Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Rumor Has It by Cat Rambo




The Thing is back with a crew of astounding diversity.   Tubal Last is still chasing them.  The Thing, a sentient bioship is still experimenting with its identity.  The ship docks at Coralind and their troubles begin.

Captain Niko seems to be as much a peacemaker as a ship’s Captain.   Coralind’s festival provides the setting for all the troubles that occur.   The sentient bio-system that functions as the planetoid’s governor and chief engineer is an old friend of Captain Niko.  

Darby, the intelligent chimp and executive officer makes a soul-shaking discovery.

Atlanta, the “heir” to an empire or simply a disinformation clone, comes into her own while discovering the nature of a paladin.

The plot is complicated by a paranoid, vengeance-driven Gnarl Grusson who will stop at nothing to harm Niko.

Multiple plots, entertaining characters, and exotic settings characterize the book.

I recommend it.

Witch Queen of Redwinter by Ed McDonald

Five Stars

Raine is back and now she is Bad! She finds and loses love and thinks she faces two great evils to discover that they are one and the same.  She also discovers that she is capable of things she never dreamed of being able to do, both ethically and physically. 

My previous review noted my frustration with Raine’s whining insecurity.   This in some ways doubled and decreased simultaneously.  

The book abounds with monsters, true villains and some not actually villainy villains. There is plenty of action, magic and surprises. 

I enjoyed the book and the conclusion the author crafted.
