In an epic adventure to stop the Shadows from taking over every corner of the universe, Stormwaker by Kevin Cox follows Ambrielle and Gavian in their attempt to save the world. Having finally figured out a way to destroy the Nulthereals, Ambrielle and Gavian travel in search of the shadowstones while also trying to find a way to seal the rifts between worlds. Not as easy a task as it sounds and, to make matters worse, they have a sinister presence lurking around every corner, ready to strike. Stormwaker by Kevin Cox is a brilliant read following on from the third book. While it was easy enough to get into, I will advise reading the previous books. That being my only ‘criticism,’ I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book. As always, Cox is a master at world-building and every scene is so vividly described without getting overly wordy. The expansive worlds, races, and cultures you see in the book, along with the lore, make it such a joy to read because you really feel as though you’ve been transported to another world. The pacing was also really good, especially considering that this book takes place at a pinnacle point in the overall story. There were plenty of action and mysteries to uncover but what I loved most was how there was still so much of this world to be discovered within the story. This shows the amount of time and thought that went into this book. Stormwaker is genuinely good and well worth the read.

Jason Bishop is testing his latest project when he is whisked off to Snyder Industries for a meeting with its mysterious owner. Their most important artificial intelligence project has developed a glitch, and the top brass at Snyder Industries feel Jason is the best person to step in and rectify the problem. Jason has personal reasons for doing so as well. This project involves a paper he developed with a respected colleague who went missing while turning their work into a reality. Jason jumps at an opportunity to be part of something special and discover what happened to his friend, but he soon realizes there is more to this project than meets the eye in Kurt Petrey’s Breakout. Kurt Petrey blends technology and mystery into a one-of-a-kind adventure. In Breakout, Petrey takes his inspiration from the gradual invasion of artificial intelligence into everyday human activity and crafts a plausible story that could be our future. The characters have origin stories crafted to an impressive level of detail yet simple enough for the reader to follow. The pace is initially sedate but picks up as it progresses to where everything seems to be happening at breakneck speed in the final chapters. Petrey’s detailed and in-depth explanation of the science behind the plot creates certain instances that initially seem like information overload, as is evident in Jason’s intellectual conversations with Joseph. Still, closer analysis will show it is Petrey’s unique style of immersing the reader in the story and elevating the suspense as it approaches the conclusion. Breakout is an exceptional novel that will appeal to science fiction fans looking for something different and who are willing to think outside the box.
Maybe I'll Be an Architect written by Tenille Bettenhausen and beautifully illustrated by Ira Baykovska is a gem of a book. The protagonist, a little girl, wonders about her future career. In so doing, she tells us about so many career paths she could embark on. Each of these jobs is described and this gives our little ones great ideas. But what is essential in this book is that the little girl (who is not named on purpose, as she represents all the girls and boys from the whole world) never worries. She knows, deep down in her heart, that she would excel in whatever career path she chooses because she is hard-working, serious, and will give her best. Maybe I'll Be an Architect by Tenille Bettenhausen is the fabulous story of a little girl who wants to become an architect but explores her other options. What I loved about this children’s book is the enthusiasm for knowledge, the way hard work, motivation, and the desire to excel are paramount to her projects. The messages are clear and should be shared with all small children. The only thing that prevents you from succeeding and doing what you set your mind to is your beliefs. Believing you cannot do something is not going to help at all. This little girl is self-confident, conscious of what lies ahead, and ready to take on the challenge and that’s the beauty of this lovely story. The illustrations by Ira Baykovska are gorgeous and set this book apart. Thank you to both Tenille and Ira for this work of art!

All Hair Best by Elizabeth Stoops is a picture book for young children from ages 3-to 7, representing the different hair types and styles. The book shows children of all races and hair types at home, at school, and in the park. The children in the pictures are happy and busy with their various activities, playing and engaging with their friends of all races and hairstyles. Still, most importantly, all these children are engaged, showing them at their best and displaying how unique and special each of them is. All Hair Best includes bright and colorful illustrations that will get kids talking about an often-controversial topic, and they will learn from a young age that everyone is different and equally beautiful. All Hair Best is creative, bold, and deeply thoughtful. It is brilliant and effective in its simplicity – everything a children’s book should be, simplifying sensitive issues that adults, mainly, have complicated. All Hair Best by Elizabeth Stoops is a conversation starter, introducing the topic of acceptance in a manner that is easy to comprehend and relatable for young children. All Hair Best is a beautiful representation of diversity, including every hair type and style. I could already picture myself reading this book to my child and how they would tell me about their friends and which ones have which hairstyles. I think All Hair Best is not only educational but also can stimulate conversations between parents and children and, from a young age, show children that they and their friends are diverse, unique, and beautiful. I didn’t even know the names of some of the hairstyles before I read this book, so it has been an educational experience for me too.
Nothing can match that scent.
Lock’s Galactic Mess is a work of fiction in the science fiction, action, and adventure subgenres, and forms the opening novel of the Lock Ferguson vs. The Aliens book series. It is best suited to mature readers and contains explicit language throughout, as well as violence and situations of a sexual nature. Penned by author Jack Cullen, the story follows Lock Ferguson, a middle-aged janitor who, thirty years ago, had a bizarre encounter with an alien. Now, that same alien is back and intends to use Lock as a superweapon to destroy Earth. With the help of his quirky friends, Lock must harness his newfound powers to thwart the alien's plans and save the planet. Author Jack Cullen's writing is witty and filled with humor, making this sci-fi tale a thoroughly entertaining read that fans of the likes of Firefly and Star Trek are likely to enjoy. The characters, especially our loveable janitor Lock and his misfit friends, are endearing and relatable, penned with a keen sense of distinctive dialogue and plenty of witty back and forth. The blend of science fiction elements and comedy creates a unique and engaging narrative that keeps readers hooked from start to finish, with smooth pacing and inventive plot twists that are unpredictable. This book is the perfect escape for anyone looking for a lighthearted yet thrilling sci-fi adventure that combines the excitement of an alien encounter with the humor of everyday life. The work is imminently relatable because of its realistic core which really grounds the action and makes the payoff all the more spectacular when things get weird. Overall, Lock's Galactic Mess is a good start to what promises to be a fun and quirky series, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The Price of Thorns is a work of fiction in the epic fantasy, adventure, and LGBTQ+ fiction subgenres. It is intended for the young adult reading audience. In this superbly penned, cinematic novel by author Tim Susman, we are introduced to Nivvy, a skilled thief with many secrets. Nivvy is thrust into an epic task by Bella, a mysterious woman with an ancient past. The mission: steal back the kingdom she claims as her own. As Nivvy unravels the layers of truth and connections to ancient tales, he discovers the journey is far more perilous than anticipated. Bella's secrets intertwine with the forgotten narratives, revealing a dangerous adventure that surpasses the allure of stealing a kingdom. Author Tim Susman has crafted a narrative where the language of storytelling is not just a tool by which we discover the tale, but an integral part of the plot in a gloriously meta-themed way. The blend of mystery, adventure, and the uncovering of hidden histories creates a compelling story that keeps readers engaged from the first page to the last. I was really impressed with the pacing to keep such a meaty epic adventure going through episodic moments and with plenty of highs and lows in the drama. The characters, especially Nivvy and Bella, are intricately developed, with some fascinating dialogue that shows you how their attitudes have been shaped by the fantastical world around them and its many pressures and constraints. Susman's ability to weave a tale within a tale, where secrets are both currency and curse, showcases a unique and captivating storytelling style that is a rare gift indeed. The natural inclusion of LGBTQ+ theming and characters was gorgeously done as a true representation without ever feeling gimmicky. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend The Price of Thorns to fantasy fans everywhere as an unmissable read for the year ahead.

Asha is a star and is very proud to be one, including everything it represents. She also seeks to learn more about her home, the Valley of Stars, its history with the dark and ancient enemy of the stars, Hosheh, and the human world that stars are sworn to protect, Adama. However, this forbidden thirst and quest for knowledge leads to her exile. She is cast out from the sky and left to die, becoming a fallen star. However, where others die, Asha lives—with the help of a runaway Adamian, Yusra. Now Asha and Yusra will have to flee from people seeking to harvest a star’s parts and those after Yusra to have a chance at happiness. Find out what becomes of them in this young adult novel, The Valley of Stars, by Yona Katz. I enjoyed this book. I thought that Asha and Yusra were incredibly brave and resilient, and I loved how they bonded in times of adversity. The Valley of Stars is more character-driven than plot-driven; Yona Katz shows how Asha and Yusra grow individually and together, moving from doubt and mistrust to learning to be independent and forming strong bonds with each other. They also make many friends along the way. I think the nature of the plot in The Valley of Stars is a splendid way to introduce the series, and I enjoyed the snippets promising hidden depths to Hosheh, the dark and ancient enemy of the stars. I will definitely look out for the sequels!
