Book Review: Prison of Hope by Steve McHugh

January 15, 2024 by Joe Gray in Book Review, Fantasy, Fiction

All in all, this was a very fun book to read, and while it has a lot of moving parts and I didn’t keep up with everything the characters made it enjoyable and easy to keep going. As always, the books in this series have very climactic and satisfying endings. Nate is a very likable character with his humor, charm, and noble morality. His friends are all very likable as well and it is fun to route for the good guys in these stories. I recommend this book to those who enjoyed the previous series especially if you want to learn more about Nate and the world he belongs to.

Book Review: Born of Hatred by Steve McHugh

May 29, 2023 by Joe Gray in Book Review

Steve McHugh's writing is down-to-earth and accessible in a way that makes for a smooth and enjoyable reading experience. The world he has created is fun and dynamic. I recommend this book on its own but especially as a continuation of the first book, Crimes Against Magic, and I'm excited to continue the series further. If you liked Crimes Against Magic or like supernatural fantasy action you will enjoy Born of Hatred.
