*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. 4.5 starsA cool addition in listening to the audiobook for me, we get small sound effects! There's a noise that matches the waterfall, lightly in the background to give us the feel of the story with the...
Dorothy returns to Oz is a sort of steampunk revolution.A good read, but the story felt rushed in some places. The overall idea was good, though, and well worth the time spent on it (not the money; it was free!)
Okay first off I am going to say we all know I love fantasy. I adore it and I adore short stories. It is what got me started as a writer. But! And there is a but. You see one of the things that drives me nuts is a story where the author is taking themselves too seriously. They are not writing a st...
I just can't pass up a superhero novel. Few rise above mediocre, but they're like space operas, I am always looking for the one that shines above the rest.Nobody Gets the Girl is better than average. The worldbuilding and the plotting was excellent. James Maxey creates an internally consistent world...
Greatshadow, the first book of The Dragon Apocalypse by James Maxey, reminds me in so may ways of the TSR quest-driven novels I cut my fantasy teeth on so many years ago.

In only one place did I think the dialogue lagged a bit (there’s a conflict of dragons in the second half and I thought it was resolved a little t...
This book is in the top 10 of my favorite new reads of the year. I know, I’m being blunt. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was chewing through 50-100 pages a night and only put it down when I was too fatigued to read any more. This book turned me into a little kid – I didn’t want to sleep, or do th...
This book wasn't bad; I really kind of liked it. I liked that the dragons were actually the main focus, as opposed to being a convenient backdrop for the human cast. That said, the dragons were just a bit too strange for me. Too civilized, almost too human in themselves. I'm all for intelligent, cun...
Maxey's Dragon Age Trilogy is my first taste of cross genre fiction, and having finished reading Dragonseed I'm left to admire the ingenuity of the author for his weave of multiple plots and characters in this science fiction-fantasy adventure. His crisp prose made for an easy reading and the plot i...
