Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA In fiction, Jessie Mihalik's second book in the "Consortium Rebellion" trilogy, Aurora Blazing, is one of this week's starred selections. "Strong female characters, a slow-burn romance, and interplanetary adventures will draw in both sf and romance readers." Also in fiction, The Killing Light, by Myke Cole, is another starred title. "This final volume of the 'Sacred Throne' trilogy (after Queen of Crows) will wreck your emotions in the worst and best ways. Writing intelligent, intense prose, Cole delivers vivid worldbuilding in a story brimming with religious and military fervor and ruthless action, offering a stunning conclusion to Heloise’s journey." And Evie Dunmore's debut romance, Bringing Down the Duke, is another starred fiction title. "Dunmore’s debut is chock-full of verve, history, and passion, introducing a heroine who knows her worth and is determined not to be held back by her past. This series opener provides many opportunities for future installments, which will comfort readers as they reach the enthralling denouement."
