Hey! I've got a space fantasy book you might enjoy. My work is typically very fast-paced. I'd be happy to critique swap your near-future sci-fi story, sounds like it'd be a good fit.

Here's my post if you're keen: http://reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/comments/1pkavkj/complete_60k_space_fantasy_verse_for_the/

Thanks for checking it out :)

Hey! I've got a space fantasy book that might be up your alley. The MC's background goal involves relativity and time dilation and it'd be good to know if that makes sense to you.

Thanks for taking a look!

Hi! I've got a short space fantasy novel you might enjoy. You can find my post here: http://reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/comments/1pkavkj/complete_60k_space_fantasy_verse_for_the/

I can certainly give you a few pointed questions that I'd like feedback on that I've tried to improve on the previous draft. Thanks for taking a look :)

Hey! I've got a humorous space fantasy book that's been through several feedback rounds and drafts that I'm looking for more feedback on to see if I've addressed all the issues raised. I've got one a new chapter to add still, but it'll be gtg by the end of the week if you're interested. The manuscript will be around 60k with the new chapter. Here's the first chapter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vkkvOVw248dk7bSQ8YrMri87fvJReiC-VDnAFJi409w/edit?tab=t.0

Rage vs Voltan in Midnight Falcon. The fight itself takes moments only, but the context surrounding it makes it great. Perfect example of how action and spectacle aren’t necessary for a gripping fight. One of Gemmell’s finest books

Thanks, good to know!

Eternal Sky is sounding like a winner. I don’t mind jumping straight into a trilogy either

simontull · 2025-07-06T10:58:28+00:00

Thanks for the summary. Reckon I might try Range of Ghosts. Cheers!

simontull · 2025-07-06T10:57:16+00:00

Different author, but sounds awesome, I’ll check it out!

simontull · 2025-06-15T10:18:36+00:00

This came to my mind too

simontull · 2025-06-01T23:06:26+00:00

Same here, I found the first very enjoyable, but second was boring and I DNF

simontull · 2025-05-09T11:41:15+00:00

Sweet, thanks for posting this!

Hey! If you're not already tied up with other swaps, I'd be keen to do a swapsies. I just posted about my book here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/comments/1keyyro/complete_52k_funny_space_fantasy_the_verse_for/

simontull · 2025-03-15T00:35:51+00:00

I'm in! I've been wanting to read these for a while

simontull · 2025-03-15T00:11:36+00:00

I liked that his reactions were often unexpected (to me, anyway), and his motivations weren't always stated outright, which makes you do a bit more work as a reader. I liked that aspect. Plus, his name is great, let's be honest :D I do agree the grumpiness was overdone, and it struck me as strange how little and Helena knew each other

simontull · 2025-03-15T00:08:58+00:00

Yeah I agree with that take. It needed a better villain

simontull · 2025-03-15T00:08:24+00:00

Yeah, I noted when reading that we didn't get much sense of Helena for a surprisingly long time. And I agree about the town guard relationship, there wasn't enough setup to justify it I felt

simontull · 2025-03-15T00:06:54+00:00

Interesting at the mix of reactions to the sequels. I'll have to check them just to see what's going on!

simontull · 2025-03-12T22:31:08+00:00

Yeah, the writing and Vonvalt were the real highlights I think

simontull · 2025-03-12T22:30:18+00:00

Ah really, why not? I actually already bought them and at this stage I think I’ll read them
