Smashwords book reviews by Rayne Hall
- Raingun (Book #1, The Talan Revolt)
on Sep. 21, 2011
This is an exciting, fast-paced novel set in a historical fantasy world with a lot of magic and fighting. I like how the hero is conflicted in his desires and loyalties, and how his inner conflict plays out in action. A small thing I found particularly helpful is that many chapters are prefaced with the place, the year and the hero's age (e.g. "San Bitante, Prosper, 1477 - Ricky Rivoire is four years old"). Normally, when novels jump backwards and forwards in time and place, I get easily confused.These little additions prevented confusion and I was able to immerse myself immediately into each chapter.
- Violence: A Writer's Guide
on April 11, 2012
This book is a great resource for writers, providing insights and practical information. It helps violence-inexperienced authors to plot plausible scenes and avoid blunders. To my delight, I found the book well-written, too. Rory Miller is the rare combination of expert and storyteller. He knows his subject, and he shares his knowledge in a captivating style. It's the perfect complement to my own book, "Writing Fight Scenes". Rory shows you what fighting is really like - and I show you how to write about it.
