Book review: Defiant ruin

Posted on May 9, 2021 by Tomas

My Sci-Fi detour ends with the third – and final – book of Marie Andreas’ AsarlaĆ­ wars trilogy, Defiant ruin. And, before you ask, yes, it’s names after a spaceship, as the previous books. Now on to the review…

Book review: Victorious dead

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Tomas

My Sci-fi detour, started with the Warrior Wench, continues with the second book, Victorious dead. Which keeps the pace of the first book, being an action-packed and fast-paced story.

Book review: Warrior Wench

Posted on April 13, 2021 by Tomas

I’ve made a quick detour from fantasy books, taking up a fast-paced Sci-Fi book that promised lighthearted but serious story. And it worked for me.

Book review: Augury answered

Posted on April 7, 2021 by Tomas

The next book I’ve chosen to read was a fantasy that combined viking and native American inspiration. A fast-paced and somewhat violent story with an unexpected ending.

Book review: Scions of the Black Lotus (collection)

Posted on March 23, 2021 by Tomas

My continuation with J.C. Kang’s fantasy world led me to this collection of shorter stories, though this “collection” acts pretty much as a single 800-page story as the individual stories folow one right into another.

Book review: Crown of the Sundered Empire

Posted on February 21, 2021 by Tomas

Continuing where Masters of Deception left off, this side-series of JC Kang’s fantasy series took me for another fast-paced story with no shortage of action, twists, and humor.

Book review: Masters of Deception

Posted on February 14, 2021 by Tomas

While the fourth book of J.C. Kang’s Dragon Song series is down due to being re-pusblished, I delved into one of the side-stories. And as this one has a major focus on Jie the half-elf spy, I was in for an action-packed story, though the world’s politics still played a major part.

Book review: Blackbirch #1

Posted on January 27, 2021 by Tomas

After devouring a 700-page book in a week, I jumped straight into another. This time, the first book in K. M. Allan‘s Blackbirch series. This was a bit farther from my usual reads, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Book review: Dances of deception

Posted on January 24, 2021 by Tomas

After a reading break that was longer than intended, I returned to JC Kang’s Dragon Songs series, with the third book. Despite being quite a long read, I managed to read the book in a week.

Book review: Orchestra of treacheries

Posted on December 13, 2020 by Tomas

After Songs of Insurrection, I’ve went to read the second book in the original series instead of the side-story happening chronologically between them. And while it follows organically, the themes shift in this book.
