- Tolund's Waking
on May 15, 2010
Tolund's Waking is a remarkable debut for Thomas Gramza. I found it clever, imaginative, and original for the fantasy genre. The action sequences build with video-game pace and intensity. Also a pleasant surprise were a number of events and remarks that are deeper and more profound than the run of the mill thriller. I'm looking forward to more of the same.
- Dance on Fire
on June 10, 2010
I love what James Garcia, Jr has done with Dance on Fire. I agree with the previous reviewers that the characters are drawn with depth and substance. Garcia has a gift for dialogue that “shows” more than “tells” the reader about the characters. I was also struck by the imaginative storyline which builds tension to the dramatic, bittersweet climax. Garcia mixes a horror thriller with deep suggestions about the nature of grace and providence and leaves you thinking about these concepts long after the book is finished. Although the violence and language make this a PG-13 read, the depth of the issues addressed make it interesting and insightful for who like to mine for theological significance in a novel. Definitely looking forward to the sequel.
