Today’s review is about SILENCE IS SILVER by Andrew Watson. It’s a prequel novella to the Shadowbinders trilogy. However, it reads as a standalone. In a society where its citizens learn to tolerate pain, Bas is no different. But a series of events cause him to question his place amongst these people.

A Princess of Oldir by Bryan Wilson

SFINCS Review: A Princess of Oldir by Bryan Wilson

Published on by Celeste1 Comment

Today’s review is about A PRINCESS OF OLDIR by Bryan Wilson. It’s part of the Power of the Stars series, but easily reads as a standalone. This sci-fi novella is about a ruling family losing power and a neighboring planet taking advantage of the situation. I found this reminiscent of Dune.
