REVIEW: Skythane – O.E. Tearmann

by
Skythane

O.E. Tearmann just gave Skythane an AMAZING review. As a reader, you feel a lot like Jameson does stepping off the shuttle: you’re entering a whole new world, but it doesn’t take long to sweep you up in its events. You won’t get answers to every question you ask, but you will get an awful lot of beautiful scenery, some amazing moments and a boots-on-the-ground understanding of this universe that slowly unfolds around you. The layered and delicately nuanced cultures and the interactions between them are a delight to behold. Each culture and the people it shapes have their own … Read more

FIVE STAR REVIEW: Ithani

by

Just got an amazing review for Ithani this week from Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink: “…the world building is fabulous, detailed, and very visual…. I found the ending of this series very satisfying, and loved the sense of everything coming full circle, especially with the revelation of how the planet was named. I’d recommend Ithani to readers who enjoy science fiction with in depth world building, complex characters, and a plot that keeps you reading. I would however, recommend reading the series in order as this isn’t a stand alone. 5 out of 5 stars.” Read the whole thing here. Buy … Read more

Five Star Review For Ithani From Wicked Faerie

by

Just got another amazing Five-Star review for “Ithani” – this one from Chris Sweeso at Wicked Faerie: “I’m a really big fan of this author. His world building is exceptional, and that’s something that can be really hard to find in the LGBTQ genres… This final book in the series does not disappoint in continuing the world building and bringing it to the ultimate conclusion adding in enough new to keep it fresh and interesting till the final page… Ithani itself is a very good, very strong conclusion to an absolutely stellar series by this author.” *dances* Have you read … Read more

AMAZING REVIEW: “The Oberon Cycle” – O.E. Tearmann

by

Just got the most amazing review of the whole “Oberon Cycle” – “Skythane,” “Lander,” and “the new “Ithani”: This is a world full of wonderfully flawed, wonderfully honest characters. Each person is a world in themselves, unique and full of interest. And each is allowed to follow their own arcs and their own hearts, for better and for worse… Quick, playful and clever, the style is catchy. The writer has a real flare for one liners to end a scene. At times they seemed a touch over-used, but never problematic. Ninety percent of the time, they were fun… Ooooh boy … Read more

Amazing review for “ithani”

by

Sometimes a reader just gets you, and totally connects with what you have written. I live for those times. Thanks to Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words for this amazing review: This morning, I got one of the most beautiful reviews I think I ever received, from Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words: After finishing the book, I knew writing this review was going to be frustrating. Why? Because it’s going to be hard to find the words to describe just how incredible Ithani, the final story in The Oberon Cycle truly is. J. Scott Coatsworth left himself … Read more

Four Heart Review for “Slow Thaw”

by

Just got a great four heart review for “Slow Thaw” from Pixie at MM Good Reads! This is a really great story that while set around Christmas time isn’t a Christmas story, it’s a story about finding love in terrible circumstances, and of a reminder of what we humans are doing to this world. The descriptions of the setting is astounding, you can easily picture the ice shelf, of a terrible crack racing towards you as the ice shelf breaks apart, the stunning view of something that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years as it succumbs to … Read more

Great Review for Repetition

by
Repetition

Just got a great review for Repetition from Rainbow Book Reviews: http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/repetition-by-j-scott-coatsworth “While the technology of time travel Davis uses is sort of explained, at least enough to make it plausible if you don’t go too deep, it is not really the focus of this story.”What I found fascinating is the human part of the equation: Davis’s conclusion about what he should do, his client’s reaction, and the consequences when they collide. It’s amazing what can happen in just over twenty pages of a short story, and the ending, while I had hoped it might be different, is perfect just … Read more

Novel Approach Reviewer Chooses “Lander” as One of the Best of 2018

by

Just got word that Lindsey at the Novel Approach chose “Lander” as one of her fave books of 2018 – what an honor: Lander by J. Scott Coatsworth – I love a good sci-fi and high fantasy combination. It’s not an easy win for me, though. The world building has to be just right,with the fantasy and technology intertwined clearly enough for me to keep up with what is happening and not get lost. The plot still must be complex enough to keep me interested. Skythane, the first book in The Oberon Cycle, did just that. I couldn’t wait to catch up with Xander and Jameson … Read more
