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.

Today’s review is about BLACKCAP by Benjamin Aeveryn. Though part of the Rainfallen universe, this novella stands on its own and is easy to follow. It’s a paranormal mystery in which Kade switches from sleuthing out human criminals, and inadvertently sending some to their deaths, to helping solve paranormal cases.

Today’s review is about RUINS OF SMOKE by João F. Silva. It is a novella within The Smokesmiths series. It jumps right into the action of saving an empire from an evil entity, with a very cool magic system to boot.

Today’s review is about THE RE-EMERGENCE by Alan K. Dell. It’s a science fiction novella that stands on its own. It features a sentience satellite that alerts the crew of a ship to the nearby presence of ancient wanderers, now believed to be myth.
