and didn’t let go. It’s a story bursting at the seams with adventure, wonder, and heart, and it’s one that has catapulted itself to the top of my favorite reads this year.

Review: The Last House on The Needless Street by Catriona Ward

October 21, 2021 by Manny Henri 1 Comment

I’ll conclude by saying that I really relished this book for what it was, and if you’re seeking a thriller wrapped in a mystery with a slight dash of supernatural, you’ll find a home in The Last House on Needless Street.

Review: Among Thieves by M.J. Kuhn

October 20, 2021 by Justin 2 Comments

Among Thieves is the debut novel from author M.J. Kuhn, but you’d never guess that from reading it. Among Thieves is a slick heist novel centered around a group of outlaws planning and attempting the heist of a priceless object from the one place in the world that may be impossible to burgle and the last man in the world they’d wish to piss off. What follows is a story chock full of adventure, mayhem, and snark. I’m so angry that I sat on this ARC for so long!

Review: Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo

October 19, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) 2 Comments

I have had a copy of Summer Sons in my possession for quite some time, but I was waiting until spooky season to read it. I wanted to ensure I had a few reads ready that would really put me in the mood. All in, from the cover to the story and writing, Summer Sons definitely fits the bill.

Review: The Shadow of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Saga #1) by John Gwynne

October 18, 2021 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Gwynne has seriously delivered in this epic beardy saga. All three of his protagonists would warrant their own separate story, so their three spectacular narratives entwine into a true behemoth of a book.

Review: Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee

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

While I have been eyeing the author’s book for a long time, this is my first Yoon Ha Lee read. I was drawn in by the cool dragon on the cover, and a synopsis that sounded unique and interesting. In my opinion Phoenix Extravagant lives up to that billing.

Review: The Liar of Red Valley by W.L. Goodwater

Review: Trashlands by Alison Stine

October 13, 2021 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

Alison Stine’s debut novel Road Out of Winter was a great read, but Trashlands built upon that groundwork and ran with it in mesmerizing ways. In the desolate environs of a junkyard, Stine has evoked raw, honest humanity, the connective tissue of community, love, heartbreak, perseverance and the notion that optimism can exist in a place such as this.

Review – Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons (A Miss Percy Guide #1) by Quenby Olson

October 12, 2021 by C. M. Caplan 1 Comment

Synopsis Miss Mildred Percy inherits a dragon. Ah, but we’ve already got ahead of ourselves… Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a […]

Review: Sistersong by Lucy Holland

October 12, 2021 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

Sistersong by Lucy Holland is heartbreakingly beautiful. I had never heard of ‘The Twa Sisters’ murder folk ballad but looked it up after I finished reading. Sistersong proved to be as evocative as the ballad is.

Book Tour: Shadow Shinjuku by Ryu Takeshi

October 12, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) 6 Comments

Shadow Shinjuku is a Japanese crime thriller and Ryu Takeshi’s first published novel. It is so interesting that the synopsis mentions noir, as well, because that was the vibe I got while reading it. I found the combination of urban fantasy, crime noir, and thriller to be fascinating. The book also has some supernatural elements, too, so it is hard to nail this book down to one genre.
