Traveling Cloak’s Top 10 Reads of 2021

January 7, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) 1 Comment

Hi, book friends! Welcome to my 2021 Top 10 List. This is always a difficult post for me to write, because I feel like I read so many great books, and I do not want to leave any out. But, life is about choices, so I have done my best.

According to Goodreads, I clocked 24 five-star reads in 2021, so I had to make some tough decisions. I decided to keep it to 10 so the post is not too long.Some of those books, though, are from the same series, so I have give those one line instead of having them take up 2 or 3 spots. Also, these are books I read in 2021, regardless of release date. Now, let’s get to the fun stuff: here are my Top 10 books I read in 2021!

Filed Under: Blog Posts, List Tagged With: Brian Naslund, David Dalglish, J.S. Dewes, Jenn Lyons, Jin Yong, M.R. Carey, Martha Wells, Megan E. O'Keefe, Orbit, Rebellion, Ryan Van Loan, St. Martins, Thilde Kold Holdt, Tor

Review: The Justice in Revenge (The Fall of the Gods #2) by Ryan Van Loan

August 24, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Justice in Revenge is the second installment in Ryan Van Loan’s The Fall of the Gods series, and if you want to know more about book 1 (The Sin in the Steel) you can find my review at this link. Suffice to say, I thought it quite a jaunt and found myself really looking forward to book 2. Now that it is here I can say with confidence: The Justice in Revenge does not disappoint.
