The Iron Crown lives up to the hype. It reminds me of the epic fantasy novels that I grew up with. The magic is intriguing and creates a world that is fascinating to discover as the pages rapidly turn. It is engaging, exciting, and many other things. It also has a unique take on dragons that makes it a lot of fun to read and to figure out how it all works out in the grand scheme of things. The characters are beautifully flawed, with each having a weakness to either overcome or succumb to.

Review: Shadowless by Randall McNally
This is a unique ride, full of peril to all of the characters as they look to survive the wrath of the gods and their followers. It takes a lot of my favorite kind of abilities and introduces them in new ways, making for a fun and engaging read. It was nice to feel like each chapter was a finished story, giving a sense of satisfaction at each new chapter.

Review: Sword of Mercy and Wrath (The Swords of Dominion #1) by NC Koussis
Overall, this novel was very entertaining. It is a dark tale that will hit the right notes with readers who like a good werewolf tale full of bloody action fights. There is a lot more history and lore that can be explored, either in the future or from past tales that would explain more about the werewolves.

Review: Alien Advantage by Lorain O’Neil
A fast standalone read, with a normal character trying to outthink the world just so he can be free. It is not science heavy, allowing for all types of readers to enter into its world and find the hope amidst the chaos of a frantic pursuit. It will make readers think about what would happen to them if they happened to be abducted and thrust into a world that was previously hidden to them. Overall, a pretty decent adventure that will keep people guessing right up to the very end.
