Everything in my box!
Only The Stones Survive by Morgan Llywelyn ($10.24)
Morgan Llywelyn, author of the Irish Century series of historical novels and for Lion of Ireland, weaves Irish mythology, historical elements, and ancient places in the Irish landscape to create a riveting tale of migration, loss, and transformation in Only the Stones Survive.
For centuries the Túatha Dé Danann lived in peace on an island where time flowed more slowly and the seasons were gentle—until the invaders came. The Gaels came looking for easy riches and conquest, following the story of an island to the west where their every desire could be granted.
After a happy and innocent childhood, Joss was on the cusp of becoming a man when the Gaels slaughtered the kings and queens of the Túatha Dé Danann. Left without a mother and father, he must unite what is left of his people. Even broken and scattered, Joss and his people are not without strange powers.
At the Publisher’s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
The story synopsis is printed at the back of the book.
For fans of Irish mythology, this would be a compelling read. Although it started slow, the pace became more steady as the story progressed. It’s charming and definitely rich in detail!
There are some heartbreaking parts, but overall, there’s a message of hope in this story! We thoroughly enjoyed this book!
The Lost Puzzler by Eyal Kless ($5.35)
A brilliantly written, page-turning, post-dystopian debut from Eyal Kless, about a society hoping to salvage the technology of a lost generation, a mysterious missing boy who can open doors no one else can, and a scribe who must piece together the past to determine humanity’s future.
More than a hundred years have passed since the Catastrophe brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Those who survived are changed. The Wildeners have reverted to the old ways—but with new Gods—while others place their faith in the technology that once powered their lost civilization.
In the mysterious City of Towers, the center of the destroyed Tarakan empire, a lowly scribe of the Guild of Historians is charged with a dangerous assignment. He must venture into the wilds beyond the glass and steel towers to discover the fate of a child who mysteriously disappeared more than a decade before. Born of a rare breed of marked people, the child, Rafik—known as “The Key”—was one of a special few with the power to restore this lost civilization to glory once again.
In a world riven by fear and violence, where tattooed mutants, manic truckers, warring guilds and greedy mercenaries battle for survival, this one boy may have singlehandedly destroyed humanity’s only chance for salvation—unless the scribe can figure out what happened to him.
The back cover features the story synopsis and also has a short author bio.
The story explores a post-dystopian world, and along with the main character, we get to learn how it works little by little. The build-up is good, and it kept us on the edge of our seats until the end!
The world-building is really good and satisfying. Add well-fleshed-out characters into the mix, and the readers are in for a treat! This is another enjoyable book that was hard to put down!
We never run out of good reads because of BookCase.Club! This month’s sci-fi picks are just too good, they kept us busy reading for a while. One involves Irish mythology and the other is a post-dystopian novel. Both of them are well-written and engaging. We’ve discovered some of the best sci-fi books from this subscription, as well as promising authors! If you’re also looking into building your book collection, this book subscription makes a fun and convenient way of doing so!
