We now have the final word in the story of Skywalker: Anyone can be a hero, regardless of bloodline, species, origin, homeworld, class, or gender. Chosen Ones, as much as they might exist, are not the solution to our problems. The Force moves beyond any single individual, and when it comes down to it, your choice to fight for your chosen family and what you believe in matters more than ANYTHING else.
Promise of Blood: A flintlock fantasy with allusions to the French Revolution, it’s a story worth reading if just for Mihali. Yet there are dozens of other wonderful characters and plots-within-plots, making it one of the most intriguing books I’ve read in recent years.
In Aerovoyant, P. L Tavormina has crafted a brilliantly prescient—and retrospective—narrative, exploring climate change on an earth analog millennia in the future. Humankind has evolved in some ways—with creative genetic modifications—but as a society, it faces many of the same problems faced by our present industrialized world. It all boils down to money. And power.
Like many SciFi and Fantasy authors, I grew up playing RPG video games. Skyrim, Mass Effect, Boulders Gate, KOTOR, you name it, I’ve probably played it. So when I heard about the growing LitRPG genre, I was intrigued! Stories set inside RPG-like worlds? Wow!
Chambers' To Be Taught If Fortunate is a delightfully compelling story of four astronauts and their noble journey to explore exoplanets, not for profit, but for the purpose of gaining knowledge and cataloging the life they find there.
When you pick up a book attempting something profoundly different from everything within its genre, you’re bound to struggle. To question. To disagree. Too Like the Lightning reads like an ancient text precisely because the author intended it so.
It’s a sweeping story—and the book isn’t short, at 160,000 words. Yet with three POVs (Ruben, Marius, and Ella), it’s truly three stories in one. And the narratives weave in and out of each other’s story with skill, even as the characters are taken far away from one another. Plenty of twists will take you down a path of emotions you will not expect.
I still stand by my conclusion from when I finished Book 1: if you love the universe of Dragon Age, you will find a home with the Hollow Fate series. It’s epic fantasy with a compelling magic system, incredible worldbuilding, and a world-ending threat that feels tangible, unique, and complicated in its motivations.
Ten Sigma: A Military Science Fiction Novel by A. W. Wang, tells an intriguing story based on a simple premise at its core. It asks: “What if the military could train supersoldiers by putting human minds through a virtual gauntlet of thousands of battles inside a super-computer?”
The biographies of Hamilton and Washington portray the reality of the early days of the United States. Our "heroes" were complicated humans filled with paradoxes. We probably shouldn't worship them. But we can learn a lot from their mistakes.
Kit Rocha’s Deal With The Devil is a fast paced post apocalyptic action-romance following a team of women and a team of men as their lives become interconnected. The women—Nina, Dani, and Maya—are genetically modified librarians recovering digital files of lost books several decades after a solar flare leads to the fall of the United States. The men—Captain Knox, Conall, Gray, and Rafe—are enhanced protectorate soldiers on the run from their former employer, “The TechCorps.” Together, these two unlikely groups team up to achieve a common goal.
