Books are Awesomeness!

I'm posting book images again, to see if we can eclipse the Book Magic (because books are awesome!) post that always hits the top of the list for views. Shall we see what happens? Share everywhere!

Multiverse Review: Soul Cypher


Planet Fruitcake! Yes, indeed, this is exactly where one goes when delving into the pages of Soul Cypher! I read loads of Poppet books, but this one is different, this one is a laugh a second, a snort of surprise every moment. From ‘teletubbies’ and purple alcohol to Reaper the guard ‘dog’ and insane gods, this is a crazy adventure.

Love Taniya’s voice! Really, really wish I have the gumption she has, the ability to totally speak her mind and never mind the consequences! Understand, though, folk will be looking at you as if you are utterly mad when you begin to giggle … never mind, Amrak will zap them!


Seriously folks, looking for something different? Soul Cypher is it. Loads of laughs, hugely clever, and an awesome quest also. Brilliant!

Multiverse Review: Satanarium


Satanarium
By Troy Lambert and Poppet

Holy Hades! This is quite the read! An insane cult of bible-pushing bastards bent on ‘saving’ the sinners out there, with extreme emphasis on women as the ultimate Satan.

It’s graphic and violent, and every page causes a gut reaction. This is the literal Word, and as you read you wonder if you’ll be the same in the aftermath. 

Definitely not for the faint-hearted, and certainly not for the narrow-minded. Read it only if you dare, if you are able to see around the corners of curves, if you are prepared for total onslaught! 

This reader is awed by the knowledge of the bible displayed by the writers- this is clever work, a well-structured tale of torture and manipulation that certainly makes you think. The author notes at the end of Satanarium gift readers some food for further thought also!  


Well done to the writers for daring this, because it’s bound to be controversial … but don’t you just love a bit of controversy??!!

Multiverse Review: The Ninth Taghairm: Redemption


This has the elements of a great romance- two cursed beings brought together to become each other’s salvation. Gadin, a vaimpíre, and Talula, an oracle forced to endure life after life after surrendering her soul to save her daughter. There are great ancient legends and ancient gods here that serve to drive the tale- intriguing indeed- and the author employed the ancient concepts well, revealing a wonderful imagination to the reader.


While I did enjoy The Ninth Taghairm: Redemption, I also, however, found this to be a light read. With all these great concepts present I thought there would be more depth, more soul-searching. I hoped to really identify with the characters, and merely found them interesting. Still, if you’re looking for a romance with a definite supernatural twist, something forbidden, something of time itself, you won’t be disappointed.

Multiverse Review: Master of Umbra

Master of Umbra
by
Poppet


Blown away! That’s what I am after reading Master of Umbra! The second book in the Valhalla series is just brilliant, and I thought it couldn't get better after reading Master of Miasma (book 1). Let nothing take away from book 1, though, because it sets the scene needed for Umbra to work as well as it does and you have to read it first.

Ewan, Eagle clan chief, possesses the kind of strength that drives a story, and yet has an astounding moral core one completely falls for (astounding, because, come on, he’s meant to be a berserker!!!).  Yes, reader, you will LOVE Ewan! And you will wonder a bit about his side-kick Gunn…

Deliah has a terrible past and is lost until the Eagle clan brings her into the fold, but, boy, does she cause waves to rise and crash against those walls of darkness and muscle!

When Emma and Macala from Miasma join with the larger-than-life characters in Umbra, know sparks are about to become infernos. The Eagles and Ravens are kin…can they work together to defeat the real enemy, the Wolf clan???

You will love the ancient legends and histories brought to life, and the amazing and imaginative settings. Mostly, in my opinion, you will love the author’s brilliant imagery; this is poetry on every page.

The answer lies in Master of Skadi…and I cannot wait to find out what happens!

5 stars! Well deserved. 5 stars for the entire series! Well done, Poppet!
