Review: Ethea (Daughter of Chaos 3) by A.C. Salter
Ethea: The daughter of Chaos: Volume 3 by A.C. SalterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having read the first two books in this series, I could not wait to find out how it all ends, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. My every expectation for this story was met! Merged worlds bring all sorts of surprises, from the creepiest creatures to heroic hearts, and I lapped it up. Then there are the battles! Massive in scale, the give it all and die for a cause type battles, filled with death, horror and terror. From snow to fire, from air to underwater – I found myself holding my breath sometimes!
There’s also quirky humour, and fellowship and love. There’s hope amid despair, there’s beauty amid the chaos. Most of all, this is an epic tale, bringing mythology and fantasy into our time and place in an imaginative and highly enjoyable way. My only gripe is that Elora and Bray’s tale will go on now without us looking in on them via the pages. Who knows, maybe the Empire will have need of their skills in the future …
Well done to the author! Excellent indeed!

Review: Owl Dreams by John T. Biggs
Owl Dreams by John T. BiggsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A little bit supernatural, a lot of crime, a big search, many weird folk, strange mind games, all excellently revealed in this contemporary story. I did not know what exactly to expect from ‘owl dreams’ and was more than pleasantly surprised. It’s clever and filled with nuance, and for once there is no way to predict how the story will flow – surprises everywhere. A must read!
