Without Opposite: A Philosophical Adventure by Marcel Eschauzier
3.0
Without Opposite weaves in and out of realities, and, to be honest, it was a bit beyond me. I think if you know or love philosophy, you might get a lot more out of the story than I did. But there are some great lines like "You discover your destiny by creating it." And some of the writing evokes rich imagery. I guess you'll need to check it out for yourself to see what you think. And it will make you think.
Killers! by Thomas A. Burns Jr.
2.0
Killers! revolves around the hunt for a serial killer. Some parts are well written; some parts are action-packed and page-turning. But I couldn’t get into the overall story - or how it was presented. There were too many serial killers for me to follow. The BDSM sections seemed written for titillation, not to move the story along.
The slang didn’t come off well, and there were errors with the tense and other grammatical misuses that pulled me out of the story once too often. I didn’t like how McMasters' viewpoint was in first person, and the other characters were third. The journal entries from one character were italicized at the beginning and then regular text with dialogue later on. Some readers can probably overlook all these issues and will enjoy the book, but it was too much for me to enjoy the story.

The Game and the Board by Florian Armas, Florian Armas
4.0
The Game and the Board: The War of the Rainbow Wizards by Florian Armas is an intriguing story with good worldbuilding. Some parts are very well written. Armas is very creative and a talented writer, which is why I’ve given the book four stars. It was a bit much for me, though, but epic fantasy is not my favorite genre. I found the many characters hard to follow, and wasn’t sure how some parts of the book fit in together. There is definitely talent here, so perhaps you need to read the book to see what you think for yourself.
