How to build a story from a SF novum You may have noticed during the past few weeks the written version of this blog has posted ideas for science fiction stories based on novums – inventions or hypothetical concepts that SF write…

Your Protagonist Must Solve the Story’s Problem Among the big mistakes novice writers make is they don’t allow their protagonist to solve the story’s central problem.A story always is structured around the main character overcoming some con…

This book was, for me, a hidden gem, and after reading it I went ahead and got the rest of the series. I will try to explain what I liked without too many spoilers. First, the characters are relatable, imperfect, and complex. What appeared initially to be a simple good v. bad story becomes a much more complicated plot; there are certainly convincing villains you will love to hate, but there are also characters that are much more grey than they appear at first blush, and the main characters - Geoff, Lou, etc' - are strong people with whole personality. Second, there is a fascinating alternative historical aspect, exposed slowly. It's internally credible (it has werewolves and vampires, so "realistic" might be the wrong term) and adds a layer. Third, the story is full of twists, and likely will not end where you expect, without being unconvincing. Fourth, the world building is credible and consistent. And it has strong characters male and female. Fifth, it resolves the issues, but leaves more to come. I don't like book that stop completely midway, and this one does not do that. All together, it's a really good book, I am looking forward to the next ones. and am going to reread this.

Holy wow you guys... I don't know how I missed this AMAZING review for "Sins of the Forefathers!" It really made my day!
