A friend of mine suggested I read this book since I already barreled through a lot of Rick Riordan’s books. But what’s different is that this is a “Rick Riordan Presents” book. Now, from my understand, this is a publishing company that Riordan is involved in with his editor Stephanie Lurie. Reading the description on … Continue reading Book Review: Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

Discussion in World Building – Community, Society and History
Over the past few months, I had been struggling with progressing book 3’s story. I thought I had everything planned out and set to write this sequel without issue. However, similar to book 1 and 2, as I wrote, I started to notice other characters and story elements were developing far more than I had … Continue reading Discussion in World Building – Community, Society and History
Book Review: Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard #3 – The Ship of the Dead
Truth be told, the main reason I read The Heroes of Olympus and The Trials of Apollo was so that I could finish The Magnus Chase series. I had read the 2nd book in The Magnus Chase series and it contained a slight spoiler for The Heroes of Olympus. I was a bit annoyed by … Continue reading Book Review: Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard #3 – The Ship of the Dead
Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing – Basic Overview
Someone recently asked me about my experience and research regarding publishing and everything that went with it. I wrote out what I had learned and what I had wished I had known before publishing my first book back in 2017. Since then I’ve learned a lot about publishing through research from other authors and companies. … Continue reading Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing – Basic Overview
Book Review: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard – The Hammer of Thor
Oh my goodness there are quite a few disclaimers for this book. First and foremost the ending does have spoilers for The Heroes of Olympus series. I believe now that Riordan intended for his audience to read the books in order so I won’t be finishing the series until I read the previous series unfortunately. … Continue reading Book Review: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard – The Hammer of Thor
Book Review: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard – The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
Ever since I finished the Percy Jackson series, I felt more inspired to continue my own writing. The infusion of Greek mythology and modern day life (modern for the time I suppose) was a fun twist. When I picked up Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard box set, I imagined that it would be … Continue reading Book Review: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard – The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Last Olympian
The end of the Percy Jackson series, Percy Jackson and The Olympians - The Last Olympian is a fun and enjoyable read. It’s drenched in references and character growth that makes the series worth investing in. As much as I loved it though, there were still a few issues that could have made it the … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Last Olympian
Book Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Battle of The Labyrinth
Continuing the Percy Jackson series, The Battle of The Labyrinth feels a lot more action packed than the previous novels. There’s also a surprising amount of character development, however not all of it is for the best unfortunately. I will say however if you do read the book to ignore the reviews on the back … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Battle of The Labyrinth
Book Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Titan’s Curse
Continuing my journey through the Percy Jackson series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Titan’s Curse proves to be an exciting and fun story. I didn’t expect to have my own perception of Greek heroes scrutinized to the degree we see here. I wasn’t expecting The Titan’s Curse to be as dark and complex … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Titan’s Curse
Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Sea of Monsters
The Percy Jackson series continues to surprise me with how much I’ve been enjoying it. I’ve always been a sucker for an Odyssey style of story, one where the heroes travel from place to place and explore the world. In that respect, The Sea of Monsters does not disappoint. While there is some more world building and … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Sea of Monsters
