Book Review: A Sword Into Darkness

December 31, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Thomas A. MaysReviewed by: Brian Mansur Fantastic Hard Military Sci-fi/Space Opera One of the best Hard Military Sci-fi/Space Opera novels I’ve read. It explores an unusual solution to the Fermi Paradox. Aliens are coming, but they aren’t signaling their intentions, so one maverick billionaire recruits a battle-blooded US Navy officer to help design and […]

Book Review: Under Darkness

December 30, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Jasper T. Scott Narrated by: Ben Jaeger-ThomasReviewed by: Brian Mansur Heart-thumping thriller! This is my first time reading/listening to Jasper T. Scott’s work and I am seriously glad I took the recommendation. Under Darkness is a trippy mix of Independence Day vibes (of the good kind) with all the visceral fun of a Scream […]

Book Review: Sword Punk: Saving Seoul

December 28, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Steven KelliherReviewed by: Andy Peloquin I put off reading Rhythm of War for two days to finish this one! I was offered an ARC copy of this book by the author, and the premise intrigued me so I accepted. And I’m incredibly glad I did! Sword Punk has the feel of all of my […]

December 27, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: J.M.D. ReidReviewed by: Andy Peloquin Sucked me right in and kept me reading until the end From the first chapter, I found myself drawn into this story. The tale of a young man touched by a storm and cursed by death. The tale of a young woman struggling to find herself and come to […]

Book Review: Pawn’s Gambit

December 21, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Rob J. HayesReviewed by: Andy Peloquin Never Die, the first of the Mortal Techniques “series”, slayed in the 2019 SPFBO–and, of course, my heart. I loved the wuxia/ronin/martial arts movie feel of the book. Pawn’s Gambit is both delightfully LIKE and UNLIKE Never Die. The world was the same. The flavor of gritty, dirty, […]

Book Review: Dragon Mage

December 20, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: M.L. SpencerReviewed by: Andy Peloquin The world, magic, and fantastical flavor is spot on. Seeing an ASD/neuroatypical person (like me) represented in the pages of fantasy was an absolute treat! Classic fantasy that kept me reading all the way to the last word. I was excited to dive into Dragon Mage because the main […]

Book Review: Malice

December 16, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: John GwynneReviewed by: Andy Peloquin I FINALLY finished Malice by John Gwynne (a beast of a book!) and wow, what an epic world! It’s rare to find Iron Age stories (most fantasy plays with steel), but I actually really enjoyed the more “primitive” feel of the world. It feels more like classic Dark Ages […]

Book Review: Sairō’s Claw (Gensokai Kagai, #1)

December 15, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Virginia McClainReviewed by: Andy Peloquin For those who like the world of Rob J. Hayes’ Never Die, this will be another along the same vein–though reminiscent of feudal Japan instead of mainland China. Sairo’s Claw follows three main characters: Kaiyo, daughter of an Admiral, captain of her own ship, and all-around badass in her […]

Blood of Heirs

December 14, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Alexander DarwinReviewed by: Alicia Wainstall Burke I’ve had this book sitting on my Kindle since its release in 2018, and it’s always intrigued me, but I only NOW got around to reading it. And boy, I’m kicking myself for putting it off for so long! Blood of Heirs is a story about two young […]

Book Review: Unsouled (Cradle #1)

December 13, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Will WightReviewed by: Andy Peloquin Let’s be honest: everyone knows about Cradle. It’s one of the best-known fantasy series today, with the latest book actually cracking #1 on Amazon’s charts for a few days because so many people devoured it on Day One. I wasn’t one of them… I’ve heard amazing things about Cradle, […]

Duel of Fire

December 12, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Jordan RivetReviewed by: Andy Peloquin I didn’t know quite what to expect when diving into this books. A part of me was HOPING for something a bit more Greatcoats than Princess Bride–more badass action than romance. What I got was something that paired both surprisingly well in a story that had me way more […]

Combat Codes

December 11, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Alexander DarwinReviewed by: Andy Peloquin One hell of a book, perfect for lovers of martial arts and dystopian fantasy! SPBFO 2020 put this book on my radar, and as a lifelong fan (and former practitioner) of martial arts, it looked like the sort of thing I’d enjoy. Doubly so when I saw it being […]

The Blacktongue Thief

December 2, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Christopher BuehlmanReviewed by: Andy Peloquin4.5 out of 5 Stars Hands-down one of the best, most “lived-in” worlds I’ve read, with a decent plot and awesome characters. I’ve been hearing nothing but praise for Blacktongue Thief–including from Nick Eames himself–so I figured it was about time I gave it a listen and experienced it for […]

December 2, 2021 by Aethon Editor Leave a Comment

By: Jaime Castle & Rhett C. Bruno Narrator: Luke DanielsReviewed by: Andy Peloquin4.5 out of 5 stars Not the book I was expecting, but ended up enjoying it a lot! Classic Paladin vs. Rogue vibe that makes for a lot of fun reading. From the title and original cover (see below), I was expecting sort […]
