Speculative Fiction Reviews for my Ever Increasing SFF TBR Pile
A Veil of Spears continues the fantastical excitement I’ve grown to expect from this series, starting immediately from where With Blood Upon the Sand left off. If ever there was an under read, under recommended series, I really think this is it. It has so much to offer and is so well written, I am always surprised I don’t hear it discussed...
Thanks to Anna Smith Spark for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. With all the new releases out there, sometimes I miss out on reading a book that gets a lot of praise from people I trust,...
Soul of the World is a good debut that sets the stage for an epic, world spanning series featuring magic, fantastical creatures and beasts. Three very different perspectives are used to give us the world view, which features a new and an old world, and while there are different names, it feels much like England, France and the Americas. Aruk’Jar...
Assassin’s Fate is an emotional roller-coaster of a book that is heartbreaking, bittersweet and absolutely perfect. This book is not just a perfect ending to The Fitz and Fool trilogy, but also to The Realm of the Elderlings series so far. So much so, that my only negative reaction is fear that there may not be another series in this...
The Shattered Sands trilogy was by far one of my favorite finds of last year. With Blood Upon the Sand continues to deepen the intrigue and entanglements, and displays the harsh desert environment is not the only thing to fear in Sharakhai. It will also take your emotions and bend them to its will, ripping them through fear to excitement,...
N. K. Jemisin is certainly a gifted story teller, and the world she is crafting in The Broken Earth series is fascinating. This second installment gives readers a better understanding of both the magic and the world, it advances the plot and lets you start to speculate on where the story might go next, and how the trilogy could end...
Black Wolves may be a daunting read as it is a massive book and I know sometimes readers are deterred by that. The thing is, though, it is also a massively impressive book. Scaling it down would be a disservice to the story and quite honestly the story deserves to be read. I have not formulated my ‘best of the year’...
Battlemage is a bloody battle ridden book that is fun in the familiarities and interesting for its differences. It is a classic good versus evil story, complete with a mad emperor, religious zealots and lots of battles. Like, lots of battles. The story is told through three points of view, each providing a unique vantage point giving the reader the inside...
The Fifth Season is a book that is not obvious in its strengths until you read it through to the end. Don’t get me wrong, this is a book that had me hooked from the beginning, but one that I felt even more appreciation for after finishing and seeing how the multiple storylines tied together. This is a book that...
A Crown for Cold Silver is bloody, dark and wonderfully witty. It is packed with action, suspense, plots for power. Oh, and of course, the massacre that kicks off the book. I’ll be honest. This is one of those books that is hard to keep track of, particularly in the beginning. If I hadn’t seen this mentioned elsewhere, perhaps I...
