Last Motley fantasy ignores spiritual reality for horror

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 15, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 6, 2018

A great cover, a wonderfully entertaining book, but Last Motley fantasy ignores spiritual reality for horror. In years past, I would have loved it. I really enjoyed it now also—but the sparseness of Truth tempers my enthusiasm. That’s probably because I’m … Continue reading →

Divine Space Pirates trilogy romances the genre mercilessly

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 29, 2017 by David BergslandJuly 29, 2017

The Divine Space Pirates trilogy romances the genre without mercy. The science fiction is largely lost in the dominance of the relationships. Nonetheless, it’s a good dystopian scifi tale also. The characters are complex, believable, and compelling. The world-building is very … Continue reading →

Dystopian YA thriller: The Senator’s Youngest Daughter

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 29, 2016 by David BergslandDecember 29, 2016

This book reads like a dystopian YA thriller —though the characters seem to be bit older. It’s a familiar scenario. Here’s the prologue: Eight years ago, at the height of a media crisis centered on a controversial decision by the … Continue reading →

Spiritual fantasy stripped of truth: The Returning by Rachelle Dekker

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 1, 2016 by David BergslandSeptember 1, 2016

This book is #3 of the Seer series, by Dekker’s daughter, Rachelle. I found it to be well written, seriously entertaining, but a spiritual fantasy stripped of truth. I haven’t read The Choosing, book one in the series or The Calling, book … Continue reading →

Blades of Acktar fantasy by Tricia Mingerink

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 5, 2016 by David BergslandJuly 5, 2016

The Blades of Acktar fantasy series is excellent redemptive romance As a fantasy, the long-drawn out hemming and hawing of the romance compromises the story. But then when you are writing a romance, the actual life stories take second place. … Continue reading →

Epic fantasy: A lyrical slave king

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 7, 2016 by David BergslandJune 7, 2016

Epic fantasy with a lyrical slave king. In general, I find this type of fantasy irritating. I think it’s going to be a fun fantasy, once we get there. It’s quite entertaining. But this is definitely the obscure intro to a triple … Continue reading →

A quest with some large twists makes for a fun story. It takes place on Mars, 300 years after the collapse of civilization. The society is roughly feudal and the old technologies are seen as magic. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] Most of … Continue reading →

Christian YA Urban Fantasy: Bloodline, The Chronicle of the Three, Book 1, by Tabitha Caplinger

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 23, 2015 by David BergslandNovember 23, 2015

Enjoyable read, entertaining, but perplexing I’ve really been wondering how to review this book. I had high hopes. It’s written by an Assembly of God youth pastor. It’s about spiritual warfare. So, it should be great, right? [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] The … Continue reading →

Christian YA Action/Adventure review: Daniel and the Sun Sword by Nathan Lumbatis

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 31, 2015 by David BergslandOctober 31, 2015

This tale’s a wild ride with spiritual warfare, monsters, demons, action, adventure, coming of age, orphans, adoption, abuse, and the kitchen sink. This is Raiders of the Lost Ark in Machu Picchu. It’s action/adventure way over the top—great fun. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] … Continue reading →
