Broome Street Nine

29 July 2023

From the summary, this book sounded like something I’d like. Dystopian science fiction which, I’ll admit, I can be rather picky about but do enjoy. I based my decision this time just on the description, and I’ve got a mild […]

Big Sneaky Barbarian 2

27 July 2023

Book 2 of Big Sneaky Barbarian felt rather disconnected from the first book> Sure, we still have Loon, the supposedly sneaky barbarian with anger issues and snark for days, and some of our friends from the first book eventually show

The Silas Kane Scrolls

22 July 2023

This was an entirely unexpected origin story. Like the Brandon Thighmaster tale, this is the origin story of Silas Kane, paladin of the Authors and Dragons podcast as played by Rick Gualtieri. I wasn’t expecting to feel sorry for the

The Dark Lord Bert

14 July 2023

Short, silly and very easy to get into, The Dark Lord Bert is LitRPG but only in a very loose sense. Set inside a game world where the players know they’re in a game but also seem to have some

The Prince Has Been Outclassed

1 July 2023

The Prince Has Been Outclassed, book 2 of Ben’s Damn Adventure by Matthew Howry, continues mostly in the same theme of the first book; a funny, fun apocalypse adventure. While it has its strengths, the plot progression and character growth

Vicarious

26 June 2023

Vicarious, by Rhett C Bruno, is kind of like The Truman Show if it were set a few hundred years in the future, and everybody on the show had no idea. The blurb for the book says it’s like The

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Yeah, I don’t know what inspired me to pick this up, but well here we are. I’ll admit I’ve not seen the movie this was based on, so I’ll assume it remains pretty faithful to the plot. I have seen

If I’ve got my timeline right, this is set after the events of book one – The Star Fraction, and before book two – The Stone Canal, and nicely fills in some gaps about what happened on Earth while the
