Book review: The tower of Gods

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Tomas

The third book of ‘The Lost Prophecy’ series by D.K. Holmberg is leading to the first major showdown of the series while keeping the pace and revealing more pieces of the complex backstory.

Book review: The threat of Madness

Posted on February 7, 2019 by Tomas

After finishing the Teralin Sword series (ending with Soldier Song I read a while ago), I finally got to this book. Despite coming after the Teralin series, the books were released in roughly the same timeframe (through 2017 except Teralin #6) – and I waited with this one until the chronologically first series was complete.

Book review: The Awakening of Dreams

Posted on January 16, 2019 by Tomas

My second new read of 2019 is the end to a trilogy of short fantasy books. It follows two books I’ve read and reviewed back in Summer 2017.

Book review: The Orphans of Haven

Posted on January 6, 2019 by Tomas

Sequel to Drakin: The Story of Raiya I read some two months ago, this book takes place some 10 years later. Among the three candidates, this one “won” when I was choosing what to read first this year.

Book review: The Sigil blade

Posted on December 30, 2018 by Tomas

The last book I’ve read in 2018 is a re-read of the very first self-published book I’ve read, back in 2016. This was a mixed-feelings return, for reasons I’ll mention later.

Book review: The Lies of Locke Lamora

Posted on December 21, 2018 by Tomas

This has been, in a way, a long-awaited read for me. One of the Goodreads group I am part of scheduled it as a re-read for late 2018 and, seeing how highly rated it is, I decided to join.

Not the best idea, in retrospective.

Book review: Drakin, the story of Raiya

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Tomas

After two Sci-Fi books (Jurrasic Park and Resist), I got to read a book that is some kind of a mix of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Another step into the unknown for me – and one that worked for me.

Book review: Resist by M. Van

Posted on October 21, 2018 by Tomas

In April, I first ventured into the waters (more like open space, huh?) of self-published Sci-Fi by reading M. Van’s Recall (review). Now, half a year later, I noticed the second book came out recently and went for it. This review will probably be quite short, as is the book.

Book Review: Jurrasic Park

Posted on October 14, 2018 by Tomas

This is a read that was in the queue for a while – I bought it on sale around the release of the newest movie. Yet, it was something I was considering reading so I went for it.
