Nice Review of Fires of Nuala over at Amazing Stories Magazine Online

A thoughtful review of Fires of Nuala has appeared over at Amazing Stories Magazine online.

Keith West liked it!

"This is a book that should appeal to both male and female readers. There’s action, intrigue, and politics to appeal to fans of sf thrillers, while the relationship between Darame and Sheel will be a plus to those who like their fiction with a dash of romance. While men typically prefer the former and women the latter, the truth is that most normal, healthy adults have aspects of both in their personalities albeit to different degrees. The amazing thing is that Kimbriel manages to balance both so that the joining of the two, action and romance, is nearly seamless. Many have tried to pull this sort of book off in the past, but few have succeeded. Kimbriel makes it look easy. She hasn’t written a book for men or a book for women. She’s written a book for mature, intelligent adults who like thoughtful science fiction with action, intrigue, and fully realized characters the reader wants to spend time with."

If you haven't checked out Amazing Stories Magazine online yet, this is a great excuse to stop by and check it out!

Do you want to be known as someone reviewing new and back list ebooks for SF and fantasy (using a particular contact address?) I would let the others at Book View Cafe know (we do keep a file of sites reviewing new and reprints) but Amazing Stories doesn't have a specific review contact email, apparently. Would you like an internal BVC post about it, or would you rather seek out what you want to review?
