Sure, we all know about what happens when 2 becomes 1 (thank you Spice Girls), but in my exclusive interview with science fantasy writer C.T. Rwizi, we discuss what happens when 2 becomes 3.

Black Fantasy TBR Part 2

Part 1 is here.

Since the last segment of my tbr was more focused on standalone novels and duologies, this list will be more focused on trilogies and longer series. Aside from the first 8 series mentioned here being a mix of adult fantasy and epic fantasy (I know the Acacia trilogy, especially, is an epic fantasy that's been frequently compared to Game of Thrones in reviews), there's no real order to these books either. And ofc, please look up age ratings and trigger warnings :) For simplicities sake I only put the first book of each series on this list.

Book Review: Scarlet Odyssey by C.T. Rwizi

Rating: 4/5 stars

This book had a perfect combination of interesting characters, interesting setting, and an intriguing plot. I loved that this book really allowed the reader to explore this in-depth world and its customs, legends, and magic systems. It could be hard to follow at times for some, but I think the author did a remarkable job of drawing the reader into this world. I enjoyed each POV in the book and the plot had just enough mystery and suspense to keep me intrigued.

Currently Reading (8/16)

My fall semester starts next week, so my list of currently reading will probably narrow down quite a bit as I have less free time to flip between books.

The Club by Ellery Lloyd - I never get to recent purchases this quickly! But it helps when the person you bought it with also wants to read it so my goal is to get it to her sooner rather than later. Mom, don't get any ideas!

Scarlet Odyssey (Scarlet Odyssey, #1) by C.T. Rwizi - Still plugging away. I'm about a quarter of the way and am definitely intrigued to keep going.

The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal - I'm pretty sure I removed this from my Goodreads TBR shelf but here we are... I'm not sure how I feel about this but it's available on Scribd as an audiobook. So meh.

The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy by Anna Clark - Made a little bit of progress this week. I think I have a hundred pages left not including the notes and citations?

Recently Finished

Race Against Time: A Reporter Reopens the Unsolved Murder Cases of the Civil Rights Era by Jerry Mitchell - 5 stars! I would highly recommend picking this one up. Now, to pass this along to my mom for her to read.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Jack Finney - 4 stars! This one was fine. I'm glad I read it as a science fiction and horror classic. But it left me wanting more

#REVIEW: Requiem Moon, by C.T. Rwizi

#REVIEW: Requiem Moon, by C.T. Rwizi

Y’all. I keep telling y’all to read more African fantasy and science fiction literature. I have been on this for at least a couple of years now. C.T. Rwizi was born in Zimbabwe, raised in Swaziland and currently lives in South Africa, and his phenomenal debut novel Scarlet Odyssey was my favorite book of last year. I have had the sequel, Requiem Moon, pre-ordered for months. It jumped to the top…

Magic is women?s work; war is men?s. But in the coming battle, none of that will matter.Men do not become mystics. They become warriors.

DISCLAIMER : Thank you, Netgalley and 47th North for providing me with an ARC of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Scarlet Odyssey is an epic debut from the first-time author…

[paulsemel]

While most sci-fi / fantasy mash-ups inject the latter into the former, in my exclusive interview with author C.T. Rwizi, he says his novel "Scarlet Odyssey" takes the opposite approach.
