The Two Doctors Review

Time Travel. Trolley Problems. What more needs to be said?

I still stand by my conclusion from when I finished Book 1: if you love the universe of Dragon Age, you will find a home with the Hollow Fate series. It’s epic fantasy with a compelling magic system, incredible worldbuilding, and a world-ending threat that feels tangible, unique, and complicated in its motivations.

You can't help but hear his words—especially with President Obama narrating it himself—and believe he tried his best, even if he made mistakes.

In Talented: A Dystopian Superhero Origin Story, SE MacCready lays the foundation for a world filled with superpowered heroes, villains, and everything in between.

The Hands We’re Given: a brilliantly creative future cyberpunk tale with a romantic twist.

Considering diving into Chernow’s biographies of Hamilton or Washington? Do it. Learn the real story behind the complicated characters of the famous broadway musical.

Promise of Blood: A flintlock fantasy with allusions to the French Revolution, it’s a story worth reading if just for Mihali. Yet there are dozens of other wonderful characters and plots-within-plots, making it one of the most intriguing books I’ve read in recent years.

The Empire's Legacy series is a unique blend of fantasy and historical fiction which should attract readers of both genres. I loved this whole series.

If you loved Pokemon as a kid, then you’ll love this book!

If you’re looking for a new fantasy epic inspired by the styles of the greats, Sterling’s Sons of Mercy will satiate your appetite.

It’s a sweeping story—and the book isn’t short, at 160,000 words. Yet with three POVs (Ruben, Marius, and Ella), it’s truly three stories in one. And the narratives weave in and out of each other’s story with skill, even as the characters are taken far away from one another. Plenty of twists will take you down a path of emotions you will not expect.

In Aerovoyant, P. L Tavormina has crafted a brilliantly prescient—and retrospective—narrative, exploring climate change on an earth analog millennia in the future. Humankind has evolved in some ways—with creative genetic modifications—but as a society, it faces many of the same problems faced by our present industrialized world.

It all boils down to money.

And power.

When you pick up a book attempting something profoundly different from everything within its genre, you’re bound to struggle. To question. To disagree. Too Like the Lightning reads like an ancient text precisely because the author intended it so.

Ten Sigma: A Military Science Fiction Novel by A. W. Wang, tells an intriguing story based on a simple premise at its core. It asks: “What if the military could train supersoldiers by putting human minds through a virtual gauntlet of thousands of battles inside a super-computer?”

Like many SciFi and Fantasy authors, I grew up playing RPG video games. Skyrim, Mass Effect, Boulders Gate, KOTOR, you name it, I’ve probably played it.

So when I heard about the growing LitRPG genre, I was intrigued! Stories set inside RPG-like worlds? Wow!

We now have the final word in the story of Skywalker: Anyone can be a hero, regardless of bloodline, species, origin, homeworld, class, or gender. Chosen Ones, as much as they might exist, are not the solution to our problems. The Force moves beyond any single individual, and when it comes down to it, your choice to fight for your chosen family and what you believe in matters more than ANYTHING else.
