Black Sun Rising is another highly recommended fantasy novel that I took my time to get around to finally reading. Having completed this novel I admit that I am slightly torn about it as an entire experience. On the whole it is not quite as great a read as other novels I have rated four stars, yet a...

One of my goals for this year was to finish more series. I had started this many years ago. The sad thing is why I started it is because I loved the cover of the third (and last) book. I did read this, but never finished the series. I decided to pick them up from audible and get through them. I ...

May be a bit spoilerish Twelve centuries ago the planet Erna was colonized by mankind what was a big mistake as it turned out later. First the colonists didnĀ“t know about the many earth-quakes and the "fae", an energy which materializes human emotions to demons. The starship was destroyed as wer...

The prologue was absolutely the best part of this book, but over the course of a few hundred pages any excitement I felt had been whittled down to nothing. There is SO MUCH repetition, it really started to grate on me. The magic system started out awesome and terrifying, but by the end (with a reall...

I enjoyed it for the most part. I thought most of the characters were interesting, particularly Tarrant and Vryce. Unfortunately, the exception is Chaini who's just kind of there. Vryce and Chaini flirt a bit and somehow that's sort of kind of maybe love? The person he's attracted to isn't there for...

This is kind of a vampire story with a pretty cool magic system and a collection of very interesting characters. I honestly don't remember the book very well, I read it well over 15 years ago, but I do remember the cover art. I've always really liked it and even have a print of it on my office wal...

This turned into quest fiction after a hundred pages or so, much to my chagrin. I stuck with it for a while longer since the beginning showed such promise, but I have zero tolerance for a book length journey.

The magic system was very interesting, using the fae to "Work" things like healing, warding, and seeing. The characters, however, were unable to sustain my interest in them throughout the long journey they set upon to get back the memories and Working capabilities of the adept, Ciani. Her apprentice...
