Epic Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Romance. I have been waiting for a chance to read The Fallen Queen for quite some time now. I’ve had the privilege of catching some snippets of the book while playing on Twitter, and the concept intrigued me, so I jumped at the chance to get my hands on an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of the book.

Gundarland, a fantasy land presided over by magical Dwarves, Elves and Humans. They are in the first stages of their own industrial revolution, not very technologically advanced, therefore relying on their magic. The kingdom bathes in relative peace, disturbed only by the Defence Minister and the Secretary of Interior, who have turned the politics of the land into a turmoil of lies, spies and sabotage. They detest each other, the rest of the cabinet members being the only thing stopping them leaping for each others throats.

In life, we are often asked to believe in things that cannot be seen or explained. Our world is filled with unanswerable questions about creation, evolution, death, and the magic that binds us together. Doctors can explain how your heart beats and what part of the brain houses memories, but not why cancer spreads or Alzheimer’s steals away the ability to recognize your child’s face. When a book delves into how characters react when faced with mysteries such as these, you can be sure an adventure is in store. It is human nature to respond to tragedy differently, and Paul H. Deepan beautifully illustrates the tough choices a young hero must make when misfortune and magic collide.

A book’s cover is its calling card and this cover is gorgeous. A lot of times I’ll read a book and go back and look at the cover and realize how the cover didn’t quite capture the story, or how there are bits of the cover which don’t quite fit with the tale inside. But in this case, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect showcase for The Devil’s Garden.

Two millennia after three clans and their leaders go through Eon’s Door to find sanctuary in the world of Erla, a prophecy left to them by the ancients that created the portal is coming true. Shorran, sage to the clans, has stolen the portal’s key and is using the “awesome” power that separated the worlds to tear apart the very soul of Nature. The key must be taken back and Eon’s Door closed before it’s too late.

I won a copy of Emily Veinglory’s book in a give away through her well-known review site, POD People, last year and just got around to reading it. I’m not much for M/M fantasy but since several of my recent reads fell into the supernatural/fantasy genre, I came across Father of Dragons on the book shelf and decided to keep going and read it as well.

Switched is the story of Wendy Everly. She’s different. She’s doesn’t fit it. She lives with her overly protective brother Matt and her Aunt Maggie. Wendy’s Mom tried to kill her when she was a child because she claimed Wendy wasn’t her daughter and that she’d been switched at birth. Wendy’s Mom is still locked up because of it, and maybe she was right.

Dead Forever: Awakening (Book 1 of a trilogy) by William Campbell brings us into a world of human beings who have cultivated reincarnation into a procedure essentially as simple as an appendix removal. You die and you get a brand new adult body, complete with all the emotional and experiential memories you possessed at death for an eternity of cycles. Sounds pretty good. Sign me up for bungee jumping, parachuting, etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although it’s for young readers (8-12) I think it could be enjoyed by any age group. The book is full of adventures and activities that young teens could relate to; horseback riding, skating, and listening to music, dances, relationships, shopping and homework. And of course there are adventures with good and evil and bits of magick scattered throughout the pages.

The Dead Don’t Cry. Sounds like a horror tale, perhaps set in a graveyard. The rest of the cover of Mark Anthony Lopez’s first novel proclaims it as a, “science fiction epic.” I’m not so sure about epic, but this is definitely science fiction, not horror.
