The De-Coding of Jo: Keys to Eternity

The De-Coding of Jo: Keys to Eternity by Lali A. Love
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The third installment of an excellent fantasy series...

Lali A. Love's novel, The De-Coding of Jo: Keys to Eternity (Ascending Angel Academy Book 3), is a well-written and well-paced work that features an interesting and intricate plot. The world-building is very good, with detailed descriptions of both the settings and the characters. The characters are intricate and multi-dimensional, each with their own unique goals and aspirations that serve as the impetus for the plot's progression. Ultimately, making a fantasy world that directly parallels the real world can be a potent way to engage with the happenings of the modern world and the problems that exist in the real world. The author creates a fictional universe that feels profoundly familiar and wonderfully new by drawing on the rich tapestry of human history and culture. This allows the reader to experience the best of both worlds. Since this novel cannot stand on its own, reading books 1 and 2 is strongly suggested before reading this one. Five stars from me.

Ring Around the Circle: A Story of 'Philantasy'

Ring Around the Circle: A Story of 'Philantasy' by Ralph Pilolli
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An intriguing storyline that held my attention throughout...

“Ring Around the Circle” by Ralph Pilolli is a well-written book that had me engaged from the beginning and maintained my interest throughout. The pacing is appropriate, neither too slow nor too fast, and has a clear and well-defined plot that is well-developed with fully realized characters. It’s a narrative that offers a unique vision fusing adventure, deception, and redemption that’s set against the backdrop of a political landscape. What impressed me the most was the author's skill when it came to world-building and setting the plot, as every element of the plot has a purpose towards the end of the story. There's enough action and politics that feel very current in terms of the greed, power struggles, and intrigue that characterize both. Thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Five stars from me.
