Review: The Book of Gothel by Mary McMyne

August 10, 2022 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

The Book of Gothel is beautifully woven, and full of depth and compassion. It’s adventurous, and manages to be classic and modern all at once, giving life to Mother Gothel.

Review: The Ballad of Perilous Graves by Alex Jennings

July 30, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

The Ballad of Perilous Graves is one of those books that has left me a bit conflicted. On one hand, the worldbuilding is so damn rich, the characters are fun and the incorporation of music into Jennings’ magical realization of New Orleans is impressive. On the other hand, the writing style is tricky to grasp, the pacing is inconsistent and action scenes are downright confusing. That said, there is so much rich imagination and passion in this novel, that New Orleans (or Nola) will surely get you dancin’.

Review: Eversion by Alastair Reynolds

July 12, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Alastair Reynolds is a sci-fi author who is typically at the top of the genre lists when looking at the best of modern sci-fi. I read his first book in the Revelation Space universe and found it enjoyable but was not particularly compelled to keep reading. I’ve been wanting to give his work another shot (that was his first published novel after all) and when I saw Eversion was a shorter standalone novel, I had the perfect opportunity.

Review: For The Throne (Wilderwood #2) by Hannah Whitten

June 22, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

For The Throne really is everything you wish for in a sequel/series conclusion, in that it wraps up all the threads in a satisfying manner that isn’t necessarily what you’d expect, it honors already established characters while also giving the right amount of space to the ones who are now the main focus and, it does all that by improving on all that worked well before to make it even better.

Review: Shards of Earth (The Final Architects Trilogy #1) by Adrian Tchaikovsky

June 6, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

I’m a big Adrian Tchaikovsky fan. Children of Time is a modern classic and stands as my favorite sci-fi novel of all time while Cage of Souls is a vastly underrated and incredible novel. Tchaikovsky’s works are always incredibly innovative and creative. From Elder Race (a fun novella which mixes fantasy and sci-fi) to his Shadows of the Apt series (a fantasy book with insect type races which I need to read more of) there’s always some interesting worldbuilding and fascinating ideas going on – and Shards of the Earth is no exception.

Review: The Martyr (The Covenant of Steel #2) by Anthony Ryan

May 20, 2022 by Dale Leave a Comment

As far as I’m concerned Anthony wrote what I would class as a perfect fantasy book and its an easy 10/10 for me.

The cover of The Memory of the Ogisi by Moses Ose Utomi. The image shows a brown building with large green hands hovering over it at the top. At the bottom of the image, a shadowed figure walks through a desert with some trees. This bottom portion of the image is upside down. The tile of the book overlaps the image in green block letters.
