I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first picked up The Battle Sylph, but what I got was the best debut novel of 2010. Chock full of romance, magic, greedy villains, and heroes found in unlikely characters, The Battle Sylph has everything. He is one of many: a creature […]
This review is really hard for me to write, because I so wanted to like The Dream Thief by Shana Abé. When I first read it, I was left feeling like I had only skimmed the surface of what could have been a great novel. The Dream Thief wasn’t exactly lacking […]
Everything I know about DC comics, I learned from itsjustsomerandomguy. Well, that’s not entirely true – growing up, I watched the superman movies, laughed at reruns of Adam West’s Batman, collected playing cards from Keaton’s Batman movie, and watched the ill-fated Flash TV show. I was mainly a Marvel reader […]
One of my favorite types of stories are twisted fairy tales, where an author takes a classic and gives it a makeover. Sometimes they don’t turn out all that well, but I can’t say that with The Stepsister Scheme by Jim C. Hines. It was fabulous! Cinderella–whose real name is […]
Through Stone and Sea by Barb and J.C. Hendee is the second book in the run off series to the Noble Dead. While I can’t say that I liked Wynn, Chane, and Shade more than I like Magiere, Leesil, and Chap. I will say that this was a solid story […]
The Spirit Lens by Carol Berg was a book that started off slow, but soon had me invested in the character’s outcomes. In a kingdom on the verge of a grand renaissance, where natural science has supplanted failing sorcery, someone aims to revive a savage rivalry… For Portier de Savin-Duplais, […]
Normally I don’t care for books with dragons in it, but Shadow of the Vampire by Meagan Hatfield had me from page one. I immediately felt sympathy for Declan, since I, myself, have lost my parents and I know what that is like. The characters were strong and believable and […]
The first book in the new Iron Elves series by Chris Evans, A Darkness Forged in Fire is a book that I should have enjoyed, but it was sadly lacking. In this world, Konowa Swift Dragon, former commander of the Empire’s elite Iron Elves, is looked upon as anything but […]
I initially expected and Falling, Fly by Skyler White to be the usual paranormal fare, but I can honestly say that it was anything but. In a dark and seedy underground of burned-out rock stars and angels-turned- vampires, a revolutionary neuroscientist and a fallen angel must put medicine against mythology […]
I didn’t think I was going to like this book as much as I did, and that was such a pleasant surprise! Locked in a coffin-like darkness, there is nothing to distract me from my memories of killing Reyad. He deserved to die—but according to the law, so do I. […]
