Christian urban fantasy review: Whispers of a Faded Dreamer by Celesta Thiessen

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 30, 2015 by David BergslandMay 30, 2015

Actually, the story is closer to science fiction than it is to fantasy. But it’s an excellent story. Celesta’s books are always deceptively simple and direct. This book should be one of my worst fears: a lyrical, allegorical fantasy. But … Continue reading →

Christian Fantasy book review: Aerisia, Land Beyond the Sunset by Sarah Ashwood

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 29, 2015 by David BergslandJune 28, 2015

Ok, I don’t like clean reads or fantasies which devolve into a man and a woman struggling with thwarted desire. This book is both. Because it’s just a clean read, I have to give it a one-star rating in this … Continue reading →

Christian Thriller Book Reviews: The Grace Painter & The Treasure Box by Marc Romang

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 13, 2015 by David BergslandMarch 13, 2015

 I’m reviewing these together because I don’t normal read cop thrillers, Christian or not. I read them because I loved the first two books of Marc’s spiritual warfare Battle series:  Battle Scream & Battle Storm. I’m glad I did. These two books … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction at its best: Ice Wind by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 20, 2015 by David BergslandFebruary 20, 2015

I’m at a loss for words. My only quibble is that it’s yet another of those #%$&*( )@#$ novellas. I have literally run out of superlatives for Guy’s books. Another genre busting book This is Christian, action/adventure, science fiction, western, … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy romance review: Dauntless by Dina Sleiman

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 29, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 29, 2015

Early quibbles: I signed up to review this book because it looked like a fantasy or at least a “Robin Hood” type of story. It is a Robin Hood-type of story, but mainly it’s a romance. I was afraid of … Continue reading →

Christian Book Review: Afton of Margate Castle by Angela Hunt

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 15, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

The description led me to believe this was a fantasy. I guess I didn’t read it closely enough. I was seduced by memories of excellent action/adventure thrillers I read decades ago by Hunt’s hand. It has many elements of a … Continue reading →

Review: A Priestess of Mars by M.E. Brines

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 2, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015
