And Another Five Star Review for River City from Scattered Thoughts

Rveiwq - Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words - River City

Just got another fantastic review for “The River City Chronicles” – Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words absolutely fricking loved it: All the characters here are so beautifully created, so multidimensional that they are all on equal footing.  Each and every one is so important to the story and will gain equal measure in your heart.  It’s a large cast but it simply doesn’t matter.  You invest yourself completely in their lives and their stories.  You hurt with them, you laugh with them…the entire spectrum of emotion will be trotted out here between the kids thrown out of their … Read more

Five Stars for River City from Drops of Ink

Drops of Ink - River City Review

Just got another fantastic review for “The River City Chronicles” – five stars from Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink: I was drawn into the story immediately, and wanted to know more about the overarching story, the characters, and how they would interact. The chapters are a great size, perfect for diving in and out of the story although, as I approached the latter part of the book, I didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to know how everyone’s stories would end. The story is a lovely, easy, feel-good read with plenty of ‘heart,’ and I very … Read more

Amazing Review for “The River City Chronicles”

Wicked Faerie - River City

Just got a fantastic review from Chris at Wicked Faerie for my “other” book this week – “The River City Chronicles”: “I thoroughly enjoyed The River City Chronicles. I liked the entire ensemble cast and how their stories connected in multiple places. The storytelling throughout this book is a particular strength of this author as he constantly provides a full, rich storyline no matter where the character lies within the story… highly recommend this, especially now that it’s summer. This is a great sit by the pool and get sucked into the story type of book. So go and grab … Read more

New Amazing Review for “Lander”

Lander Cover

I just got the most fricking amazing review for “Lander” from Amy Leibowitz Mitchell:   “All in all, this was a fantastic read. I’m definitely going to pick up the first book before the third one is out so I can have everything sorted about the plot. I can’t wait to see where this goes next time. For gender equality, excellent world-building, pacing, and plot, and a fantastic sequel that can be read on its own, this gets 10/10 fountain pens.”   OMG. 🙂   http://amleibowitz.com/2018/02/21/review-lander-by-j-scott-coatsworth/   Have you gotten your copy yet?

REVIEW: Skythane

Skythane

Just got a fantastic review of Skythane from Jayne at WROTE Podcast: Having read The Stark Divide, I was already confident in this author’s world-building technique and ability to tell a rip-roaring tale. Skythane is the story of Xander and Jameson, ostensibly on a mission to find supplies of pith (a mind-altering drug) but they find themselves at the centre of a race to save the planet from destruction… I loved the way the way every creature, every fruit, plant, the technology, the weather,  food cooking methods, the weaponry, the transport, the cities, religious structure, every little thing has been … Read more

Great Review for “The Stark Divide”

Ryane Chatman Review - The Stark Divide

Just got a fabulous review for “The Stark Divide” from Ryane Chatman:   Mr. Coatsworth continues to delight me with each book he writes. I am whisked off to reaches unknown, or reminded of places I’d like to see. He spins tales of longing, despair, faith (not always in the religious sense), and hope. Hope being the key feature of all of his stories. Hope keeps you young. Faith keeps you believing in hope. These are lessons we forget or we become too cynical to carry….   See the full review here: https://www.thornsandink.com/single-post/2018/02/01/The-Stark-Divide-Liminal-Sky-Book-One Get it now: DSP Publications (paperback): https://www.dsppublications.com/books/the-stark-divide-by-j-scott-coatsworth-416-b DSP … Read more

The Stark Divide - Xtreme Delusins

Just got a fantastic review for “The Stark Divide” from Xtreme Delusions. “I was kept on the figurative edge of my seat much of the time while reading this and had to force myself to put it down at 5 a.m. at one point so that I could be at least partially functional when meeting with friends later that day.” Authors love this sort of praise. 😛 http://www.xtreme-delusions.com/2018/01/13/review-the-stark-divide-by-j-scott-coatsworth/ Get it now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G2NJP6/

REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Sci Fi Pulse

The Stark Divide - SciFi Pulse

What an awesome review for The Stark Divide from Patrick at Sci Fi Pulse: A science fiction novel with a classic premise that delivers drama, action, technology, and heart. I haven’t felt this way after reading a sci-fi book since reading an Asimov or Heinlein novel. Coatsworth is to be congratulated for capturing the spirit of those writers and creating a new tale that will make readers look to the starts. Overall grade: A OMG, I am literally speechless to be mentioned in the same breath as Asimov and Heinlein. 😀 Read the full review here:http://www.scifipulse.net/in-review-the-stark-divide/ And order the book … Read more

NEW FIVE STAR REVIEW: The Stark Divide

Hearts on Fire - The Stark Divide review

Diane at Hearts on Fire gave The Stark Divide a five star rating: I fear that no matter how I write this review, I will not do this book justice, and part of me just wants to say wow, you should read this book! If you have read any of J. Scott Coatsworth’s work, you know he is a science fiction and fantasy writer and I swear his work just keeps on getting better with each book he writes!… “Wow, you should read this book… I would easily put this on my favorites of 2017 list!” That said, I highly recommend … Read more
