Book review: Chosen

Posted on March 24, 2024 by Tomas

The second book of the Prophecy Rock trilogy sees both sides face a different set of challenges, but the war won’t stop just yet.

Posted on February 11, 2024 by Tomas

My last read of 2023 (yes, I only now got to write the review) was a return to Sci-Fi. A spin-off of a trilogy I’ve read a couple of years ago.

Book review: The Raven Queen

Posted on August 20, 2023 by Tomas

The second book of the Storyweaver series, compared to the usual, starts with a time gap – and a false sense of calm that changes later than I expected, but quite abruptly.

Book review: The Pale Princess

Posted on July 23, 2023 by Tomas

After a couple of years since my last time, I returned to one of the big names among self-published fantasy authors, D. K. Holmberg. With it starts a journey of mystery…

Book review: The Sorcerer Knight

Posted on June 25, 2023 by Tomas

The first book in the Kingshield Knights series left me with mixed feelings, but I went on with the second book to see if it improves. Let’s have a look…
