The Hollow Boys: The Dream Rider Saga, Book 1 af Douglas Smith
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
A fun quick paced story that reads like a comic book or movie. Even when the scenarios are comic-book-logic fantastical, the emotions feel real, so I found myself really enjoying it.

The Wolf at the End of the World (The Heroka Stories… af Douglas Smith
Rogue elements in the CSIS are trying to eradicate the Heroka (were-creatures from Ojibwe legend). But something FAR worse is waiting.

The preaching about the ills of modern-day society is a bit heavy-handed in parts but overall an enjoyable story based on legends I knew little or nothing about.

Chimerascope af Douglas Smith
A collection of short SFF stories, some verging on horror. They were variable, some I definitely wanted to spend more time in their world, most were OK, and only one I was tempted to abandon, and that was just because I didn't find it very interesting.

The Hollow Boys: The Dream Rider Saga, Book 1 af Douglas Smith
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Power fantasy that was too YA for me. The main protagonist is a billionaire genius teenager who writes a comic that is the most famous in the world; his secret superpower is that he can walk in dreams (like the comic he writes, Dream Rider) and find out information, which he uses both to invest and to save kidnapped children. But he’s also an orphan still trying to figure out what happened to his parents and gave him this superpower, and also he’s severely agoraphobic and unable to go outside in the real world. He meets a street kid with her own superpower, searching for her kidnapped brother, and they face a mystical threat together. Various plot conveniences occur.… (mere)
