4th Northnest book released
Hello all,
I did release the 4th Northnest Saga book in 2022: "Assault on the Anchored City."
Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-954180-06-2
Softcover ISBN: 978-1-954180-07-9
eBook ISBN: 978-1-954180-08-6
The 5th book is in a bit of a stall, but I will return to it eventually.
In the meantime, I am actively working on the illustrations for my third Otter Magic children's book. This one is called "Otter Fire Magic." Read more of this blog post »

| This is really only a book I read because I re-read Joust (which I love) and then have to finish the series. Like books 2 and 3 in this series, it meanders quite a bit before discovering a plot. The end is climactic and exciting, but the rest of the ...more | |

| The last quarter of this book is pretty good, with action and tension, high stakes, and large changing events. The first three quarters are a bit of a slog. Still, it's part of a series I enjoy, so I read through it. ...more | |

| This book is one of my comfort reads I regularly re-read. It has a permanent home on my shelf. The partnership between the two main characters is the main draw for me, along with the mysterious setting. Yes, there are also a few little hokey bits, bu ...more | |

|
| The first book in this series is the best, and I often reread it for comfort purposes, but once I have read the first one, it's difficult to not go on to the rest of the series and see how the story of Kiron and Avatre ends. So I read book 2. It's no ...more | |

| I did finish this book, and I'm glad to be done. I think I am probably not the target audience. First off, the style is overwritten, which took me a bit to get used to. It's also quite dark and disturbing, which isn't generally something I enjoy. The ...more | |

| While there are some editing and continuity errors, and a few places where some trimming would have streamlined the exposition, I still repeatedly enjoy this story as one of my comfort reads. Both Vetch and Ari are compassionate, likable characters, ...more | |

| Not a bad story, though the older style writing could put some off. After a rather stilted prologue, the story gets going and carries on at an adequate pace. Some of the ending is a bit predictable, but still satisfying enough. I picked it up because ...more | |

| This is one of my favorite Valdemar books and I regularly re-read it. The character of Kerowyn is so well developed and complex, showing tons of growth throughout the story, that she's always engaging to read. She overflows with her own agency, which ...more | |

| The story is easy to follow. The characters are fairly distinct, though it did take me a while to keep all the girls straight. The horror is not bad, though nothing truly innovative, and at no point did I feel scared. The setting and time was pretty ...more | |

| My least favorite of this trilogy, still a decent read with immersive description and a fair amount of conflict. Definitely an over-use of exclamation points (!) and some parts felt rather over-dramatic, but a strong point is character growth. I didn ...more | |
