David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 17, 2016 by David BergslandSeptember 17, 2016

This first book of the Fire Prophets series is epic high fantasy, though I would tend to call it lyric and even poetic at times. As you might know, I normally don’t like this stuff, but after a slightly slow … Continue reading →

Christian Fantasy Review: Emissary and Merchant of Alyss by Thomas Locke

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 2, 2016 by David BergslandFebruary 2, 2016

Christian only in that Davis Bunn is a Christian author, these books are supposedly a clean read fantasy. I can see why he chose a pseudonym. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] Technically I guess this is true. Bunn is a superior writer, entertaining, … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 22, 2015 by David BergslandFebruary 17, 2015

This is the second book in a planned five-book series called The Ilyon Chronicles. I really dislike waiting for series to be complete. But… It’s as good as I hoped! Here’s the blurb from the Amazon page: “Following the harrowing events that brought them … Continue reading →

Review: Valley of Decision by Shannon McDermott 4 stars

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 7, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015
