This is one of the more bizarre books I’ve read in a while. I would classify it as science fiction, but most of the story really reads more like fantasy, with a very heavy dose of mythology. At the beginning of the story an alien, pyramid-shaped object lands on Earth. Some people who get within a ce...
This is a collection of fantasy Christmas tales from New Zealand writers. Some are fluffy, some not so fluffy, all are pretty much good. Come and celebrate Christmas with Dragons, or watch a fairy teach a child an important listen. What happens when you try to arrest Rudolph? Read and find out. Fo...
I find it difficult to quantify why I’m giving this book four stars because the book had a lot of flaws, but I really enjoyed the story. It takes place on a planet where humans and members of a xenophobic alien race are in conflict. Technology exists that could help the humans survive but, due to ...
I cannot get enough of this series. It winds me up, it breaks my heart, it keeps me turning pages when I should be doing other things. The prose isn't the most stylish, and it has a tendency to put people into Good and Bad categories, but watching the complex plot wheels turn is immensely pleasurabl...
An intricate ensemble piece, just shy of too much confusion to be comfortable. The vast array of agendas is tricky at first, but watching things slowly converge and resolve was immensely pleasurable. Several scenes made me gasp aloud. Not a fast read, but a very satisfying one, though I thought the ...
I read this for the second time this week. I still love the characters and the setting is really unusual for an epic fantasy. Holy moly is this book long though! Even liking it I barely made it.
I think this is my fifth time reading this book, but since it's now goodreads official I'll write a real review. I read this book as a variety starved teen in Yellowstone. Considering that it's an epic fantasy written by three people not really in that genre (Mercesdes Lackey maybe, but Eric Flint w...
3.5/4 starsThough the pacing was occasionally slow, I loved the two young protagonists. The last 50 pages kept me on the edge of my chair, and I could not put the book down. Dire peril chased after the submarine crew, with each hazard more deadly than the last. I am very much looking forward to m...
Wow! I'm so glad I read this. Written as a sort of aside to a larger series, A Mankind Witch takes two of my favorite characters from the Heirs to Alexandria series and sets them off on their own adventure. I loved the addition of Cair and Sginy to the cast, and I'm kind of bitter that they're proba...
