Season’s greetings and Merry Christmas to you all I hope this finds you well.     Wow, this year seems to have flown by and here I am facing mince pies and Christmas turkey once again. I wonder how you are all doing? It’s been tricky (or as Gollum would say tricksy) times for so manyContinue reading “A D Green’s Fantasy Newsletter December 2023”

5/5 stars – A great read. Historical naval fiction done well I have been looking forward to this book for a while. I read some of C.S. Forester’s Hornblower and an awful lot of Alexander Kent’s Bolitho series in my late teens and early twenties and I loved the vivid pictures of naval life bothContinue reading “A Certain Threat (The Merriman Chronicles Book 1) by Roger Burnage”

4/5 Stars, A light read and a fun space adventure. I fancied a sci-fi story that was not too cerebral, so as much as I love Alastair Reynolds I wanted something lighter and more, dare I say it, yes I dare, something more Disney-like by which I mean soft on the science and full-on theContinue reading “Lost Souls:Sci-Fi Adventure with a sense of humor! (Get Lost Saga Book 1) by Noah Chinn”

4/5 stars, A fun new fantasy with some great characters A very enjoyable read. A tale of four mercenaries for hire who take on a job that might just get them all killed. Their adventure (or commission) is concluded so there is no cliffhanger ending, which is satisfying. However, the story is just beginning andContinue reading “Blade And Bone by D. K. Holmberg”

4/5 stars, A well-crafted fantasy with some great themes running through it I picked this up on Kindle Unlimited, one of the many on my to-read list. Right off I knew I was in safe hands, the writing was accomplished and error-free for the most part and it was clear to me, after looking atContinue reading “The Last Ranger by J.D.L Rosell”

4/5 Stars,  A Breathless action-packed thriller  A great start to a new series. The opening scene is singular, involving just our hero Ryan Kaine but is no less riveting for it, the tension building as you know something bad is about to go down. And it does (literally) when an act of betrayal throws KaineContinue reading “On the Run: Book 1 in the Ryan Kaine series by Kerry J Donovan”

4/5 Stars -Great fun, and a lot of story An oxymoron of a book. The story is full-on, nonstop and long and it held my interest for all of it because I hovered through all 1200+ pages in a week. It’s incongruous, paradoxical and inconsistent. Our protagonist, Damien, is aptly named (think back to thatContinue reading “Isekai Magus: A LitRPG Progression Saga (The Fantasy World of Nordan Book 1) by Han Yang”

4/5 Stars, A Great Family Friendly Fantasy I tried this fantasy offering from R E Palmer an Indie author and have to say I found the book enjoyable and easy to read. It is a family-friendly fantasy with no gratuitous violence, the fight scenes being non too graphic but enough to convey the threat andContinue reading “Song of Echoes (Book 1) by R E Palmer”

Hello, everyone It has been a while since I did a post or book review. On the latter, I have had two DNF’s on a fantasy and a Sci-fi book which did not warrant a review. They weren’t for me. I am however reading T.C. Edge’s The Fetters of Fate – Book 4 in theContinue reading “Darkness Resides – Book 3 Update”
