Bienvenidos una vez más a mi sección favorita del blog, poder hacer distintas preguntas a los autores de las obras que amamos. La invitada de hoy es la escritora franco-vietnamita Aliette de Bodard, autora de diversas novelas en el género de la ficción especulativa.
Miss Percy’s Travel Guide to Welsh Moors and Feral Dragons (for the rest of the review, Travel Guide) is the great second book in the A Miss Percy Guide series by Quenby Olson. A good summary of what I pretend to say in this review is that Olson took the formula that made the first book great and funny, improved it, and crafted a perfect continuation. If you enjoyed the first instance of this series, you will love the second one.
Today we are accompanied by Emma L. Adams, author of epic fantasy and urban fantasy, whose novel The Lost Sentinel we have reviewed.
The Lost Sentinel is the first novel in the Relics of Power series by the British author Emma L. Adams. It’s an interesting proposal that mixes sections that are heavily character-driven, with sections where the plot takes all the control over the narrative pace. Despite being a coming-of-age story, it feels really original, as the starting point is really different, and some of the classic tropes in the genre have been twisted enough until making them look new.
Perils of Sea and Sky is the debut novel from the Norwegian writer Lilian Horn. Being a big fan of Stardust, and a steampunk enjoyer, picking up to host this tour was an easy decision. And I’m so happy about doing it because this book combines many elements that I enjoy, such as it is the ship theme, the naval battles, and charismatic characters enrolled in an almost suicidal mission.
Today we are accompanied by E.G. Radcliff, author of the dark fantasy series The Coming of Aéd.
The Hidden King is the first book in the Coming of Aéd trilogy, a YA Dark Fantasy series by E.G. Radcliff. I dived into this book almost blind, just knowing that it had good reviews, and now I want to read the full series, because I think there’s so much potential in the world of the Coming of Aéd, being darker than I expected.
The Rarkyn’s Familiar is the initial book in the Rarkyn’s trilogy by the Aussie author Nikky Lee. This book is basically YA High Fantasy well done, with really intriguing worldbuilding, excellent characters, interesting creatures, and vivid action scenes. In contraposition with other YA books, this doesn’t feature any kind of romance, only friendship. I read it as a part of a buddy read in the Indie Accords discord, which I think also helped with the experience and the enjoyment.
