Review: Light Of The Jedi (Star Wars: The High Republic) by Charles Soule

June 27, 2022 by Naty (NatyReadsBooks) Leave a Comment

I was really excited to start my Star Wars journey this year. I set myself a goal, and it was to read (or attempt) to read all canon Star Wars books this year or for as long as it takes me because I am a slow reader. I found a list on Wookipedia that gave me the perfect order to follow and started with Light Of The Jedi.

Review: Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles #1) by Kevin Hearne

June 24, 2022 by Justin Gross Leave a Comment

I’ll admit that urban fantasy is one of the genres of speculative fiction that I am the least familiar with. For the longest time, I would see the covers in bookstores and just assume that they were like the fantasy romance novels that I grew up watching my grandmother tear through, one after another. I have since learned that this is not (always) the case. While undoubtedly Hearne’s most popular series, I initially found him through The Tales of Pell, a trilogy that he co-authored with Delilah Dawson, and then his epic fantasy series The Seven Kennings (both of which I actually liked more than Hounded).

Review: The Warded Man (Demon Cycle #1) by Peter V. Brett

June 24, 2022 by Justin Gross Leave a Comment

The Warded Man, published as The Painted Man in the UK, is one of the best epic fantasy books that I have read in a long time. Like most of the things I read, for one reason or another I put off reading this one entirely too long. Because of my manic compulsion to buy everything I see that even remotely piques my interest, I bought this book several years ago and it has languished in my TBR ever since. What renewed my interest in the series was, believe it or not, my manic compulsion to… you get the idea. Grim Oak Press, a small, independent publisher specializing in high quality, collectible editions of books, announced their intentions to produce a limited edition of The Warded Man and the only way I could justify spending that much money on a single book was if I really liked it. So, with the only option being to read it, I eagerly set myself to my task. Boy, was I not disappointed.
