Book Reviews: Lost Gods

Lost Gods 

by Brom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finished just in time to put this down and not be stuck in purgatory prior to a surgery (I’m healing well). I felt it would be bad luck. I want to say lol, but I’m only half kidding that it felt like bad luck.

This was Brom’s weakest book to date I’ve read. It lacked likeable or even interesting humans (yes the gods are awesome but that wasn’t enough), a cohesive plot (that was lost in the prose); yet it has Brom’s gorgeous literary style and descriptions that make it worth a read if you’re devoted to Brom and his works (as I am).

Book Review: And Then She Vanished

And Then She Vanished 

by Nick Jones
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This time travel story was okay. Nothing overly special. I anticipated the big twist fairly early on but that was okay. The writing is good enough; but it was a debut and I’m sure the rest of the series does improve. I’ll be honest and say I’m not sure I’ll continue with the series; but that’s only because I didn’t love the characters. I didn’t hate them but they just didn’t stick for me.
Greatly appreciated the physics that is brought into the concept of time travel and the rules established. That was very well done; without being too dry or boring.
Overall this is a good enough book. I wouldn’t dissuade anyone from reading it; but it’s not an immediate recommendation either.
If you love time travel stories then check it and see what you think.

Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.
