Matthew Romeo is a warrior poet. He has a healthy obsession with Star Wars, the Stormlight Archive, Cobra Kai, and Halo. When it comes to his career as a writer, he's been inspired by the likes of Frank Herbert, Bandon Sanderson, and Pierce Brown. Pure chaos is the way of his writing style, often flitting between methodical outlining or just winging the story as he goes. Outside of being an author, he works for an international shipping company and is a dad of two cats named Korra and Toph. He spends much of his free time playing Dungeons&Dragons, learning swordsmanship, practicing martial arts, and going clay shooting. ...more

Matthew Romeo and 1 other person liked Danielle Harrington's review of The Maven Knight (The Maven Knight, #1): "This was such a fun first book in this sci-fi series! I loved the world-building, the magical armor, and the spunky cast of characters. The book is dual POV, following Talir (a scavenger) and Sarina (a city girl with a mysterious, yet pertinent past)" Read more of this review »

This is a DNF for me. Got to somewhere in the middle of Part 2 and just couldn’t keep going. It’s nothing but a mashup Dune and Red Rising and hardly does anything to separate itself from them.
