Tapestry of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning By Hadley Thorne
This book drew me right in from the start and took me on a magical adventure full of intrigue, suspense, originality, fantasy, wonderful characters and creatures, and so much more. The author wrote with such detail that I became completely invested in the story and characters. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us next. This is a fast paced book that is hard to put down and can be enjoyed by all. I highly recommend this book.

This book is the second book in the Tapestry of Worlds series. I didn’t read the first one and I was able to follow the story pretty well. I’m sure the reading experience would be enhanced if you had some background from the first book, but it’s not necessary. As for the story itself… it’s an interesting mix of various genre elements. Definitely a different read. The plot sounded promising, but I’m not sure all of the elements worked together seamlessly. It felt like it was a little scattered – there was a lot going on. To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure how I feel about the book overall, but it’s a very creative idea. I’m giving it four stars for originality and creativity.

Wow, what a great novel. Suspenseful, mystical, and thrilling. I really enjoyed the interlacing of world’s in such a creative and descriptive way. This was my first introduction to Thorne and I am very excited to continue reading more of their stories. I disliked some of the language used to describe characters as it shows a lack of intersectionality, but it doesn’t take away from the story. Can’t wait to read what comes next in the Tapestry of Worlds!

Tapestry of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning by Hadley Thorne is not the type of book that you read with a distracted mind. There are so many fantastic things going on in this book, it’s a challenge to keep up. It’s a little different than most fantasy stories I’ve read, it’s quite intriguing. I have to say though my very favorite scene in the whole book was the fire ants. I’m looking forward to reading the next book because I’m really curious now, is Ransom going to find Erika intact. I love the way the book ended, such promise for adventure to come.

Tapestry Of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning by Hadley Thorne is a brilliant young adult story. This book can be read as a stand-alone although personally I would recommend reading them in order for a better understanding and enjoyment overall. I found this book to be a well thought out and gripping story. I was pulled into it straight away and soon found myself unable to put the book down. I really felt like I was on the journey with the characters, right there with them experiencing everything they did. The author has created what I think is quite a unique story. Although I have seen book that mesh magic and technology together I haven’t seen any try to do it in this way before. The book is exciting to read and I would certainly recommend it to any fan of the genre.

Sergeant First Class Jason “Ranson” McIlwain is part of the team that has been assembled. His girlfriend, Erika Lily, is working on a Ph.D. in Folklore. Erika has spoken with Ransom about these traditions which he has listened to but didn’t believe in these crazy ideas. In the reality of his new mission, Ransom finds out the truth behind Erika’s stories.
Ransom and his team are all connected genetically to some magical kingdoms from ancient times. Each one with their own unique ability due to their genetics helps them on their mission against the Black Queen.

Author Hadley Thorne’s second installment in the Tapestry of Worlds series: Running and Gunning is a YA dystopian, sci-fi book with fantasy elements. The story from book one (The White Raven Awakens) continues the storyline with descriptive writing cheating vivid scenes and believable dialogue. The protagonist Jack (a.k.a. Ransom), his bestie Cash, his girlfriend Erika (a.k.a. The White Raven), and his team of militarized shifters facing off with an opponent out unleash hell on earth: The Black Queen.
While the story has a classic good-versus-evil theme the dynamic post-apocalyptic world with well-developed characters makes it a page-turner. The addition of Norse mythology ties in with the magic system of the world the characters are fighting to protect the remnants of the world. I do favor how the supporting characters make this dystopia feel alive. Another positive note is that the Prologue and Epilogue are both worth the read (don’t skip them!). The ending does have the feel of a cliffhanger and I definitely want to know what happens next!

Keep in mind – I haven’t read the first book in this series when I happened upon the second one. Thankfully, the book itself is easy to follow, and the universe is easy to jump into. Unfortunately, there are some pretty significant editing errors throughout the book, which I found to be problematic and distracting from the actual reading process and kept me from really feeling like I was involved in the story. However, I really enjoyed the universe the author created and how in-depth the research went in ensuring that there was a unique, interesting story to be told. Overall, it’s definitely a great story, once you make it past some of the flaws in the writing.

Tapestry of Worlds is Part two of Hadley Thorne’s Running and Gunning post-apocalyptic shifter series. It is a supernatural Sci fi fantasy tale that will have you intrigued. The premise of this tale is original with a bit of everything that will draw the readers in, with magic and a Black Queen cyberterrorist, adventure and action, elite paramilitary shifters and corruption. If you didn’t start with Part one The White Raven Awakens you will want to go back to where it all started.

I have not read book 1 of this series, but that did not stop me from reading the second, it is pretty much a standalone. It is filled with science-fiction, supernatural elements and has action and adventure in abundance. A group of shifters led by Jack and Cash, are up against a cyberterrorist called The Black Queen, who is a threat to the tech-world, she is trying to blend technology into a supernatural realm. Jack and Cash are allies with The White Raven. How they all stop the Black Queen forms the crux of the story. It is a very gripping adventure. I do want to dig in more about The White Raven, so I will go and read Book 1 now before I put my hands on Book 3.

This was an excellent read by Ms. Thorne! I enjoyed reading what was happening to Ransom and his team at the same time as Erika’s timeline was playing out. (Admittedly, I had to go back and read book 1 because I read this one first!) Their story is so intertwined that you knew what was happening to the other as you read. Her characters are people that you would definitely want to be friends with and have on your side should the end of the world happen!
I can’t wait to see how everything ties up in the end and how their past lives influence what happens!

Tapestry of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning by Hadley Thorne is an intriguing mix of sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural, and magical realism- with post-apocalyptic themes, paranormal elements, magic, action, and adventure. Even though there are some editing issues within the story- I still think the premise is quite original and interesting- and I think it would make a great movie, television series, or game. Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone, which is what I did. But this story has made me curious to discover what happened in Book One, so I will probably go back to read it as well as the next instalment, Of the Blood: Tapestry of the Worlds, Part Three.

Tapestry of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning by Hadley Thorne was a very intriguing book. Even though I haven’t read Part One: The White Raven Awakens, there was still enough backstory cleverly woven through this book that it could be read as a stand alone. I will still go and check out Part One before moving onto Part Three though. The world is amazing and the mix of paranormal, current times and mythology had me enthralled. The writing was well executed and the characters were relatable. Not a cliffhanger but a nice set up for Part Three.

I enjoyed this young adult adventure story. This is a great story for any young adult who is looking for adventure and they will find it in this book. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help get to know the characters better but can be read as a stand alone. This is a well developed story that took me on an entertaining, fun adventure and fantasy. The characters bring the story to life and make it engaging. I enjoyed how they were not only paranormal but also creatures. This is a fast paced story that pulls you into a magical world of friends and enemies. I am happy I picked up this book and I think you will too. I highly recommend this book.

Wow!!!! I need more stars and exclamation points! I’m not even sure I have adequate words to describe the adventure I found in these pages. The author did an amazing job crafting this story.

The world lies ruined – brought to its knees by pandemic and the bloody destruction wrought by the notorious cyberterrorist known only as the Black Queen. Yet the Black Queen reigns over more than just technology. In addition, she wields supernatural powers with the ability to warp magic and technology together to further her unholy mission: To tear apart the barrier between this world and the next and unleash unthinkable corruption upon the souls of man.
Only one force stands in her way: Jason “Ransom” Mcllwain, his best friend Cash, and his team of elite paramilitary shifters – each able to pierce the veil between this world and the next.

Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) By Courtney Konstantin 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin. It is a story that pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a journey that is emotional and includes danger. It is a book that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. Max is one of the main characters in the story. She is intelligent, strong-willed. And is one that takes chances. What does the future hold for Max and those with her? Read this book to find out. This story is suspenseful and emotional as well. The author does an amazing job of making the story and the characters come alive. There are additional characters that are interesting to read about. I felt like I connected to Max and those who are with her. There are also those whose motives are not good. Don’t miss out on a story that is exciting, intriguing, and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

Whoop got to love me a little bit of sci-fi and time travel, honestly, they are right up my alley, my jam on toast, cannot tell you the amount of book I have in this genre littering my shelves. As you can probably guess I was dead excited to get into reading this and as tickled pink when I did because it is all I hope for and more. Ullman has truly worked magic here, making something that has been done a considerable amount feel new and fresh. I literally couldn’t put this town, every time I reached the end of a chapter, I had this desperation to find out what happened next. I’ll admit it caused a lot of injuries as I walked into various bits of furniture, trying to read and pretend to be doing something slightly resembling housework. Tommy and his partner Win are on to a winner (couldn’t resist) in the fact that they have worked out how to solve the pesky little issue of mortality. They’ve hit the motherload and are quids in for a nice cushty future, full of fame and boatloads of money. However, Tommy receives a visit from Havall 16, who happens to be from the future that Tommy and Win’s invention has created and it’s not super great. She wants him to stop what he’s doing, ending all their research and production before it can have a chance to take off and create a world where so many people live in poverty. This story deals with some interesting, thought-provoking topics, such as our mortality, the fact that something has to end, is what makes it so precious and wonderful and that immortality sounds great when you have a cushty life to live forever. This is a really awesome write that I highly recommend to anyone, you won’t be disappointed.

I want to start this off by saying i don’t usually read Sci-Fi, But this took me on a journey, and i was hooked from the very start of this book. The blurb and cover art caught my attention, and suffice to say, the author sure knew how to keep it. This book is definitely one of my new favorites, Having deeply reminded me of some of my favorite series when i was younger. I absolutely loved this book, this authors attention to detail, the character development, all of it from start to beginning! I recommend this book wholeheartedly, and can’t want to get my hands on more from this author!

Havall 16 by A.J. Ullman is an adventurous dystopia book. This is my first book by this author but I don’t believe it will be my last. The story tells of a society where some have everything they could want or need while others have close to nothing. What happens when someone from this society travels back to try to change the mind of the man who ends up creating this existence. The story is well written and very descriptive. I could envision everything that was happening. I also enjoyed this different take on how a society could change so drastically. The messages are very timely and well thought out. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Havall 16 by A.J. Ullman was a really good read! I was very pleasantly surprised with this book. Going in, I wasn’t sure I would like it all that much. I enjoy sci-fi books tons certain degree, but they are nowhere near my favorite genre. This book completely grabbed me and held me. This storyline and plot was completely fascinating. The whole novel felt very well researched and not even far fetched as far as sci-fi ideas go. I felt like the events that conspired could definitely happen in the future. The character were great and well likeable as well. This novel also had some surprising twists that I very much enjoyed. The only complaint I have is that there’s no sequel! I want another installment!

I was pleasantly surprised with this novel. The teasers and blurb peaked my attention, even though this is not my normal go to for a genre. I really enjoyed such a unique storyline that Ullman has created. It reminded me of all the sci-fi movies that I have really enjoyed, and it read like a movie too. In the book we find a world with social classes that are on the outside pretty self explainable but are really more in depth and of course has ramifications that will affect everyone. We have the Havalls, and the Havenots. Havall 16 had decided to go back in time and work to stop things that made this social class possible. The adventure has just about everything you could want in a sci-fi read and will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read and cheer Havall 16 on. I would be interested to see if we get any other novels with the same story idea as this one, I am sure it will be great.

This epic Sci-fi read is eerily possible. Havall 16 is a fast paced book that keeps you wanting more until the end! Racing against time with Tommy and the others will keep you turning the pages until late into the night. What would you be willing to do to prevent something terrible in the future? You truly do not know until faced with that decision. I cannot wait to read more from A.J. Ullman. This is an absolute must read!

This is a great Sci-Fi adventure that holds attention from start to finish. A. J. Ullman is not a new author to me. I always grab his books because I have not been disappointed yet. The characters are fully developed. They are multiple layers to each character. You can see where they stand and keep you entertained. Ullman’s characters keep your attention and I could not put it down until I finished the book. The plot line keeps you planted in your seat because of the action and mystery that is going on. Tommy the main character has a dilemma. He was ready to launch his business to the public. Everything was put on hold because he received a message from the future. Will Tommy listen to the message or will he continue on his path? I highly recommend this book to find out what Tommy is going to do.

I enjoyed this sci-fi, time travel story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a well rounded story that pulled me in from the beginning. The characters are unique and creative. They are connectable and they bring the story to life. They take you on a journey of adventure that is fun to read and entertaining. Tommy is getting ready to launch his business to the public. What happens when he gets a message from the future? Can the future change his mind? There is a lot that happens in this book that I highly recommend reading it and not miss out.

Without a doubt, my favorite part of Havall 16 is A.J. Ullman’s writing. His characters, storyline and unique style really draw you in. Reading his work felt so fluid I sometimes felt like I was tuning in to one of my favorite T.V. shows instead of picking up a book. The dystopian sci-fi and social commentary of Havall 16’s themes were also an added bonus.

This book far exceeded my expectations. I don’t usually read this genre as I’ve found in the past I haven’t been as invested in the plot as other genres I really enjoy, but this one may have just converted my interests. Right from reading the synopsis I was hooked with the idea of this dystopian future where the world had been divided and chaos caused. The plot was both intriguing and exciting and I knew I had to continue reading. The characters are well explored and I feel we really get a sense of who everyone in Tommy’s life is and how they matter in the story. I particularly enjoyed Havall 16’s character, she reminded me a lot of Katniss (Hunger Games) and Tris (Divergent Series) and I loved that as I really enjoyed both of those characters in their respective books. Havall 16 was cool, courageous and captivating throughout the entire story and I feel her and Tommy worked really well together which made their story an absolute joy to read.
There were several moments which I was not expecting, certain people who I weren’t expecting certain things from and was shocked to read. This made for a “can’t put it down” reading experience. Ullman’s writing style was very easy to read and flowed nicely. There is enough description in the writing that you can paint a detailed image in your head, but not too much that it becomes convoluted; which I really enjoyed. The whole book is riddled with “on the edge of your seat moments” and really kept my interest from start to finish.
There are a couple of twists towards the end of this book which I LOVED and definitely did not see coming. No spoilers, you’ll have to work those out on your own. But they were very well thought out and if anything I would have like to know slightly more about them. I would like the details of Tara and the queries surrounding her to be explored more, there was mention of her not being trustworthy but this was in passing and was not explored again after this and it became unclear as to why Havall 16 might feel that way. I would also have liked to know more about the future world that Havall 16 describes but this is the only criticism I have of this book.
This was a credit to its genre and I cannot wait to read more like this and more by A.J Ullman. Very well done.
