Paul Kater reviewed Memes of the Prophets book 1 by Ewen Cluney (Memes of the Prophets, #1)
Eric got hit by a truck, died, and then was originally pleased to find that …
Totally bonkers, I loved it!
5 stars
This is the kind of over the top, weird fantasy I love. Gender changed person arrives in a world that's like a game location, fun poked at earth things, I almost couldn't stop reading!
Paul Kater reviewed Terragon's Challenge by Hannah Steenbock (Terragon, #1)
Earth must be protected at all cost.
And that's why there's Gregory and his team, …
A great sequel to the start of the series!
5 stars
A fabulous sequel to the start of the series. You will call Ghostbusters for Ghosts, but count on Greg, Shivai and the team if you're facing a demon infestation. Fast paced, lots of action and all the other good things. Certainly recommended.
Paul Kater reviewed Terragon's Fate by Hannah Steenbock (Terragon, #0)
Shivai is back to training with her mentor Tsivor because she made a critical error …
Fast and Furious!
5 stars
A fast and furious introduction to the realm of Terragon and the perils its citizens face, even when they're housed on Earth. Great pace, good characters despite the short read and very promising for the sequels.

Paul Kater finished reading The Magicians' Guild (Black Magician Trilogy, #1) by Trudi Canavan
The Magicians' Guild is the first fantasy novel in The Black Magician series by Trudi …
A fabulously written story about a girl from the slums, who appears to have natural magic. Read about her attempts to hide from the magicians, who want to help her control that magic.
I'll stop here, because otherwise there will be spoilers.
Big book, big worth your time.

"We should expect this young woman to be more powerful than our average novice, possibly even more powerful than the average magician."

Paul Kater reviewed Herald Petrel by Strange Seawolf
Another spaceship, another explosion. Harold Galahad would love to wake from this particular nightmare that …
Amazing in its depth
5 stars
This is an onion. And no, it won't make you cry. It has as many layers as you care to peel off. Meet a crew who ends up with a captain they don't know, and a situation no one counted on. Follow along how people respond to it. How people work together - and against each other. Find problem after problem, and see people develop, regardless of race, species, conviction, etc.
Paul Kater reviewed Dragon Storm by Lindsay Buroker (Heritage of Power, #1)
Not all dragons are good dragons
5 stars
Lindsay Buroker never fails to come true with her stories. Hard to write a review without spoilers, but... not all dragons are good dragons, and when your world suddenly gets infested by them, it's quite a battle to get rid of them. Add some magical swords in a world where magic is frowned upon, and the stage is set.
Paul Kater finished reading One Storm Too Many by Ted Bun
The sea levels are rising The climate is not what it was Florida has gone …
A scary view of the future, which might very well happen if our fearless leaders keep doing nothing about climate change.
Great characters and narrative, and a ray of hope seeps through after all.

Great world building
5 stars
I tried the TV series and didn't like it at all. I usually like the book of something a lot better. The Witcher / Last Wish was no exception.
Such a breath of fresh air, seeing a different world (Slavic), and so many amazing people and creatures. I loved this book.
Paul Kater reviewed Colony One by Tarah Benner (The Elderon Chronicles, #1)
Maggie Barnes is at the end of her rope. She’s young and broke living in …
Interesting read
5 stars
The start was a bit slow, but soon the pace and the plots picked up. Definitely a nice read, and a good start of the series. Space station and robots. That's fun.
Paul Kater finished reading The Goddess's Choice: Book One of The Kronicles of Korthlundia by Jamie Marchant (The Kronicles of Korthlundia, #1)
In a world where the corrupt church hides the truth about magic, the fate of …
Well written, but I think there are a few too many characters. At some point it gets a bit confusing, with all the relations and interactions.
