RaveDen of GeekThe worldbuilding is simple enough to grasp right away without having to slog through paragraphs of exposition. In fact, the whole book is written in an accessible fashion—the chapters are easy page turners, and talking scenes can often be joined by intense passages of brutal action. Add to that the likeable characters and world-ending odds—you’ve got a recipe for a highly enjoyable fantasy ride. Kel Kade does a masterful job of subverting our expectations of how a Hero’s Journey should play out—while simultaneously fulfilling the key components of the journey in her storytelling ... Fate of the Fallen is a journey worth stepping into, an epic story that doesn’t mind speaking to its reader in a casual manner ... One might not expect to be inspired by a fantasy story, but here it is—complete with an idiot horse, a couple of thieving sidekicks, and a witch with a ‘tude.

PositiveDen of Geek!In Zero Sum Game, we have a selection of main characters who are not easily defined as \'good\' or \'bad.\' In fact, that’s why they are so interesting. Cas makes decisions based on self preservation and getting out of bad situations that often end in collateral damage. She’s also a fun character to follow. Her quips, mostly internal, are humorous ... I had my doubts when I started, but after reading through Cas’s high-energy, pulse-pounding adventures, I became a believer. Zero Sum Game delivers a smart, calculated action thriller that keeps the reader guessing.
