This review’s been long in coming, but I’m finally getting to it. It’s always harder to do reviews when it’s been some time since I read the book, but I haven’t forgotten anything major. Full disclosure before I begin, I am friends with Jon del Arroz, the author of For Steam and Country. However, that didn’tContinue reading “Book Review: For Steam and Country”

Book Review: Nethereal by Brian Niemeier
Before we begin, I should disclose that I have had numerous positive interactions with Brian Niemeier, ranging from Twitter conversations, to getting very helpful advice relating to self-publishing, and I was a guest on the Geek Gab podcast, on which he is a co-host. Disclosure out of the way, on to the book, which IContinue reading “Book Review: Nethereal by Brian Niemeier”
Book Review: The Crimson Campaign by Brian McClellan (spoilers)
Well it’s about time I got to reviewing this book. I’ve actually read it twice now; the first was more than half a year ago, but I never got around to writing a review. As the time passed, and I picked up my copy of the third book in the Powder Mage Trilogy, The AutumnContinue reading “Book Review: The Crimson Campaign by Brian McClellan (spoilers)”
Book Review: The Providence of Fire by Brian Stavely (spoilers)
Time for another delayed review (though only slightly this time.) I’d actually put off reading this book until I got the other delayed reviews finished, but I still didn’t end up getting it done on time. Still, here we are. ( I don’t have the book in front of me at the moment, so pleaseContinue reading “Book Review: The Providence of Fire by Brian Stavely (spoilers)”
Book Review: Shadow Ops: Breach Zone, by Myke Cole (spoilers)
Another of my delayed reviews (nearing the end of those; only 1 more to go before I am more or less up to date). Hopefully, the fact that it’s been a while won’t have too much of a negative impact here (also I’m currently in Israel, without the book, so there’s that.). Otherwise, I’ll beContinue reading “Book Review: Shadow Ops: Breach Zone, by Myke Cole (spoilers)”
Book Review: Tome of the Undergates, By Sam Sykes
So…this review is a bit delayed, (well, more than a bit), as is my return to actually posting things here. I’d blame a combination of school work (nearing the end of my Master’s program) and focusing on my fiction (been querying a lot as well as working on a couple of books at different stagesContinue reading “Book Review: Tome of the Undergates, By Sam Sykes”
Book Review: Shadow Ops: Fortress Frontier, By Myke Cole (Possible spoilers)
After far too long, I finally got my hands on Myke Cole’s Shadow Ops: Fortress Frontier, the second book in the series. As expected, I greatly enjoyed it, and had a very hard time putting it down. (Though I probably should note that I might be a tiny bit biased, since Myke is an awesomeContinue reading “Book Review: Shadow Ops: Fortress Frontier, By Myke Cole (Possible spoilers)”
Book Review: Thieftaker, By D. B. Jackson (Spoilers)
Continuing my summer reading binge, I recently finished reading D. B. Jackson’s Thieftaker, the first in a series of historical urban fantasy novels. Now, a little bit of background as to how I ended up reading this book. I actually met D. B. Jackson (also known as David B. Coe) at JordanCon several years agoContinue reading “Book Review: Thieftaker, By D. B. Jackson (Spoilers)”
Book Review: The Emperor’s Blades by Brian Staveley (Major Spoilers)
(Quick preface: I originally started writing this post a couple months back, just after finishing the book, but lacked the time to properly put together the entire post. Don’t think my thoughts have changed much at all, and hopefully I don’t make any dumb mistakes. The review intro is also a bit outdated, but IContinue reading “Book Review: The Emperor’s Blades by Brian Staveley (Major Spoilers)”
Book Review: Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan (Spoilers)
Promise of Blood was not a book I jumped to buy. I had heard of it here and there, and seen its author, Brian McClellan, mentioned as well several times. All I can say is, I wish I’d picked up this book sooner (I read a library copy, but since then I’ve ordered both itsContinue reading “Book Review: Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan (Spoilers)”
