Review: Florence by Ciye Cho

Florence by Chiye Cho
Format: ebook
Genre: young adult, fantasy romance
Publisher: Studio Amazepop

Summary: Seventeen-year-old Florence Waverley is out of her depth. Literally. Kidnapped and taken below the waves to the mer world of Niemela, she is the ultimate gift for merman Prince Kiren: a human familiar tied to his side. But nothing is what it seems amid the beauty and danger of a dark ocean.

Every Niemelan has a role to play, from the mermaids who weave towers out of kelp to the warriors who fight sea monsters. But in trying to survive, Florence will end up in the middle of a war between the mer and the Darkness. A conflict that will push her between two brothers: Kiren, the charmer inexplicably drawn to both her and the monsters; and Rolan, the loner who has been pushing her away since the day they met. But in order to take a stand--and find out where she belongs--Florence will have to risk it all: her life, her heart... and her very soul. (Summary taken from goodreads.com)

Review: Paradox Equation by Sharon L. Reddy

Paradox Equation by Sharon L. Reddy
Format: ebook
Genre: Science Fiction
Publisher: Sharon L. Reddy

Summary:First published in 1993, this is the masterpiece of the first decade of my work. I won two FanQ's, the international fan quality writing awards, in 1992, for the first two stories I'd ever written. My publisher, Bill Hupe, told me I might be too good to continue writing fan fiction. Five women asked me to write for them, after I received my awards. Since I understood what they meant, I was the one to do it. This work grew out of ideas in my Dr. Who zine, but Gallant is not Dr. Who. It began with the question, "What is my 'perfect' time-traveling heroic archetype." So, in memory of Bill, and for those women and Colin Baker, my muse, who said, "Write," twenty years after its conception, I once again, offer it for your enjoyment.

The Knights Gallant chose to use their time travel technology to defend life in the multiverse. A chain of circumstance that kills a billion people can only be broken as it happens. While fulfilling their pledge, they discover they can only exist if they create themselves. They must solve the Paradox Equation of their existence.

This is a single story organized as a ten novel series. Of course, there are lot of stories in that one. I really disliked not being able to find book three of a six-novel series. I don't sell the books of Paradox Equation separately. I decided that when I realized "story to here" for the fourth book would make it about a third again as long. This "family saga" has six generations in it. The default sample is 10%. That's the first full book and a piece, to decide if you like it. Since I get the same royalty at $9.99 as $20.99, you keep the difference."(Summary taken from goodreads.com)
