Review- Curse of the Spider King, by Wayne Thomas Batson and Christopher Hopper

This month’s CSFFBT book is “Curse of the Spider King”, book one of “The Berinfell Prophecies” series.  It is written by Wayne Thomas Batson & Christopher Hopper.
My first impression when seeing the title & target audience was that it was going to be a good book, but not super impressive.  So I wasn’t as excited about [...]

Book Review: Sir Dalton & The Shadow Heart- By Chuck Black

I was invited to review “Sir Dalton And The Shadow Heart”.  It’s book three of Chuck Black’s series “The Knights of Arrethrae”.  I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, or any of Chuck’s other books, so I can’t speak to how it fits in the series.  However, I do have some thoughts on [...]

Review: “The Vanishing Sculptor”, by Donita K. Paul

So I’ve heard about Donita for a little while now, and wasn’t sure what to expect.  Too often things don’t live up to the hype.  But I was very happy I had the chance to read her work, and after reading it I found I wasn’t disappointed.

See what the Rave’n is all about. Review #3 of Tuck, by Stephen R. Lawhead

And now we’ll look at the novel itself, Tuck by Stephen R. Lawhead.
Tuck was a fun story to read.  There were many elements that drew me into the time period and setting, but not so much so that I had to struggle to understand what was happening.  There was even a Pronunciation Guide at the beginning [...]

Review #2 of what you thought you knew: Tuck, by Stephen R. Lawhead

Tuck was definitely a fun read.  Let’s consider part of what made that possible… the Setup.
I think most of us have at some point enjoyed the Robin Hood tale.  The legend has been presented with a Disney twist to young folks, and they’ve been loving it since the 1973 release of the movie.  Of course pop culture has many [...]

Bound to Impress! Review #1: Tuck, by Stephen Lawhead.

Tuck, book three of the King Raven Trilogy.  By Stephen R. Lawhead.  Published by Thomas Nelson.
I enjoyed reading Tuck.  But before getting into the content of this book, I want to comment on the class of the publisher.  They didn’t send out their cheapest copies for reviews.  They sent a hard cover copy, and with [...]
