Nerds of a Feather

My review of A Trade of Blood, the latest fantasy mystery in Robert Jackson Bennett's Shadow of the Leviathan series, is up at @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social. Like the first two books, great fun and expert character work combined with genuinely interesting social speculation. Great stuff.

Book Review: A Trade of Blood by Robert Jackson BennettMeat is murder This is a book about murder and forced labour as well as the cost of beef. And the last is quite probably the most important....www.nerds-feather.com

Like just about everyone else, I have opinions about Nolan’s Odyssey. Read all about it if you’re not Odysseyed out.

As I've said before, I'm enjoying the level of intense, insightful, often contradictory commentary that The Odyssey has provoked, as commantators approach it in a thousand different ships. This is another of those thoughtful takes, one that gets to the purpose of this particular telling.

Guys, this was a stunning trilogy. Book 1 came out nearly 10 years ago, but it is painfully relevant to the current world, and also timelessly relevant in its clear-eyed view of people and society. I try to express how much I loved it over on Nerds of a Feather today.

I still think about this series often. The world, the characters, the fascism felt both nuanced and sharp. Recommended, esp if you want sff with art deco architecture and vaguely 1920s vibe.

The Gods Must Burn by T R Moore, a dark fantasy novel about trauma, violence and love. #booksky #fantasy #SFF

The Gods Must BurnThe Gods Must Burn by T. R. Moore is an interesting novel in two ways. The first is that the main character is someone who is deeply traumatised by violence - both that they've committed themselves but also that they've done to others. Basuin is, or was, a soldier. He signed up as a seventeen year old after his way of life was destroyed by the very army he joined.stewarthotston.com

Was really happy to review that rare beast, a piece of D & D tie-in fiction in the 2020s, for @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social. C L Polk's The Feywild Job v much reads as an update of the TSR tie-ins I devoured in the 90s for a modern audience. & that's both welcome & just a *slight* disappointment.
