REVIEW: Skythane

by
Skythane

Just got a fantastic review of Skythane from Jayne at WROTE Podcast: Having read The Stark Divide, I was already confident in this author’s world-building technique and ability to tell a rip-roaring tale. Skythane is the story of Xander and Jameson, ostensibly on a mission to find supplies of pith (a mind-altering drug) but they find themselves at the centre of a race to save the planet from destruction… I loved the way the way every creature, every fruit, plant, the technology, the weather,  food cooking methods, the weaponry, the transport, the cities, religious structure, every little thing has been … Read more

Great Review for “The Stark Divide”

by
Ryane Chatman Review - The Stark Divide

Just got a fabulous review for “The Stark Divide” from Ryane Chatman:   Mr. Coatsworth continues to delight me with each book he writes. I am whisked off to reaches unknown, or reminded of places I’d like to see. He spins tales of longing, despair, faith (not always in the religious sense), and hope. Hope being the key feature of all of his stories. Hope keeps you young. Faith keeps you believing in hope. These are lessons we forget or we become too cynical to carry….   See the full review here: https://www.thornsandink.com/single-post/2018/02/01/The-Stark-Divide-Liminal-Sky-Book-One Get it now: DSP Publications (paperback): https://www.dsppublications.com/books/the-stark-divide-by-j-scott-coatsworth-416-b DSP … Read more

REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Five Stars

by
The Stark Divide - Xtreme Delusins

Just got a fantastic review for “The Stark Divide” from Xtreme Delusions. “I was kept on the figurative edge of my seat much of the time while reading this and had to force myself to put it down at 5 a.m. at one point so that I could be at least partially functional when meeting with friends later that day.” Authors love this sort of praise. 😛 http://www.xtreme-delusions.com/2018/01/13/review-the-stark-divide-by-j-scott-coatsworth/ Get it now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074G2NJP6/

REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Sci Fi Pulse

by
The Stark Divide - SciFi Pulse

What an awesome review for The Stark Divide from Patrick at Sci Fi Pulse: A science fiction novel with a classic premise that delivers drama, action, technology, and heart. I haven’t felt this way after reading a sci-fi book since reading an Asimov or Heinlein novel. Coatsworth is to be congratulated for capturing the spirit of those writers and creating a new tale that will make readers look to the starts. Overall grade: A OMG, I am literally speechless to be mentioned in the same breath as Asimov and Heinlein. 😀 Read the full review here:http://www.scifipulse.net/in-review-the-stark-divide/ And order the book … Read more

NEW FIVE STAR REVIEW: The Stark Divide

by
Hearts on Fire - The Stark Divide review

Diane at Hearts on Fire gave The Stark Divide a five star rating: I fear that no matter how I write this review, I will not do this book justice, and part of me just wants to say wow, you should read this book! If you have read any of J. Scott Coatsworth’s work, you know he is a science fiction and fantasy writer and I swear his work just keeps on getting better with each book he writes!… “Wow, you should read this book… I would easily put this on my favorites of 2017 list!” That said, I highly recommend … Read more

Another Amazing Review for “The Stark Divide”

by
The Stark Divide review - A.M. Leibowitz

A.M. Leibowitz just gave me a fantastic review for “The Stark Divide”. I am over the moon! I’ve read a number of books by the author, and I’ve enjoyed them. This one blows them all away. It is a phenomenal piece of writing that had my undivided attention from the first page. “a phenomenal piece of writing that had my undivided attention from the first page.” There is so much in here that hits all my personal hot spots: World-building that slowly unfolds without a ton of expository text; flawed but likable characters; both subtle and overt references to favorite … 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
