The Stark Divide Reviews Part Duex

by
The Stark Divide banner

More reviews rolling in. 🙂 Lilyn at Sci Fi and Scary reviews it and loves it: The Stark Divide was a nice quick read. It was definitely a book that I didn’t want to put down unless I absolutely had to. It plays with some familiar ideas, but does so in such a way that it doesn’t feel ‘been there, done that’. In it, we’ve basically destroyed Earth, but we don’t have FTL travel yet, so we can’t quickly get to another planet. “I didn’t want to put [it] down unless I absolutely had to.” Naturally, that means we have … Read more

“The Stark Divide” Debuts to Great Reviews!

by

First off, a five star review from Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words: Beautifully thought out as well as soaring on the author’s on creativity and extrapolation, don’t be surprised to feel yourself wanting to be a part of this Utopia and then beginning to fear for it when all the ugliness that killed the Earth finds it’s way to Forever. “Easily one of the best books of 2017!” As I said, this is only the first story in a series. I can scarcely wait for the next one to be released. I need to know where the saga … Read more

ADVANCE REVIEW: The Stark Divide – WROTE Podcast

by
The Stark Divide - WROTE

Jayne Lockwood just posted a fricking AMAZING review of my forthcoming epic sci fi book, “The Stark Divide”: This is a potent tale in an era where the problems the characters are coming up against are very familiar. Namely, the refugee crisis, capitalism and politics, power play, and wars that escalate, causing mass devastation. The fate of the dying Earth is very dark indeed. In contrast, it is wonderful to see the birth and development of Forever, borne out of the asteroid Ariadne, where the seed was planted. And whilst this could easily be a bleak tale of a dystopian … Read more

REVIEW: The Great North – 4.5 Stars

by
Blog Header The Great North

Another great review for “The Great North“: Review Blog: Joyfully Jay Reviewer: Veronica I really loved this tasty fantasy. There’s a bit of the supernatural here, between the Old Ones making their wishes known and Dwyn’s visions of life at time of the nuclear holocaust. It was interesting and haunting, the small snatches of our culture superimposed on this desperate landscape. I found myself charmed by the colloquialisms that survived 300 years of “Telephone” in this new oral-history society. Dwyn and Mael are sweet and kind men who forge a new path that meshes with the indigenous cultures of yore, … Read more

REVIEW: The Great North

by

Another great review for “The Great North“: Review Blog: Drops of Ink Reviewer: Anne BarwellOne of the things I love about J Scott Coatsworth’s writing is his world building. The Great North didn’t disappoint… I became invested in the characters very quickly. Both Dwyn and Mael are likeable characters, and I liked how the author developed the supporting cast. It would have been very easy to have some of them follow a stereotypical path, but instead the author took another direction with a lovely curve ball I wasn’t expecting. I love MM fiction with strong women characters. Full Review: https://mmgoodbookblogtours.wordpress.com/2017/06/20/the-great-north-by-j-scott-coatsworth-excerpt-review/ Buy Links … Read more

One more review for Skythane – a great surprise from Anonymouse at Crystal’s Many Reviewers: For my first F3 – Just got a surprise feview for Skythane and it’s fantastic… I happened upon Skythane during one of Dreamspinner Press’s 99 cent book sales.

NEW REVIEWS: The Great North

by

“The Great North” is out, and the reviews are continuing to roll in: Review Blog: MM Good Book Reviews Reviewer: PixieJ. Scott Coatsworth has worked his magic again with the way that his words turn into visions in your mind, his world building is exceptional, dragging you into a scenes that have a simple old world feel to them. I will admit you can easily forget that there was a society with advanced technology that was wiped out until circumstances remind you; it’s quite a powerful bit of world building. Dwyn & Mael’s relationship is kinda insta-love, but to be … Read more

NEW REVIEWS: The Great North

“The Great North” is out, and the reviews are continuing to roll in: Review Blog: A.M. Leibowitz Reviewer: A.M. LeibowitzThe reason I agreed to review this is that the author is outstanding at world-building. Everything is flawless. It’s not hard to understand the context, right from the beginning, and there are no long, dull expository passages. The cues are built right into the narrative. I also love the way fantasy, science fiction, and dystopia are seamlessly integrated. The writing style reminds me of Madeleine L’Engle in that regard. This story in particular has, for me, some of the same emotional similarities … Read more

Five Star Review: Skythane

by
Skythane - Reviewing the Gap

Jeanne over at Reviewing the Gaps gave Skythane a great review: Three POVs, Shakespearian references, and a rich tapestry of a plot that’ll leave you asking for more. Skythane, by J Scott Coatsworth, proved to be a delightful Sci-Fantasy read. The story, albeit a bit short for a novel in the genre, flows naturally, and the main characters, Jameson, Xander, and Quince bring their own backstories into the mix, weaving a rich tale where Jameson and Xander seem as opposite as their worlds of origin. When sparks inevitably fly between them, the tension rises, more so when one of their … Read more

REVIEW: Skythane – Rainbow Gold Reviews

by
Skythane

One more review for Skythane – a great, in-depth one from Marc at Rainbow Gold: I can strongly recommend this book to all who love scifi, fantasy and romance. All three aspects are combined in a wonderful way and while it took me a bit to get into the story, it was worth it to wait until the book had drawn me in. Reading this book felt like traveling to a different planet – a place the author brought to life with beautiful and rich descriptions of a futuristic city with advanced technology and an alien wilderness with strange and … Read more
