Through Stone and Sea by Barb and J.C. Hendee is the second book in the run off series to the Noble Dead. While I can’t say that I liked Wynn, Chane, and Shade more than I like Magiere, Leesil, and Chap. I will say that this was a solid story […]
The Spirit Lens by Carol Berg was a book that started off slow, but soon had me invested in the character’s outcomes. In a kingdom on the verge of a grand renaissance, where natural science has supplanted failing sorcery, someone aims to revive a savage rivalry… For Portier de Savin-Duplais, […]
Normally I don’t care for books with dragons in it, but Shadow of the Vampire by Meagan Hatfield had me from page one. I immediately felt sympathy for Declan, since I, myself, have lost my parents and I know what that is like. The characters were strong and believable and […]
The first book in the new Iron Elves series by Chris Evans, A Darkness Forged in Fire is a book that I should have enjoyed, but it was sadly lacking. In this world, Konowa Swift Dragon, former commander of the Empire’s elite Iron Elves, is looked upon as anything but […]
I initially expected and Falling, Fly by Skyler White to be the usual paranormal fare, but I can honestly say that it was anything but.

When approached with the Worldweavers series by Alma Alexander, I was rather excited to start reading them as the world sounded super exciting. Who knew you’d be a true weaver? Great things have been expected of Thea, the seventh child of two seventh children. Now, with Cheveyo, a mage, Thea […]
I was asked to review At the Gates of Darkness by Raymond Feist, and since I usually enjoy a good fantasy novel and had never read this author, I was anxious to get started. To protect their world from the savage demon hordes, the Black Sorcerer Pug and Midkemia’s clandestine […]
When I first started Literary Escapism, I wrote up a list of recommendations based on what I had read up to that point. Two years and over 200 books later, I think it’s time I updated my list a little, don’t you think? The one thing that hasn’t changed, whatever […]
At the request of a friend, I was asked to review The Last Map to the Throne of God by Trularin – it turned out to be a flawed, yet enjoyable book. Dr. Paul Bracken and his coworkers are sent to Montana where an anomaly is discovered in an archaeological […]
