Don's review of the month: Warcry by Elizabeth Vaughan: "WarCry once again
shows that Elizabeth Vaughan is one of the strongest writers in Fantasy Romance. Not only
does she once again give us a compelling love story arising between two very different
people from very different worlds (this time between Heath and Atira), she continues and
expands upon the romantic journey of Kier and Lara from her initial trilogy of books and
manages to expand upon the incredibly detailed and logically consistent world-building of
her entire fantasy series, now seven volumes in the making. Along the way, we not only get
passion and intrigue and action, we get revelations about the mindset of the Plains
warriors and interesting twists and turns in the political situation Kier and Lara face in
Xy. Near the end, we also get a hint of changes coming to both the Plains and Xy, which
development will create even more opportunities for adventures in the beautiful and
interesting world. Here are links for other's reviews of Don's latest book, Net Impact: "Superlative Spy Thriller" says author B.R. Robb. "Realistic Spy Thriller for the Modern Age" says author Paul Genesse. "Net Impact was a great read and has completely changed my perspective on spy thrillers." says Geekcentricity.com.
