Reader, writer, IT-consultant and generally laid back. (I think.) I love scifi, fantasy and steampunk as genres.

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.

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."

Another spaceship, another explosion. Harold Galahad would love to wake from this particular nightmare that …
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.
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.
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.

The Last Wish (Polish: Ostatnie życzenie) is the first (in its fictional chronology; published second …
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.

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.
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.
Being exiled from her coven is the least of Evelyn's problems. Although only passed her …
I definitely enjoyed this book. The struggle between light and dark magic was well done, and the variation of characters was great.
Evelyn is turned into a dark witch. Dark witches have a bad name. From there, things take a turn for the worse.
Magic, some romance going bad and getting good again, murder and conniving Elders. What more do you want?

Decided to get this book after a few fun chats with the author. She's a former Mormon who went an entirely different way, so I was curious. The first chapters don't disappoint at all!
Humanity’s wake-up call. Answer it or face extinction. When Bleu’s little sister shows symptoms of …
"The Calling" is the first book in a series called "Finding Humanity".
Well written, with engaging characters and a good pace, we follow the experiences of two groups of people on Earth, one on the surface, one underground.
The ones underground are determined to find other havens where people live, but that's easier said than done. Expeditions to the frozen surface require a lot of preparation, and resources are limited.
Be ready for misunderstanding, rigid minds and insights of many kinds.
