Jason Waltz’s Reviews > Crimson Quill Quarterly: Volume 7: July 2025 > Status Update

Waggoner, "The Kingdom of Memory": flowing exploration of death, memory, loss, hope.

North, "Into the Siege": began quite well, nice intro to character and setting. Enjoyable grand adventure setting up future stories for our trio. New to me author, nice addition to the CQQ club.

Bose, "Chitin is not Bone": appropriate title. Interesting world and people, passably interesting characters, the Baron of Bone being both sorcerer and warrior, which I enjoy. A rather surprising selection for CQQ in my opinion.

Doolan, "Bloody Escape": was a surprise on many levels: non-human characters, less than a 1000 words, and only a scene.

Mele, "Feast of the Hidden Moon": damn exciting story! Excellent setting, atmosphere, pacing, mystery, threat! Very fun storyteller. Great read!

Riley, "Lies and Treachery" part 2: I should have seen this coming but I did not. It does make sense with what occurred in part one. Part two is much more faster paced though honestly less exciting than part one. I'm not sure I buy the priest's reasoning at the climax.
