• The Diamond Throne by David Eddings is the first of three in his Elenium series. Published in the 90s, I’ve read that this series has been heralded as a classic by many and was the author’s claim to fame. I was looking for my next political fantasy book/series when I stumbled upon this series in…

  • Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton is a stand-alone science fiction novel that, although can be considered dystopian or post-apocalyptic by some, really goes over what would happen when a lonesome old astronomer and a crew of returning astronauts from a space exploration mission discovers that all contact with humans on Earth has been ceased.…

  • Talion: Revenant by Michale A. Stackpole is a standalone fantasy book. There will always be times when a person can take so much of something before being forced to take a break. After having continuously read fantasy books in a series, I decided it was time again to take a no-commitment approach. I didn’t want…

  • Fall of Light by Steven Erikson is the second book in his Kharkanas Trilogy set. It might be a fault of mine by diving straight into Fall of Light after having read Forge of Darkness because I’ve come away extremely exhausted. So much in fact that I’m thinking of quitting the series. As I noted…

  • Forge of Darkness by Steven Erikson is the first of The Kharkanas Trilogy set. Just what have I gotten myself into? To summarize, I was never a fan of the Malazan series although that barely counts for anything since I’ve quit reading Gardens of the Moon at around the 40% mark. I’ve never cared for…

  • The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin is the first of her Broken Earth series. If you didn’t know by now, this book is the winner of the 2016 Hugo Award, something that the author is definitely proud of I’m sure. Prior to reading The Fifth Season, I had no idea who the author is. No…

  • The Short Drop by Matthew Fitzsimmons is one of those books that got pretty popular with thousands of reviews on Amazon yet I have no idea how. It’s really one of those things that is so mysterious to me but when I saw it on sale for $1.99, I quickly swiped it up. Everyone needs…

  • Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley is the Arthurian legend retold in its full glory but this time around, it’s told through the eyes of the women behind the story. I’m sure a lot of people are familiar with the legend of King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table. Characters such as…

  • Weavers of War by David B. Coe is the fifth and final book in the Winds of the Forelands series. It’s been a long journey but finally, I made it to the end. As expected, this book is the most action oriented out of the bunch and I’m even going to say that it has…

  • Shapers of Darkness by David B. Coe is the fourth book in the Winds of the Forelands series. After being disappointed with Bonds of Vengeance, I am happy to say that Shapers of Darkness provided the redemption I was hoping for. This was the book I was actually expecting in book three. Everything from the…
