Reviews: The Prime Insurgency Books 2-7 (out of 11)

Let us start with the most recent of the books in the series that I have finished reading. This review has not gone to Amazon yet as I have been able to obtain an Advance Review copy of books 6 through 11. I am rather happy for this opportunity to read ahead. I really do not like waiting when it is so easy to get so caught up in other things as to forget a series when I am ready for it. I have written to this author and found out that he intends to do two boxed sets for this series, but as of this morning he did not have a set release date for them.

Book Review
Title: The Seventh Circle (#7 in The Prime Insurgency)
Author: J. D. Stonebridge
Where to get: I will place the link here when I see the book has gone to public.

This book took the series on a huge turn in my opinion. The one person that I did not really expect to become a Prime ended up a Prime, and we get close to seeing the transfer. I was glad to see the dynamic duo end up getting split up. Even though I like them greatly as a team it is about time for them to have some solo time. I look forward to seeing how that fares for them in the next book. I also really like how Lance is forced to make some tough calls.

As usual the writing style is very fast. There were a few places where paragraphs dropped down strangely, but I am unsure if that was intentional or if it was a result of the compilation that I was gifted.


Book Review
Title: Into the Hexagon
Author: J. D. Stonebridge
Page count: 63 pages
Where to get: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ERRNJY0
Author’s page: https://www.amazon.com/J.D.-Stonebridge/e/B00OPZ1YQU

When this series was pointed out to me I did not expect how addicting it was to become. With this particular episode the plot of the series is advanced even further. We uncover a corporation conducting illegal and questionable experiments to go along with the Primes. The boys do not find Lauren, but rather she finds them. We meet three new Primes. The usual destruction occurs. Poor Tony and Lance seem to encounter violent explosions wherever they go. So much for being out of the military and any ideas of a peaceful life that Lance might have had. I quite sympathize with his momentary desire to go back to the desert! It would all be so much to take and I think that by this time the progressive forward movement they have to make simply to stay alive is what is preventing mental breakdowns. If you want action, this is a good place to get it. As usual detail is detailed, but fleeting. You do not have a great opportunity to luxuriate or bask. You get to rest now and then, but those are brief. As usual, this is a good read if you are looking for something light but engaging, and I do not mean light as in not requiring thought.

If you have not been watching the Youtube channel, here are the previous reviews.

Ame's Bookshelf:The One In Light (The Prime Insurgency Bk 1) Review

Memorial Posting: Faith Lindgren-Brown, editor

It is with sorrow that I must announce the passing of FAITH CARLIN-MARIE LINDGREN (AKA LINDGREN-BROWN, editing surname) at 10:20 this morning. Faith was engaged in a very long battle with Diabetes. She was editor for the second edition of Dragon Shaman: Taming the BlowingWind, Dragon Shaman: The Smoky Mirror, and Selkies' Skins: Castle and Well. She was to be editor for Dragon Shaman's third book and Selkies' Skins: Temple and Skinquest although life had slowed the production of the manuscripts and then her eyesight began to deteriorate.

She will be sorely missed, and will always remain now an editor in memoriam with us. She is at least with Jan (Marantha D. Jennelle) now and they finally get to meet in the afterlife. I expect that now I'll have two more disembodied friends whispering in my ears and poking me while I work.

I will always remember her as the thin blonde that the kids and I used to visit or go visit often when we lived in Weed, telling wild stories about her life's adventures and being eager to read over my progress and be the second set of eyes to make sure things were correct and going across as intended in my writing.

I do not know yet when any services will be. I will see about having the main website information on Faith updated at some point when I can without feeling drained.

Magical Minstrelsy Print version is approaching

Soon I will be ordering the proof of the print copy of "Magical Minstrelsy: volume one" which contains the first year of works that were produced for my Patreon project. If you are interested in seeing what I personally am up to when news on the publishing blog is slow then please feel free to come over and visit. Mine gives access to exclusives and early peeks at what from my works goes public and is set to a monthly pledge system to see the exclusives and early peeks. It also regularly has public postings as well.

If any other of our authors create one I will happily post links. Soon I'll be going over things to verify that I do have up to date ways to find their public author contact areas.

September - Earth Wind

I thought that some people might be interested to see what one of the young ones that were published in The Dragon Beads Anthology has been up to since that time. I think Ollie's doing quite well, don't you? Way to go young man, it's great to see how you've grown and your growth in music as well.
