(Left) The cover of The Third Wish, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

A wizard in a black robe that glitters with hints of gold stands on a mountain and looks down at a city of sky scrapers covered in greenery. In his shadow lurks a creature with glowing red eyes.

In the background, the sun is setting and stars are becoming visible.

(Right Background) Four images separated by black lines, with the silhouette of a woman wielding two swords laid over them. She's outlined in black and her interior is yellow clock-based imagery that spirals outward from the center.

The upper left quarter is a queen in a red, furred robe, wearing a gold and diamond crown. She has dark eyebrows and blond hair.

Upper right is a planet seen from orbit.

Lower left is a symbolic wire frame representation of the view inside a wormhole, in green and yellow.

Lower right is dandelions among grass.

The angle of the planet, one of the woman's swords, the yellow highlights of the wormhole and some of the dandelions form a line that draws the eye along a sweeping curve.

(Right Foreground) The following quote:

He admired the flawless beauty of the insane swordswoman’s fluid movements as Ida took desperate step after step, backwards!

He felt waves of mental energy pour off the panic-stricken troll, but the energy bounced right off of Nicole’s mind, as though she’d shut herself inside a solid, red-hot, steel box of rage!

I've finished: City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett After I finished A Drop of Corruption, I was looking for more Robert Jackson Bennett. City of Stairs is similar enough to the Shadow of the Leviathan Series to feel very familiar yet not so similar you feel like your reading the same story in a different location. This time the female is the lead, but she isn't infallible, and the male partner is an uncannily capable muscle. Like in the Leviathan novels, The story begins with a murder investigation that then reveals more and more about the world, the gods, the old imperial power and the new. Neither political system is admirable but our heroine intends to try and change things for the better. The premise is also quite unique, What if the rebels found a way to kill the empire's gods? What would an empire that has lost not only its gods but everything that was powered by their miracles look like after decades of occupation? <a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/b092604c-3cdd-4088-9691-e3ce2d6d577d" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="app.thestorygraph.com/books/b092604c-3cdd-4088-9691-e3ce2d6d577d">https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/b092604c-3cdd-4088-9691-e3ce2d6d577d</a>@bookstodon @audiobooks <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/amreading/" rel="tag">#amReading</a> <a href="/tags/robertjacksonbennett/" rel="tag">#RobertJacksonBennett</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/audiobooks/" rel="tag">#AudioBooks</a>

I've finished: The Stupidest Angel by Christopher MooreI can't believe It's possible to say this about a Christopher Moore novel, but The Stupedest Angels is over the top. The characters are taken so far they are no longer sympathetic, some are psychopaths and some are pathetic. Theo is the only one left with any shred of decency.

a paperback copy of Relics From a Traveling Show by K. M. Herkes stands on a raised dais against a light blue background. To the right are two 5 star reviews. The first reads. "Perfect. No notes. It's one of those that each one is your favorite, and then you read the next one and now it's your favorite." The second reads, "A collection of genius writing across many genres. I have seldom come across a collection of short stories I enjoyed so much, with such variety."
The image on the cover of the book is a painting of a figure in a green and blue traveling cloak, shown from the rear, seated at a desk gazing out an arched window at a carnival tent bathed in sunset light. The figure has short brown hair, and they are petting the ears of a dog sitting beside them. The dog's mouth is open in a happy doggy grin. An eldritch lamp decorates the desk, beside a binder labeled "DPS Orientation Guide." At the left stands a tall bookshelf filled with artifacts, books, and knickknacks. A bonsai tree sits on the windowsill, and a pair of sinister glowing eyes lurk in the shadows behind the chair.

Journeys of the Catechist - A celebration of weirdness

The weirdest book series I read last year is Journeys of the Catechist by Alan Dean Foster. This is a trilogy of:Carnivores of Light and Darkness (1998)Into the Thinking Kingdoms (1999)A Triumph of Souls (2000)The basic premise is simple: in a remote backwater, a simple goatherder finds a shipwreck along with a dying man, who with his dying breath passes on his quest to save a princess from an evil sorcerer. Due to the traditions of this simple goatherder’s culture, someone’s dying wish cannot be ignored. Thus, he shares the news to his wife and family, gets some supplies & various items from his village, and heads out to find this faraway land he has never heard of.The story is composed entirely of episodic chapters where the main character travels to one weird place after another where something magical or unusual happens. The main character observes the weirdness, appreciates it, understands what it is, and moves on. Every now and then he utilizes one of the many magical items he received from the wise people of his village. As the story goes on, he picks up a few companions who add personality to the otherwise monotone main character’s solo adventuring.The series’ weakest point is the plot, which is essentially given in the first paragraph of this review. The character arcs are essentialy non-existent. However, the series makes up for its downsides with the extremely unusual and imaginative worldbuilding: among the many stops along the journey, we meet a dog that is also a witch who herds lightning bolts, a kraken that became a huge caffeine addict after attacking a coffee shipment, and a town where fish swim through the air and no one considers it odd.Verdict: If you read other books out there and find yourself saying, “I’ve already seen this a hundred times before”, you will find Journeys of the Catechist a positive surprise.

I've tried getting a community of people together to critique Age of Aquarius, I've tried sending it to individuals looking for feedback, so here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to just throw Age of Aquarius out there chapter by chapter and invite public comment on it.If you are interested in critiquing (and perhaps playtesting) a radical anti-capitalist contemporary RPG based on the Apocalypse Engine, please follow my account and bookmark this thread. I'm going to put the introduction up right away.Elevator pitch: it's a few years in the future, and magic is returning to the world. Billionaires are turning into dragons, and ordinary people are awakening into legend-born -- developing spontaneous magical abilities, bizarre new physical forms, and alien neurodivergent thought processes. In a world that has been sent spinning on its axis, your characters must cope with radical change, face the responsibility that comes with sudden power, build community and solidarity, and decide what kind of future they want to fight for.You may post your comments here, or you may email me privately at xauriel@xaurielzwaan.ca. Also please email me if you want comment permission on the document. Be aware, assholes will be blocked with prejudice; I'm pretty tough but please be kind.<a href="/tags/ttrpg/" rel="tag">#TTRPG</a> <a href="/tags/pbta/" rel="tag">#PbtA</a> <a href="/tags/anticapitalist/" rel="tag">#Anticapitalist</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#Fantasy</a>

(Left) The cover of The Next Horizon, by Owen Tyme.

The black silhouette of a man and woman embracing. They stand atop the dark side of a planet or moon in space, which has a slim crescent along the right side. The background is the stars of space, but some have been highlighted with a heart shape that surrounds the couple. Everything is in shades of blue.

(Right) Deep space, displaying the edge of an orange and blue gaseous cloud from a nebula, while most of the stars appear golden in color. Floating in space is a square, red leather book with the image of a newt stamped on the cover. Over the top of everything is the following text:

“You can back down and cooperate, right now, or Marta will hit you so hard, you should reach a tenth the speed of light…”

“No one will ever find you again, but even if someone does, there’s no way they’ll have the capacity to safely slow you down, before you’re gone to them!”
