It's All Stover 7: Revenge Of The Sith

Thu, 13 Apr 2023 19:21:25 GMT

The Conclusion of George Lucas' epic saga is a movie many people have opinions on. This, however, is a book we have opinions on. Widely considered Stover's magnum opus, this book lends intense interiority to the characters of the film while also having some of the best prose in the business. The tradgedy and political complexity of the Star Wars prequels are never in finer form.

It's a pretty good book.

It's All Stover 5: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Traitor

Sat, 18 Feb 2023 01:24:26 GMT

We return to Stover for the first of his works in the cult classic but lacking mainstream success science fiction series STAR WARS. Though this is book 13 of a series we have not read, it stands alone as an outstanding peice of science fiction, filled with interesting questions about the nature of life, questions about the dogma of forces within star wars that had stood unquestioned up until this point, and some of the sickest action sequences I've ever read, all told in Stover's best prose yet.

This book is 300 pages, read it.

Also, emberassingly Sniper completely forgot that decades old EU characters aren't common knowledge, so neglected to specify Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo are the children of Han and Leia. Sorry if this leads to confusion.

CW for torture, manipulation, civilian casualties, slavery, and body horror.

Join us next time for Mace Windu Shatterpoint, a book that has meant a lot to us.

It's All Stover 4: Blade of Tyshalle

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 21:58:37 GMT

We return to the acts of Caine with Blad of Tyshalle, maybe Mathew's best book yet, bu containing some of the worst scenes we've ever read nonetheless. What if you took the parts of Heroe's Die that interested us the most, focused more on them, and then randomly made it somehow one of the queerest books us, a pair of queers who read a lot of marketed queer fiction, have ever read? You get Blade of Tyshalle, a book I really recommend.

It's All Stover 3: Jericho Moon

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 04:01:07 GMT

We're back with Barra in the sequel to Iron Dawn! Our heroes confront the tribes of Israel, and Carter and Ina have thoughts about the portrayal of Religon in broad strokes and in specifics, as well as continued thoughts on Kheperu, and an enjoyment of another broadly good novel.

Next time we're back with Caine for Blade of Tyshalle.

It's All Stover 2: Heroes Die

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 20:56:20 GMT

We return to the works of Stover with his second novel, Heroes Die. While Iron Dawn was a fun time for us both, this book was simply fantastic. Join us as we go into a cyberpunk fantasy story that contains all the delightful prose, interesting concepts, and half dozen Othniels we could possibly hope for.

And shout outs to our girl Talann.

Welcome to the first episode of It's All Stover, where Carter and Ina cover the 1997 fantasy novel Iron Dawn. It's Stover's first published work, and one we both enjoy, though we have a lot to complain about regardless. And just a bit of time to be the world's biggest fans of Othniel.

Next time, we will be covering Heroes Die, the first book of the Acts of Caine
