Crystalborne Sigils by S. Lynn Helton

There is much to like about this book. The tension and conflict immediately begin as we realize that Gya, the protagonist, is barely acknowledged in society because his parents practiced magic. Thus he suffers for the guilt of his parents and is now ...more

A Collection of Fabulous Fascinating Fairy Tales Volume 7  by J.R. Gibson

Though the stories unfold quickly, there are too many explanatory asides to assist the reader as to why something is happening. Further, the title states that it is for children ages 5-7, yet I occasionally found the language to be more appropriate f ...more

This book reads like a poorly written cheap detective novel, full of cliches and illogical/unbelievable actions, and anachronisms. Most of the story takes place in 1928, with other sections either a bit earlier or in ancient times.

I’ll begin with the problems (minor) first. I had some difficulty understanding the cause/reasons for some key plot points, e.g, the space-travel circle in the very beginning that causes the mages to teleport to an island. At times, the story seemed ...more
