Springtide Harvest is the debut novel from the Canadian writer J.D. Mitchell, and the start of an unknown title series. It can be read as a great standalone novel, being a captivating coming-of-age story, with an excellent written flow, which introduces us to a really interesting world, and characters who I want to know more about them.
Today we are accompanied by Susana Imaginário, misfit from Portugal, and author of the Timelessness series, which blends Norse and Greek mythologies.
Wyrd Gods is the initial book in the Timelessness series, by the Portuguese author Susana Imaginário. As a lover of mythologies, and seeing a book this ambitious, trying to mix different ones in the same story, this book bumped into the top of my TBR. Add to the mix that I got the audiobook, which is fantastically narrated by Sarah Kempton, and that makes a perfect combination.
We are going today to talk about the books I will be reading as a judge for the Indie Ink Awards, after the second shuffle of assignments. You can expect full reviews of them coming in the next months.
Today we are accompanied by Michael R. Miller, the successful author of the series Song of Chaos and Dragon’s Blade trilogy.
Ascendant is the initial novel in the Songs of Chaos series by Michael R. Miller. As it was often compared to Eragon, and being a book featuring dragons, which are one of my favourite fantasy creatures, reading it was a matter of time. We have a coming-of-age, epic fantasy book, which is really original in how it approaches certain of the classic tropes, which certainly deserves all the praise it got.
The Stars Undying is the strong debut of Californian writer Emery Robin. I’m a big fan of classical history and space operas, so reading a retelling of the Cleopatra and Julio Cesar story, in an imaginary system of planets, was an easy decision for me. And I don’t regret that decision, as I’ve enjoyed greatly reading The Stars Undying.
