Change of Chaos (Change, #1)

Change of Chaos by Jacinta Jade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

A great book. This is a great start to a series. I really enjoyed this book. It was a lot bigger then I was expecting. The story is great, the characters are realistic and relatable.

The book takes a slowish pace, but this is perfect for the story. One thing I was very impressed about in this book was the author stuck to terminology she had created like cycles for years, spans for hour all the way through the book. That is a great achievement in a first book. The only thing I was not sure about is the main character Siray seems to be 10 years old by my reckoning. That is a little young for a main heroin or hero. However there is nothing to say a cycle is exactly the same length of our standard years.

The pace of the book is perfect. It really allowed me to get to know, like that characters. Especially Siray, and watching her journey built my respect for her. Excellent character development and empire building.

The book end on a vow, that I can't wait to see what happens next. I an really looking forward to the next book of the series.

The Musketeers

The Musketeers by Terry Kavanagh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An ok series. I would have said good if it was not so rushed. Also, the origin and back story are contained in GFT issue 2. This is not included in this TPB or I would have given this a solid 4 stars.

The book is action packed, and fast paced. However this is a double edged sword. This book is fast paced to the point of rushed, and the when a twist come up, I simply did not know enough about the characters to be fully invested. Personally I think an extra issue for character development was really necessary.

Apart from the fact that that there are 3 of the characters this has nothing else in common with the 3 Musketeers. There background us given in the story is easy to price together, but the rushed character development is what really hurt this mini series. Though I do look forward to seeing what these Musketeers get up to next.

This gallery at the back contains all a,b,c,d covers of all the separate issues in A4 format.

From a Certain Point of View (Star Wars)

From a Certain Point of View by Ben Acker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A very mixed bag of stories. Some great, some awesome, a few slow, and a couple I just did not see the point of. There are some very big name Star Wars authors in this book, new Disney era authors.

I really thought the concept of this book was a great innovation. Right from the last moment of Rogue One to the end of Star Wars A New Hope. Each short story moves the story along scene by scene. However the twist is it is not just the author that changes, but the story is told from a side character, an extra or a main characters side story.

There were many great stories in this book, but there were a couple of stories that were way too slow, and a couple I just did not think added anything to Star Wars universe in general. The was a story staring a Disney era Star Wars comic star.

The final breakdown, I loved the first 100 pages, was not sure about the next 100, confused for the next 50, and the it returned in force till the end. The last story was a bit of an in joke which did make me laugh so it ended well and brought the whole thing up to a ok book, but now quite good or great. However I would like to emphasise my respect for all the authors who contributed their time and effort for free. All the money from this book go to the First Book charity organisation.

Fearless (Elite Doms of Washington, #5)

Fearless by Elizabeth SaFleur
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have no connection to Elizabeth SaFleur.

A good book. We all know oppersites attract. However here it seems likes do as well. If they have something or someone in common.

Sarah is the last woman standing. All of her extended family and fellow tribunal members have paired up. Walls of disciple and procedure, have made her giving to her friends, but closed off in her own life. The last time she gave into weakness was 2 years ago. Now is the perfect time for a reappearance bearing a gift.

I like the was the stars of previous book of the series return a great supporting characters in this book. More the the other books a much greater emphasis is put on the structure relationships of this world. The doms and subs and how the fit together.

A good continuation of the series leading up to a big finale it seems.
