No spoilers in this rapid review of Dark Age. I give it 4.5 stars. Thank you for this masterpiece of a series, Pierce Brown. He describes it as high tech Rome meets space Vikings in the acknowledgements, and this explanation makes me smile. It’s the easiest way to sum up the series for those who…
I received an e-ARC of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. No spoilers in this rapid review of War of Mist by Helen Scheuerer. I really liked it and give it 4.5 stars. This is how you wrap up an epic fantasy series! I’ve been a little let down by…
No spoilers in this review of Off Planet by Aileen Erin. Recently, I listened to a podcast interview with Aileen Erin and was inspired by her author journey. Major publishers didn’t want to print what she was interested in writing, and so she started her own independent publishing company, Ink Monster. Love it! I picked…
No spoilers in this rapid review of Two Dark Reigns by Kendare Blake. I thought it was okay and give it 3 stars. Barely. This series is not one of my favorites. The recaps for Three Dark Crowns and One Dark Throne (books 1 and 2) are popular, though, so that’s why I‘ve stuck with…

To be entirely honest, Scripted Unscripted was the first book I’ve read in a long time from the Realistic Fiction/Contemporary genre, and it was a pleasant…
No spoilers in this rapid review of Ruse by Cindy Pon. I liked it and give it 3.5 stars. It’s easy to tell this isn’t Pon’s first series because of how efficient a storyteller she is. Her prose is crisp and effective, and the entire plot of Ruse is action-packed. Seriously, there’s never a dull…
No spoilers in this review of The Evaporation of Sofi Snow by Mary Weber. If you liked Warcross, you might just like this take on futuristic gaming. Imagine teams of contestants in this competition sitting behind their consoles and programming on-the-spot obstacles for their opponents in a real-life gaming environment. But there’s no avatar performing…
No spoilers in this review of Deathcaster by Cinda Williams Chima. I really liked this book and give it 4.5 stars! I rounded the 4.5 stars down to 4, however, because I didn’t love it as much as The Crimson Crown, the finale of Seven Realms, the predecessor series. Each book in that series was…
No spoilers in this rapid review of The Wicked King by Holly Black. I really liked it and give it 4.25 stars. I try to give quarter star ratings sparingly, but this book seemed to be calling for it. So 4.25 stars it is! 😉 King picks up five months after the end of book…
