SFF Addicts Ep. 16: Dragons! (with Evan Winter, Ryan Cahill, Quenby Olson, Brian Naslund & Kerstin Espinosa Rosero)

March 22, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

Join host Adrian M. Gibson and authors Evan Winter, Ryan Cahill, Quenby Olson, Brian Naslund and Kerstin Espinosa Rosero as they delve into the mysterious and magical world of dragons. During the panel they discuss their personal histories with dragons, fresh and modern representations of the creature, dragon tropes and motifs and much more. There was also a solid twenty minutes or so towards the end where each panelist offers up amazing writing advice for the aspiring and working authors out there. Side note: this panel was beautiful chaos, featuring many mic drops, dick jokes (just the words, not actual jokes), crotch biting references and more.

Five Reads for 2022

January 14, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

It has become a bit of a tradition for me to post a list of five of the books I am looking forward to in the coming year (though, in this case, as I am a little late getting it written – it is actually books for this year). The list of phenomenal books being released in 2022 is endless, so choosing five is so hard. But, here it goes: Five Reads for 2022 (BE WARE: some synopsis may contain spoilers for previous books).

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

December 29, 2021 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

For me personally Of Darkness and Light could have been 900 pages longer and it wouldn’t have mattered. It’s that epically good.

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

December 15, 2021 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

Arrows whoosh. Fire burns. Hearts beat. Blood pumps, spills; the start of Darkness and Light is visceral like the Fall, but this situation seems entirely worse. What starts in fire and loss end in complete darkness with a singular ray of light that is the exciting, jaw-dropping cliff-hanger that rounds off such an expansive novel. It lifts the lid on the story that started with Of Blood and Fire. The Dragonguard and the imperial army descend upon one boy and his adolescent dragon. The night holds its breath as we wait for the fires to come …

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: 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.
