About the author

Christina McMullen is a science fiction and fantasy author who just can't seem to keep humor from sneaking into everything she writes. When she's not writing (which is most of the time these days), she's either getting her butt kicked in Mario Kart or catering to the whims of a very small and very grouchy dog.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017I decided to review this as a box set rather than each individual book mostly because I'm lazy, oh, and also because I get to be the first one (well, at least on Amazon I am). The other reason is that I read through it as though it were one book - finishing one and starting straight on to the next. It was glorious. I highly recommend it.
Each of the books in this series is easily a five star, so that makes the math rather easy for figuring out the number of stars to give the box set.
Each book is a fast, entertaining, and fun read - almost deceptively so. There you are, reading what you think is a quirky, humorous, light novel, when from nowhere comes this passage that makes you stop and think in the most unexpected ways. And this happens throughout the series. I was most of the way through the second book when I began to realize the depth the author had put into the world she built. And I was finishing the third book when I actually took notice of the series title: The Rise of the Discordant. See that word "Rise"? That meant things were only going to get more complicated for our protagonists, and it did in the best of ways.
The story is told in first person with each chapter switching to another character's viewpoint. Each character is well developed with a unique voice, and I found getting different perspectives on the same event to be a lot of what I considered fun about this series.
I don't think this necessarily ruins anything, but there's a phrase in the beginning of the last chapter of the last book that I absolutely love. I want to frame it and put it on my wall, but for now I'll simply use it to close out my review.
From the chaos comes form, from form, the divide, from the divide, balance, and from the balance, order. From order the need to rebel. from rebellion, upset, from upset, anarchy, and from anarchy, chaos.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2017I jumped at the chance to download and read this quirky series and I was not disappointed! Vastly entertaining plots and characters with surprising turns and interesting twists on some already-familiar concepts. Would recommend for fans of books like Hitchhiker's Guide or authors like Terry Pratchett and Piers Anthony.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018An amazing storyline, which is creative, exciting, and entertaining. The pages are filled with witty, sarcastic, and amusing dialogue, though at times it becomes quite heartwarming. The battle between the agents of Order and the minions of Chaos is never-ending. The triad of Order is made up of a guardian, warrior, and observer, but the small city of Blackbird has lost their much needed guardian due to burn-out. Seth, the Observer, is overwhelmed with his empathetic powers, as the Discordant of Chaos bombard the city. He gets help from the newly appointed Warrior, Desmond, and a coven of witches and other mystics. There’s even a lesser demon called Bogie who seems willing to help.
There is so much to love about this series, which is extremely well-written. The characters are all quirky and wonderful. The storyline takes all sorts of twists and turns. I really can’t recommend this entire set enough, in my opinion, it’s absolutely brilliant!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2019Uptake is slow but as you learn about the characters you are drawn to learn more until you feel their feelings, their wants, they begin to seem almost like family.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2019I like Urban Fantasy and this is one that I might consider rather gritty in comparison to others. The town is portrayed as depressingly doomed with only a few hold-outs assigned to bring it back to balance between negative and positive influence. Unlike many similar plots, 'good' and 'bad' are considered to be rather religious concepts and not necessarily what needs to be accounted for. Positive and negative characteristics are assigned based upon generalizations of a species. It doesn't mean that there aren't outliers... One of my favorite characters is a demon (generally considered a negative influence) who is increasingly seeming to change his ways. In the end, like a bankbook, it all must balance. It's worth the read to watch the sides tipping back and forth and the struggle that goes into keeping each on an equal footing.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2017Great story and great writing. Really first class books. I loved this series and couldn't out it down up to the very last word.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017Utterly different than most. Thought-provoking and absorbing story that was hard to put down. Loved the escape from traditional thinking about good, bad and split souls.
