PODBRAM – POD Book Reviews and More – did a roundup of their favorite books of 2009. Out of the eighty-four books reviewed, twelve were selected as the winners in various categories, and five more were chosen as honorable mentions. For those of you who aren’t familiar with their reviews, these folks aren’t pushovers: they have a pretty tough reputation for reviews, and I’m proud to say that In Her Name (the Omnibus edition) was chosen as one of the books that received one of their reviews, and that the book was good enough to receive an honorable mention!
This beginning of a new science fiction series is already receiving accolades everywhere from Amazon to the Kindle Boards.
Yes, I wish it would have one a category selection, but it’s not really too surprising to me that it didn’t: the book doesn’t fit easily into any single genre, as it combines elements of science fiction (particularly military SF), high fantasy, adventure, and romance. So it has broad appeal to readers across genres, but if someone’s looking for “the best” book in, say the sci-fi category, there will likely always be another book out there to beat it. I don’t look at that as a disadvantage, it’s just the nature of the book.
So, check out their review of In Her Name and see what they had to say!
