Review: The Helm of Midnight (The Five Penalties #1) by Marina J. Lostetter

May 7, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Helm of Midnight is the first in Marina Lostetter’s The Five Penalties Series, and the author’s first fantasy novel, according to her bio in the back of the book. I love the premise of this book, and, while in the end it did not keep my interest as much as I had hoped, Lostetter definitely showed off her writing chops.

Review: Fugitive Telemetry (and previous 4 books) by Martha Wells

April 14, 2021 by Manny Henri Leave a Comment

n the end, I truly enjoyed Fugitive Telemetry and the previous four books, but not as science-fiction literature or its robot-driven narrative, but truly for its exploration on human nature and its reflection from the perspective of a rich-humanized robot.

Review: Mistborn (Book 1) by Brandon Sanderson

March 11, 2021 by Manny Henri Leave a Comment

Reading Mistborn, formerly known as The Final Empire or book one of the Mistborn series, felt like arriving late at a party when everyone’s drunk—like I had missed out on something special! I bought the Era one trilogy a few years back and never got to it until now, and man was I missing out on the kool-aid. This book took all my expectations, put them in a blender with a high dose of sugar and hit frappe. I haven’t been that much engaged in a book since I read the Harry Potter series.

Review: The Last Watch (The Divide #1) by J.S. Dewes

March 1, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Last Watch by J.S. Dewes is as spectacular a science fiction story as one is going to find. From a plot that is full of drama to amazing characters that are relatable and interesting, all over a backdrop of a futuristic space setting, The Last Watch is nearly flawless.
