  • The Centennial Tournament

    Book 3 of Infinite Realms. The series continues to evolve and grow stronger as we follow Ryun and Zack. I enjoyed several points in this book. Especially poniente was that we tend to not try to continue to better ourselves and push ourselves as we grow older. It is interesting to see as the new…

  • Cataclysm

    Book 4 of Star Wars: High Republic. This episode is as filled with action and death as the previous books. Don’t get too close to the Jedi, many die and die often. That said, this fourth book in the series could be a conclusion of sorts and I loved the way it wrapped up. Excellent…

  • Class Dis-Mythed

    Book 16 of the Myth Adventures series. Juxtaposed the last novel, this one is Skeeve central. This time Skeeve is the teacher. This wonderful story about teamwork among the hilarity leaves this as a classic. I loved seeing Skeeve much more powerful and not just the screw up sidekick. Even though it was his own…

  • Myth-Taken Identity

    Book 15 of the Myth Adventure series. This novel focuses on old friends with the central character being Aahz. This is a tell of old friends, while missing Skeeve. Hilarity ensues as well Chase down magical credit card identity theft. This is a strong, must not miss. If you love the series this will tickle…

  • Crossroads

    Book 3 of Towers and Rifts. This was a good conclusion to the series, albeit it feels like the final battle was rushed. Aside from that this book is a shot put ride from the beginning to the end. A lot of possibilities for more books in the series. The theme is dealing with betrayal,…

  • Tehanu

    Book 4 of the Earthsea series. This book is vastly different than the others in the series. The storytelling is still top notch, but Sparrowhawk barely makes an appearance. The authors afterward talks about this not being a feminist book albeit you can see why one might think otherwise. This book is far more exposition…

  • The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain

    Book 6 of The Chronicles of Prydain. This is a fun trip back to a world I had not visited in a while. It is a series of short stories that could be read alone and be able to gain great insights into life. As always you can get lost into each story leaving you…

  • The Giant Yo-Yo Mystery

    Book 107 of the Boxcar Children. At first I thought ok now we can make a mystery if anything, but instead I was pleasantly surprised. This little book is about forgiveness and moving on whenever we feel hurt. It also addresses the extent that people will go to when they want to succeed even at…

  • The Price of Power

    Book 2 of Infinite Realms. This is a long book and this short review will not do it justice. Overall I enjoyed the entire book. The only distraction was the they/them character as the plural just took extra effort to keep track of. Aside from that, I love the blur between who is good and…

  • Trapped in the Horror Dome

    Monsterious book 5. This fun little horror middle grade book takes us into a bosoms with a mysterious creature lurking about. Ratchet up the pressure as the air supply begins to run out and it is a race against time. But in the end who is the real monster, a little Dr Frankenstein-ish. Aside from…
