Blog Tour Review: A Shade of Madness (The Ashes of Avarin #2) by Thiago Abdalla
A fantastic debut in what is one of the most promising series that is being written. The careful consideration that has been taken to all of the small details allows for so many theories to be created, as well as allow for new discoveries each time that it is read. Strap in and prepare for a griffin takeoff into the wonderful world of Avarin, where the Madness is just beginning.
SPSFC Review: Of Mycelium and Men (The Biomass Conflux #1) by William C. Tracy
This book has a lot of very interesting ideas and approaches the colonization of a planet in a very good way. The technical aspects of the book are very well thought out and make a lot of sense in the worldbuilding that takes place throughout the novel. The different castes are also unique and are done well with a divisiveness that adds a lot to the overall story. The passage of time is pretty large and it does jump between a lot of characters, within a pretty short book for what it tries to accomplish.
Review: The Bleeding Stone (The Spellbinders and the Gunslingers #1) by Joseph John Lee
This is a fantasy novel that is different from typical fantasy novels in all the good ways. It is fascinating, heartbreakingly emotional, exciting, political, and a solidly great book! It will take a reader on a ride while at the same time making them reflect on some of the choices they might personally make in their own lives. It is one that I know will make me think about it for many days into the future.
SPSFC Review: Those Left Behind (The Waystations Trilogy #1) by N.C. Scrimgeour
Those Left Behind will be the sci fi novel that will keep readers reading late into the night. With new creatures, crazy technology, and a mystery about the Waygates, there’s something for everyone. This is a series that I look forward to continuing and discovering more of what it has to offer. This will be a sci fi that can be treasured with some of the great ones.
Review: The Last Ranger (Ranger of the Titan Wilds #1) by J.D.L. Rosell
A beautiful world filled with beautiful characters. The Titan Wilds became a place so familiar because of my love of nature and forests but had that excellent fantasy element to make it something truly unique. The author does an excellent job of showing this world from the early get go, allowing it to become almost an essential character of this series. It was exciting and breath taking at the scope that the author was able to show.
SPSFC Review: The Drift by Casie Aufenthie
This is a book that is a lot different than what I would typically read but it was an enjoyable one. The romantic plot is a strong plot point through the novel and it is done well, letting it naturally come. The action scenes took me by surprise and were extremely fun to read. An entertaining good read full of heart and characters that are trying to survive in an oppressive world. The book is well written and fans of sci fi romance will definitely find this a great read.
Review: Light Fighters (Star Children Saga #2) by Palmer Pickering
The author takes everything from book one and continues to make it even better. The story picks up immediately where it should, in the middle of the action cliffhanger that was book one. It continues to flesh out the world, answering questions and setting up everything for a saga that promises to remain in the minds of readers. As the story continues to unfold, you can see the planning and care that the author has taken in crafting what is turning out to be a beautiful world or universe. Each floating strand from book one is carefully grabbed and meticulously placed to continue the story being woven in front of us.
Review: Bone Shroud (Kallatian Saga #2) by Andrew D Meredith
Amazing. Incredible. Jaw dropping. All terms that can be used to describe this novel and yet at the same time they do not do it justice. The author does a fantastic job of enriching the world in every way imaginable, as I often say, every grain of sand has been meticulously placed with the utmost care. The intrigue, the characters, the world are all enhanced in every single way. The pace is definitely ramped up, creating a dynamic that will force the reader to begin to choose sides.
Review: Wolfeater (Tale of the Grey Crow) by Anthony Mitchell
This is a novel that most fantasy readers will fall in love with. The world is incredible but also very real. There is not a heavy dose of magic, but what is mentioned is also a tease of what else could be. Prepare the supplies, grab the blankets and protect yourself from the cold with a great read that will keep you glued to the pages even after the end has been reached. Highly recommended!!
Review: Phased by Victoria Tecken
Phased is a great take of an Urban Fantasy, focusing on the mental strains of werewolf sisters. The world is well thought out, allowing for a dynamic between the characters that allows it to be fresh and interesting. It was great to read a werewolf story that was not primarily focused on a love triangle or other similar trope. The focus of the book is on the mental strain of the characters, with a variety of different takes on something that has a lot of meaning to all of us. The emotions of the characters play a prominent role and are well thought out in each scene.
Review: Curse of the Fallen (Fallen Light #1) by H.C. Newell
This book will cater to many different types of readers. Dark, adventurous, and characters to root for all add up to one amazing read. It is also a book that allows for speculation and theories, causing me to think about the book for a long time. This is a series that holds a lot of promise, with sequels available to immediately dive into. Needless to say, I highly recommend this one for an exciting adventure that will stay with you for days to come.
