Book Review: Sword of Kings by Bernard Cornwall (Affiliate link)
This is the penultimate book of the Saxon Tales series and its a good one. The author does a great job of setting up Uthred’s reason for having to go south. He has to keep an oath he made. It’s not one he wants to keep, but his honor demands it. The action in this book is good and the author does a good job of setting Uthred up in such a way that he’s not an invincible warrior, but has to face some real difficulties. Overall a good book.
Book Review: War Lord by Bernard Cornwall (Affiliate link)
War Lord is the final book in the Saxon series and the author really delivers. I started reading this book and couldn’t put it down. The action is tight and the characters are compelling. What I love best is you learn a part of English history, and how England came to be and the author does a great job of bringing that history to life. At the same time, he knows when to bring the series to a close and he does a good job with that as well. I highly recommend the book and the series if you enjoy historical fiction.
Book Review: Rogues by Darius Brasher (Affiliate link)
This is the fourth book in the Omega Superhero series and it’s a good one. We see Omega brought to his lowest by an arch foe, but also by his own arrogance. There are a couple scenes which are rough, but the author does a good job with the overall story. I also like how he gave us some insight into the arch foe that Omega ends up facing. Overall its a really good book.
Book Review: Crisis by Darius Brasher (Affiliate link)
This was a page turner. What I like is how the author explored the effect of past decisions on Omega and how he got to compare himself to the antagonist. The book ends on a cliff hanger and I can’t wait to read what happens next. This series keeps getting better and better.
Book Review: Watership Down by Richard Adams (Affiliate link)
I have reading Watership Down enough times to have worn my way through two copies and I’m now on my third copy with a reserve fourth copy. I love the book that much. The characters are amazing and the plot just grabs you. It’s one of my favorite books and if you’ve never read it, you should pick up a copy.
Book Review: Tales from Watership Down by Richard Adams (affiliate link)
This is the sequel to Watership Down and I like it just as much as the first book, both because you get to see what happens to the characters from Watership Down and because you get exposed to more rabbit mythology. If you loved the first book, you’ll love this one as well.
Book Review: Dragons of a Fallen Sun by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (Affiliate link)
This is classic Weis and Hickman at their best, building a compelling story that grabs you and keeps you involved from start to finish. I like the new characters as well as the returning characters. If you’re looking for good fantasy, you can’t go wrong with this book or how everything is set up.
Book Review: Dragons of a Vanished Moon by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (Affiliate link)
This was a good wrap up to the war of souls with some nice twists on the ending. The character development was solid and the story comes to a good conclusion. It's definitely a fitting ending to the Dragonlance series and some of the main characters.
Book Review: A Desert torn Asunder by Bradley Beaulieu (Affiliate link)
This is the final book of the shattered sands and it neatly ties up every loose string and wraps the series up in a way that brings satisfaction to the reader. I liked how every character’s arc ended and how the overall story concluded. Throughout the final page, I couldn’t stop turning the pages, wanting to find out what would happen next and how the story would wrap up. I am looking forward to the next series and will continue to reread these books because the story is one of the best I have read.
