Review: Enok and the Womb of Gods by A. SkoroBogáty

Enok and the Womb of Gods by A. SkoroBogáty

A. SkoroBogáty’s motivating origin story from ancient sources twists established mythology and explores traditions of worship, gods, and legend in his evocative Enok and the Womb of Gods.

This epic fantasy explores politics, power, and belief in an ancient world, with added touches of mythology and fantasy expected in a story inspired by Old Testament verses and characters, as Enok battles from his life as a slave to a fighter, facing barbarians, pagan cults, and imprisonment. With a poetic touch to the fable-like writing that succeeds in convincing the reader the work could be written in Enok’s time, the […]

Review: The Giants’ Dance by J.W. Webb

The Giants' Dance by J.W. Webb

J.W. Webb invites readers back to the magical world of Ansu in The Giants’ Dance, the savagely good second installment of the Berserker Trilogy. Carrying on from the cliff-hanging conclusion of Book 1, this novel finds the heroes scattered but resilient, determined to face the mounting evil together, in this classic action-packed fantasy.

Jaren and Finvar make for an unlikely but entertaining team, as usual, as they journey to rescue Savarna in chivalric fashion. With the mythical axe Griner firmly in hand, Jaren heroically leads the pair against demons, stone giants, ghosts, and all other manner of ice realm obstacles […]

After being dragged through the cosmos and arriving on Seabor, Yadduk’s eyes are opened to the bizarre lifestyles and plans of the fickle gods, who seem to hold a […]

Review: Shades of Black 1: In Darkness Cast by Jonathan Shuerger

In Darkness Cast by Jonathan Shuerger

Author Jonathan Shuerger drops a fantasy bombshell of epic proportions with In Darkness Cast, the first book in the Shades of Black series. Armed with a spiraling, action-driven plot, wickedly entertaining characters and bloodthirsty prose, this ambitious novel hums with sinister intent.

Throughout the novel, the author explores traditional fantasy themes of the hero’s journey, painful self-revelation, as well as the changing faces of friend and foe alike. The immersive nature of the writing and the impossibly high stakes of the story make it impossible to put this book down in the middle of a chapter.

The relationship between […]
