Announcing the Epic Sale of Beloved SFF Books

I'm very excited to be able to announce and share a project I've been working on for the last little while. As you may know if you've ever visited this website before I've come across a few absolutely amazing fantasy books that don't seem to have a lot of hype (yet) - these are listed in my Hidden Gems section of the website. These are all excellent books that I would put on par with the best of the best and I'm going to keep shouting about them until they get super famous because they're just that good.

But I also know there are many more such excellent books out there that I haven't necessarily found yet. So it occurred to me to ask the authors of my hidden gems books if they had recommendations of awesome books that they absolutely loved. After all, I've come to trust these authors to offer me excellent fiction, so of course the books they enjoy must also be awesome!

So I asked those authors what their beloved books were and then I contacted the authors of those books and asked them for their recs and so on and the result?

I've got a curated list of over 29 amazing SFF stories to check out and to share with you all.

But it's not just a list.

I also asked those authors if they would be kind enough to put their books on sale for $0.99 for a week and these amazing authors were happy to do so! So here we are. Not only are these books amazing, each coming with a recommendation, but they're also extremely cheap AND many of the authors have offered up additional books for sale as well!

Review: Kir's Fury by Stjepan Varesevac Cobets

  Kir's Fury is the second book in the Godeena Codex. I loved the first book, Godeena, which stood well enough on its own with a satisfying story that wrapped up nicely, but I was definitely thrilled when I found out the author had written a second book. Because I wanted to dive in right away, I decided not to re-read Godeena, and this showed me that Kir's Fury also works fairly well as a stand alone, though of course, I would still recommend reading Godeena first!  This book has a much wider focus, showing us many different planets, characters from various different civilizations, and all kinds of interesting tech levels and even some supernatural powers. It felt epic in scale, which I really loved. It starts on the planet Godeena, six years after the events of the first book, and starts with the archaeologist Diana and her team doing their explorations of that planet, trying to uncover the secrets of the lost civilization that once inhabited it. What they uncover exposes a t...

Review: Miss Percy's Definitive Guide to the Restoration of Dragons by Quenby Olson

    Miss Percy's Guide to the Restoration of Dragons is a wonderful conclusion to this trilogy. The ever-growing cast of excellent characters that feel so real continues to grow, bringing more great characters and also giving more depth to some of the characters that were already introduced in the previous two volumes. This book is full of adventure and difficult situations for Mildred and the others, so much so that I felt intense anger and stress for her future at times, but it's also full of that same cozy vibe that permeated the other two.  With this series the coziness stems from the character interactions and the fact that even though it's a book about dragons you can see similarities and connections to very real behaviours that a pet or child might display. The way Mildred cares for the dragons - and for everyone else around her, really - is so reminiscent of a mother or other caregiver worrying about and caring for their kids, which makes it all so believable in t...

Review: The Firetouched (Firebrand Book 2) by D. E. Olesen

Firebrand Book 2: The Fire-Touched is an excellent follow-up to the first book. It continues the story of Martel as he completes his first year at the Lyceum, hoping that by the end of it, he'll finally pass the novice stage and become an acolyte like the others his age. As this is the second book Martel has become more comfortable at the school and with the surrounding city and I also enjoyed sinking comfortably back into this well-built world with Martel. I enjoyed this second installment almost more than I did the first.  Martel's characterization is consistent with the first one, and he continues to get himself into tough situations and put himself into danger to help others, but by now he has his feet under him a bit more and is better able to handle the situations he gets into - and pick out friends from foes from people who are trying to use him. There's lots of great character work not only for Martel, but also some of the side-characters.  In terms of his magical e...
