WARSHIP JOLLY ROGER BOOK 1: NO TURNING BACK – graphic novel
This looked interesting to me, hence my requesting an ARC, but I’d have to admit that I didn’t have the highest of hopes for the book. Something about it just gave me a feeling of being a bit ‘cheesy’ or too much of a cartoon. But I did get caught up in the story and… Continue reading

MARVEL’S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: CASTAWAYS – David McDonald
I have enjoyed a lot of novels based on comic book characters – I’ve definitely enjoyed more than I haven’t – and so I look forward to books like this, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Castaways, which tie in to comics and movies. Add the fact that it is targeted toward younger readers and I… Continue reading

AN ACCIDENT OF STARS – Foz Meadows
** WARNING — POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD ** I discovered a new term (to me) for a more specific genre than simply “fantasy” which describes this book. This is a ‘portal fantasy’ – one in which someone from today goes through a portal into another dimension or another world (either accidentally or knowingly). I don’t have… Continue reading

THE CONCLAVE OF SHADOW – Alyc Helms
I wasn’t a huge fan of the first book in this series (see review here) but I found it intriguing and compelling enough to give it another shot. I do think that The Conclave of Shadow steps it up a notch, but is plagued by the same problems that I had with book one. I… Continue reading

THE FOUNDRY’S EDGE – Cam Baity & Benny Zelkowicz
On the surface, this book sounds like it should be a run-away best-seller. Set slightly in the future, or perhaps in an alternate universe, Phoebe Plumm and Micah Tanner live in Meridian. Phoebe’s father, Dr. Jules Plumm is the Chief Surveyor for The Foundry – a major corporation that has a monopoly on technology. But… Continue reading

SUMMERLONG – Peter S. Beagle
Some authors have a lot of pressure placed on them, usually due to a giant success at some point. Peter S. Beagle is one of those authors, thanks to his book The Last Unicorn (which was first published back in 1968!). Any book published by Beagle will always be much-anticipated and compared to Unicorn. As… Continue reading

THE ACCIDENTAL TIME TRAVELLER – Janis Mackay
The Accidental Time Traveller, by Janis Mackay, is a simple, often fun, sometimes educational, sometimes slow story for younger readers. Saul is a young boy from the present, in Great Britain. One day he meets a young girl who is quite different. Her name is Agatha. Agatha Black is from 1813 and is somehow (we… Continue reading

BLADES OF THE OLD EMPIRE – Anna Kashina
There are about five reviewers I follow (and who, in turn, follow me) on Goodreads, whose choice in books and ratings are very similar to my own. I have been sitting on the ARC of this particular book for a couple of years, somewhat hesitant to get in to it, in part because one of… Continue reading

NEIL GAIMAN’S TROLL BRIDGE – graphic novel
Neil Gaiman writes about children coming of age in a dark and mysterious world better than anyone ever has before. Troll Bridge is a deceptively simple, but tremendously powerful modern fairy tale in which our narrator encounters a troll while a young boy enjoying the outdoors. Though the troll hopes to eat the boy, the… Continue reading

KING OF THE CRACKSMEN – Dennis O’Flaherty
Although billed as a steampunk novel, King of the Cracksmen by Dennis O’Flaherty is more in line with being an Alternative History sci-fi book than a straight up steampunk novel. It is 1877 and Abraham Lincoln is still the U.S. President as he’s never been assassinated. But Lincoln hasn’t been seen for many months, so… Continue reading

MONSTRESS #5 & #6 – graphic novel/comic
I absolutely love how this story is developing. For those of us used to reading the longer format (graphic novel), reading this as individual comics gets frustrating because it is over so quickly. Still, writer Marjorie Liu manages to pack a lot of information and story build into a short space. In this issue we… Continue reading
