Skythane Audiobook Review – Xtreme Delusions

by

Just got a great review for the Skythane audiobook from Xtreme Delusions: Skythane is not my normal type of book to read but a couple of things made me want to listen to and review it. First off, I’ve owned a copy of this book since 2018 when the author gave me a copy to review when I have time (oops). Second, I’ve enjoyed other audiobooks performed by Kevin Earlywine. I’m kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to enjoy this story. It grabbed me from the beginning and held my attention throughout. I don’t think I can do a … Read more

4.5 STAR REVIEW: Skythane

by
Bayou Book Junkie - Skythane

Just got a great new 4.5 Star review of Skythane from Bayou Book Junkie: “Coatsworth did a fantastic job with that in this novel! He created a world that felt relatable and added just enough detail and description to make me feel as if I could see it all in my head… the plot was so interesting and action-packed, with very likable, lovable even, main characters that I was definitely rooting for… The writing was stellar… I’m very intrigued by what else Mr. Coatsworth has up on his sleeve in this ‘verse, seeing as the ending gives me hope that … Read more

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

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

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

REVIEW: Skythane

by
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

REVIEW: Skythane – Rainbow Gold Reviews

by
Skythane

One more review for Skythane – a great, in-depth one from Marc at Rainbow Gold: I can strongly recommend this book to all who love scifi, fantasy and romance. All three aspects are combined in a wonderful way and while it took me a bit to get into the story, it was worth it to wait until the book had drawn me in. Reading this book felt like traveling to a different planet – a place the author brought to life with beautiful and rich descriptions of a futuristic city with advanced technology and an alien wilderness with strange and … Read more

Divine Magazine Loves Skythane

by
Skythane

This just in… and wow. *cries a little* Debbie Attenborough at Divine Magazine just posted a great five star review of Skythane: “The story flows like a river, from its source, getting faster and faster, deeper and wider until…. well, until it reaches the sea! There is no massive info dump that you sometimes get in this sort of story, it comes in drips, so you can process each drip before you get the next one. Or in my case, many times through this book, you can pull a face at the kindle and ” say what now???” when you … Read more
