I received an ARC from Netgalley with the option of a voluntary review. I previously reviewed the first in the series, Storm Glass, here – http://bit.ly/2ogMHh8 If you bothered clicking the link, you’ll notice I really liked it. I really liked this one too. “Why four stars instead of five?” you say (conversation may not have happened.) Well, here goes. […]
I received an ARC from Netgalley in return for my honest thought on the novel. The book won’t be released until August 21st and is still in production. Sancia Gadro is Foundryside’s finest thief, but being the best comes at a cost. Sancia has magic powers, powers that elevate her above her rivals. She has a form of magic, both […]
This is the third instalment of the author’s inter-dimensional tale, and while it slips a little (at least for me), it is still well worth reading. The plot follows (mostly) Infinity, a former MMA-fighter turned bridger. Having discovered an alien message giving details of a technology that creates “bridges” between parallel Earths, a company by the name of Safetrek jumps […]
The author gave me a free copy of the audiobook. However, the review was voluntary. Lucifer’s Nebula, the sequel to Lucifer’s Star, which I reviewed here – (http://bit.ly/2BJ3wLb), carries on the story of the Author’s “dark Star Wars,” as it’s often referred to. Cassius, the hero, is a former evil noble turned arms dealer (you’ll see). He’s like a boozy, […]
I’ve been a fan of Gemmell for years. I’ve been a fan of the Iliad for years. Having a more prosaic version of the Iliad written by one of my favourite writers sounds like a match made in heaven. Right? It’s right. Lord of the Silver Bow tells the story of the Iliad from the perspective of the Trojans (for the […]
I hmmed and hawed about this one, Should I do five best authors, should I go with books, or do I go outside and do something less boring instead (anyone remember that reference?). I decided to go with the books because, well, I read a lot self-pub books, probably somewhere around 70% of my reads. So, there was plenty of […]
Seems to have taken a bit longer to get this one out, although in my defence I have been working some more on my own short stories (yay!). Anyways, audiobooks are a funny thing. You could listen to the finest story ever written, and if the narrator sucks, you probably won’t bother listening to the end. When they’re good though, […]
As promised last week during my favourite books piece, I’m going to bring you my five favourite short stories of the year so far. I read quite a few shorts, usually as a chaser for a longer story, but I also listen to quite a few too. If you like audio, I recommend you check out Audfans and Audiobookboom, both […]
Greetings readers, So you probably know from here or my social media thingys that I read a lot. Now with the Burkelings both at elementary school, I have some free time during the day (don’t tell my wife though) to catch up on all the great books I’ve missed over the last eight years or so. This year I set […]
So some of you may be wandering if I’m ever going to write another book. The answer is, well, I’m currently writing several. I know there was a lot of talk from me about releasing something last year, but for no real good reason, it never happened. So, you ask, what the heck have you been doing? Well, lots of […]
