The Reader Club Book Reviews

A place for readers of any age, but the focus is on middle-grade to young-adult-age novels. I look at Christian and non-Christian novels from a Christian worldview, trying to help my readers see how all books can be read and enjoyed biblically. randalmurphey.substack.com

  7. Shiloh by Helena Sorensen

    Shiloh by Helena Sorensen

    If you are a fan of classic or dark fantasy, this is the book for you. Shiloh by Helena Sorensen. Forget about the fact that this is a YA book and a great one at that, this is a book that can be read and enjoyed even in adulthood. Forget about the fact that this is a Christian author, the book can be read and enjoyed by non-Christians. Most of all, I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series. The link to the book in the description is an Amazon Affiliate link. There's a little kickback for the show when you buy the book using the link that goes to support this podcast.

    The Cruel Prince

    Oh, we're fully into Young Adult with today's episode. We're back in fantasy and diving into a sad and cruel tale through Holly Black's The Cruel Prince. It's a captivating book but caution to my listeners, this book has themes for much older readers than the books I've reviewed so far. If a YA version Game of Thrones sounds like a book for you, give this episode a listen! The link to the book in the description is an Amazon Affiliate link.
