The Fith Wave by Rick Yancy, reviews at The
Book Smugglers, The Midnight
Garden, The
Oaken Bookcase, The
Speculative Scotsman & Warpcore SF
After
the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And
after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule
applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of
highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the
countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors.
To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.
Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing
her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and
despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or
to get up.
The
Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson,
reviews at Fantasy
Book Critic & Fantasy
Literature
More
than anything, Joel wants to be a Rithmatist. Chosen by the Master in a
mysterious inception ceremony, Rithmatists have the power to infuse life into
two-dimensional figures known as Chalklings. Rithmatists are humanity’s only
defense against the Wild Chalklings — merciless creatures that leave mangled
corpses in their wake. Having nearly overrun the territory of Nebrask, the Wild
Chalklings now threaten all of the American Isles.
As the son of a lowly chalkmaker at Armedius Academy, Joel can
only watch as Rithmatist students study the magical art that he would do
anything to practice. Then students start disappearing — kidnapped from their
rooms at night, leaving trails of blood. Assigned to help the professor who is
investigating the crimes, Joel and his friend Melody find themselves on the
trail of an unexpected discovery — one that will change Rithmatics — and their
world — forever.
