Book reviews give other readers a way to measure whether a book may or may not be appealing to them and so are a crucial part of a book’s potential success and longevity, especially in the indie publishing community. With this in mind, these days I do my best to review each book I read, and feel it’s important to leave a review no matter what my experience with the book is like. Other readers deserve to see a full spectrum of opinions about the material, ranging from those who loved it (and why) to those who did not (and why).
I was privileged to receive an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Epilogues for Lost Gods is the sequel to Goddess of Nothing At All and covers the aftermath of GoNAA, as told from both Sigyn’s and Loki’s point of view. Definitely read GoNAA first in order to properly enjoy what EfLG has to offer. Continue reading Review: Epilogues for Lost Gods
A heart wrenching imagining of the story of Sigyn and Loki. The first half of the book had me *heart eyes* for the incredible love story while the second half had me gasping out loud and crying “No!!!” every time some new calamity befell the characters. Continue reading Review: The Goddess of Nothing At All
What a ride!
The word to describe this book is definitely “rage”. The story is amazingly well done and portrayed so well that I could visualize what was going on almost as if I was watching an anime. I would certainly love to see Iron Widow turned into an animated movie, especially because the special effects would be able to bring the Chrysalises to life so well.
The story gripped me from the first page. I immediately liked all the characters, but especially Shimin. I gasped out loud several times and enjoyed how the writing was so unapologetic about the material it covered. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
Five stars!
What a fun romp! A few moments made me laugh out loud, while others made me sad, and even though the King Arthur allegory was a bit thick in places, I enjoyed this book immensely. The duology is a must-read for klingon lovers everywhere.
Five stars!
Gowron and Martok are my favorite Trek characters, so when I learned there was a book co-authored by J.G. Hertzler (Martok’s actor) that specifically continued the character’s journey post DS9, I had to give it a go.
The book is an excellent exploration of who Martok is and where his priorities lie. Sirella continues to be the insufferable snob she was in DS9 and I have no idea why any man in the universe would choose to be married to her, never mind consider her to be “magnificent”, but this just goes to show that Hertzler and Lang really took her portrayal in DS9 to heart and ran with it. All of the other characters are likewise portrayed faithfully, and I think they did an excellent job.
The inciting incident and subsequent upheaval for the Empire is gut-wrenching if you’re a klingon nerd (which I am). There are lots of interesting cultural tidbits thrown in that were never revealed in either TNG or DS9. All in all it’s a wonderful adventure. My biggest disappointment was getting to the end and finding out that it wasn’t the end…because at the time I had no idea there was a book two!
Five stars!

I wanted to like this book. I was intrigued by the blurb and the author’s descriptions on Twitter. Alas, after ten chapters I have to put it down and move on. Continue reading Review: Oceana – The Scrolls of Tier’nah Ri
