The Death Bringer (The Tharassas Cycle Book 4) by J. Scott Coatsworth
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: Did some research after reading
Cover: Matches the story well I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, that my favourite part of the series is the worldbuilding. Coatsworth seamlessly integrates science fiction and fantasy, and the blend results in a world that is incredibly alien and yet hauntingly familiar. Reviewed on |

The Dragon Eater (The Tharassas Cycle Book 1) by J. Scott Coatsworth
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: Did some research after reading
Cover: Adequately represents the story Coatsworth’s talent undeniably lies in worldbuilding. Alien artifacts! Monsters! World-altering revelations! This is an alien world rich in history. It reads initially like a fantasy novel, but the more we learn...you realise that this is actually a sci-fi novel. Reviewed on |
