The Crescent Moon (Realm of Prophets #1), by E.J. Doble

The Crescent Moon is a really unique novella by the author E.J. Doble, and the initial book on the future series The Realm of Prophets. Our protagonist, My’ala, will meet a mysterious stranger, Artemis the Hermit, being really young (she’s around 9-10 years during the first encounter), embarking herself on a relationship where both will try to answer the question «What is the meaning of life?»

Divinity’s Twilight: Remnant (Divinity’s Twilight #2) by Christopher Russell

Divinity’s Twilight: Remnant (for the rest of the review Remnant) is the second installment in the Divinity’s Twilight series, by Christopher Russell. I was originally pulled by this series due to the aesthetic of the cover and the steampunk elements, and remained for the characters and the world, and we will follow them as they try to deal with the aftermath after the fall of Darmatia, the end of Rebirth.

A Handful of Souls (The Split Sea #1), by Stephen Rice

A Handful of Souls is the debut novel from the English author Stephen Rice and certainly, a unique book in the way it takes some themes. Defining its genre is certainly something kinda difficult, so I think the best way to define it is by making ours the term used by the own author «family grimdark», as certainly we are going to follow the story of the Kale-Tollworth family, and the characters have a certainly questionable moral.

La historia triste de un hombre justo, de Ángel González Olmedo

A pesar de la influencia que ha tenido la cultura española en el mundo moderno, las obras de fantasía cuya inspiración beba de esta misma, lo cual hace aun más raro que justo esta semana haya coincido con tener dos de estas obras en mis manos, Together We Burn de Isabel Ibañez y La Historia Triste de un Hombre Justo de Ángel G. Olmedo, que es la que vamos a tratar en esta reseña. Y de verdad, pienso que es un poco una pena, ya que como el autor nos demuestra en esta obra, tomando retales de aquí y de ella, inspirándose en el Siglo de Oro, se puede hacer una de las mejores novelas que he tenido el placer de leer este año.

Together We Burn, by Isabel Ibañez

Together We Burn is the second novel from the Florida writer Isabel Ibañez. It features a ton of cool things that made me want to read and review it as dragons, mystery, and it is set in a fantasy world based in Spain and most in concrete in Andalusia. So with all these elements in mind, and as somebody who has been living for more than eight years in the city used as inspiration (Seville), let’s dive into the review.
