Interview: Essa Hansen, author of The Graven series

November 17, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Also, big shoutout to Essa on Nophek Gloss (The Graven #1) being TBB’s Book of the Month for November. Purchase your very own signed bookplate edition @ The Broken Binding. […]

Review: Nophek Gloss (The Graven #1) by Essa Hansen

June 30, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Nophek Gloss is Essa Hansen’s debut and the first in the author’s The Graven series. I have seen some categorize this book as Space Opera, but I do not see the sweeping elements one normally finds in a book characterized as such. In my opinion, this is just good Science Fiction. The caveat to this statement is twofold: 1) I am not very good at labeling sub-genres, and 2) Sometimes with SciFi it is the second book in the series that really develops the epic scope that can broaden the horizons to push the series into Space Opera territory. So, I will reserve final judgement for now, but know that this is the context into which my review is framed.
