Today marks the 2nd birthday of Red Litten World, the third book in The Bell Forging Cycle. I tend to talk a lot about my books. So to change things up, I figured it’d be fun to celebrate the anniversary of Red Litten World by letting you speak. Below is a collection of reviews written by readers. I pulled these today. All of the selected reviews are all public, and I’ll link to their location. Since it’s Red Litten World’s birthday, let’s work backward from there…
Red Litten World
“…weird fantasy fiction at its finest.”
— Review of Red Litten World on Amazon

The Stars Were Right
“The book never lulls. It’s hard to put down. The characters are likable, and the plot is well written.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Amazon
“One of the most imaginative action/suspense fantasy horror/thrillers I’ve ever read.”

“A great new spin on Lovecraftian themes, and definitely worth a read!”

“This is like reading for a book by Jack Vance in his prime for the first time, a Jeffrey Thomas’ Punktown story, or one of Gene Wolfe’s New Sun novels.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Amazon
“It is very rare to run across a Lovecraftian inspired tale that grabs a hold of you and doesn’t let go.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Amazon
“A gritty adventure through a city rich with life and death, in the style of a tale told over some cheap whiskey at a dusty dive bar on the outskirts of a bizarre Lovecraftian town.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Goodreads
“Alexander does a fantastic job evoking a tangled, towering city of hidden alleys, bustling markets, colorful inhabitants, and plenty of those hole-in-the-wall diners with the best local cuisine you’ve ever had.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Goodreads
“I fell in love with the protagonist Waldo from the start. Almost as much as I love the world in which he lives.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Goodreads
“The world is explained as needed by the main character and neither leaves us guessing about important story elements nor bores us with a world-history.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Powell’s
“If you are a hp Lovecraft fan then this book is for you. (Even if you arnt you should give it a read!) What a fantastic book!”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on iBooks
“This book changed the way I look at fantasy as a whole. It was also loaded with a ton of what I’d consider mystery as well. I read straight through the night and couldn’t put it down.”
— Review of The Stars Were Right on Barnes & Noble

Huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time and left reviews on my books. Reviews (both positive and negative) are vital to the success of a novel and its future promotion. Without a minimum number, a lot of promotional houses won’t let someone like me submit special offers on their work. Likewise, new readers won’t know what to expect before they make a purchase. So if you like a book (or a series of books) be sure to leave a review.
I know a lot of readers get stressed about reviews, but they tend to overthink them. Reviews don’t need to be an extensive book report, and you’re not writing an article. (Unless you want to of course.) Just write up a few quick sentences saying why you liked or loathed a particular novel. It helps a lot.
