I won Pilgrim of the Sky from First Reads. I look forward to reading it now that its arrived. I've read the first two chapters and am already interested in the story. The book is well written and I have hopes it will stay interesting. I'll get back with more after I finish Pilgrim of the Sky.
Here are my thoughts after I reading the book:
Pilgrim of the Sky is an excellent fantasy with steampunk elements that I throughly enjoyed. If I hadn't known Natania Barron was a firs More...

Maddie's boyfriend Alvin has vanished, an assumed suicide, and she has finally gotten herself together enough to start moving on. She agrees to take Alvin's troubled brother Randy with her on one last trip to drop off some of Alvin's books to an old colleague.
And that is where she is pulled through an antique and into the body of an opium addicted seamstress who is married to someone who looks frighteningly similar to Randy- A man named Randall who tells her Alvin is alive, and profe More...

Pilgrim of the Sky is a fantasy / vaguely steampunk novel published by the small indie publisher Candlemark & Gleam. It’s a competent, but not particularly compelling, adventure story that frequently feels more like a romance novel. Maddie, our comely young main character, is unwittingly pulled into a parallel world in search of her dead (or perhaps only missing? yeah, he’s only missing) boyfriend.
In this parallel world, familiar faces are seen in new configurations, variant names, and More...

I’m not really sure why I thought this was a YA book, but when I first read the synopsis, that is exactly what I was expecting. However, this is not a YA book at all, but rather an adult book with some adult situations that I wouldn’t necessarily want my teen reading about; not that it’s extremely bad or extremely erotic, but there are some scenes within that are not my cup of tea, let alone something I would give to a younger reader. Now, my prudish self aside, there weren’t that many sexual

The blurb does sound interesting, doesn’t it?
Well, the book’s even better.
I’m not sure what I was expecting when I received my copy of Pilgrim of the Sky, but it sure wasn’t the detailed, thoughtful, magical tale that I found. Once more, I’ve been so pleasantly surprised!
Maddie is one of the best heroines I’ve read about. Or perhaps I should say she’s one of the best written: Natania Barron manages to take us to the deep pits of anodine life and near-dep More...

First - full disclosure. I'm the cover artist for this book, and I consider the author a friend, so YES I'm biased. I love this book. (But again, considering I am completely biased, take that assessment as you will.) I feel compelled to write a review to clear up a few things. This novel is full of rich and detailed worlds and steamy love scenes with compelling characters. BUT, I will say this book is misunderstood as "steampunk". One world of the 8 within the book can be described as

Got this from a LibraryThing giveaway; often cofusing - this could benefit from being developed more. It felt crammed together. At the same time, it was often vague - in style elements, in character development, in reader interest level. But all that aside, it has potential - I did like th aspect of the 8 worlds and the people being aspects of gods across them - interesting lore. Just needs a heavy retune to better worldbuild, slow the explanations and deepen them at key points.
