Weird Western

Review: Glass Rhapsody (The Songs of Sefate #3) by Sarah Chorn

August 24, 2022 by Craig Bookwyrm Leave a Comment

Glass Rhapsody, and The Songs of Sefate series, has an overriding elegiac quality, with enough glimmers of goodness, hope, joy and love to provide light at the end of the tunnel.

It is impossible to satisfactorily put into words how much I loved this book and series. The empathy I was able to feel with the characters was profound, a direct result of the author’s eloquent and lyrical prose. Sarah Chorn’s prose will cut you deep, leaving your bleeding heart exposed; her prose will permeate your soul, giving rise to a cathartic experience.

Review: Triggernometry and Advanced Triggernometry (Triggernometry #1-2) by Stark Holborn

Gun-slinging mathematicians in an alternate history Wild West shouldn’t work, right? Right? Well, I am here to tell you that it, in fact, does because that’s exactly what we have in Stark Holborn’s two Triggernometry novellas and somehow she manages to make math look cool.

Review: Oh, That Shotgun Sky (The Songs of Sefate #2) by Sarah Chorn

Oh, That Shotgun Sky picks up directly following the events in Of Honey and Wildfires (you can read my review of that here.) We follow a new cast of characters as they try to come to terms with the destruction of the Boundary and their newfound freedom from Shine Company. Like before, Sarah has managed to sift through the weeds of my soul, take hold of my feelings, and completely rip them from my chest. To be fair to the author, I had an idea of what to expect coming in to this fresh out of her previous novel.

Review: Of Honey and Wildfires (The Songs of Sefate #1) by Sarah Chorn

Of Honey and Wildfires is a rather short book, by fantasy standards anyway, weighing in at just over 300 pages. That’s not to say that this is a bad thing. Quite the opposite, in fact, because I don’t think I could have withstood reading much more than that. Let me explain. Generally speaking, I am a bit of a bleeding heart. I will be the first to admit that I cry in almost every movie, books often leave me sobbing, stirring music will move me to tears, and so on. However, this is a book that has moved me beyond my normal emotional response and left me empty; it has scooped out my soul, laid it bare, and revealed all of my insecurities. In other words, I loved it.
