An interesting story about secrets and murders. Elves are dying of a plague and humans are dying while trying to be elves, where are the plagues coming from and why is the evidence being hidden as Finder looks for it.
I bought this on a recommendation from a friend so I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately they fell flat. I finished the book because I wanted to know what happened and I liked the characters. However I found the writing to be substandard, especially when compared to Charles de Lint, my favorite ...
Overall: 2.5 StarsI'm burnt out on vampires for the foreseeable future, but since I've made it my quest to read everything Catherynne Valente has ever written, I just read the stories of authors who I like/am interested in. Sadly, out of the stories I read, the only story worth reading was Valente'...
My sister recommended this book to me, and it took me several years to pick it up (as usual), but it was definitely worth the wait. The book, an epistolary novel written by SFF heavyweights Steven Brust and Emma Bull, concerns a group of family members in England in late 1848. As the action begins, ...
Another awesome cover. Look at that haircut, man. LOOK AT IT.Didn't hold up that well, I thought. The clothes and music are incredibly 80s, and now the "I'm a normal person recruited into the dark underworld of FAERIE!" is so overdone. I know this was one of the first, kind of ground breaking in tha...
I bought this book back in 2005 at the Mall of America, before I knew how to pack enough reading materials into my bags so I didn’t run out halfway through a road trip. I don’t think I knew what urban fantasy was back then, but I liked the cover and I had enough of my allowance left so hey! Why not,...
These Datlow/Windling collections were the best 'bests' ever! I've totally lost track of which ones I've read and which ones I haven't, though. This one was definitely new to me - and most of the stories were new to me as well - and mostly excellent.The 'Year' in question here was 1989. Apparently a...
Being an anthology there's something for everyone in here. While several of the stories are very typical Western/British faeries, there are plenty of stories that take fairie-like creatures from other cultural lore and form stories around them, ranging from Japanese, Brazilian, Filipino... It was a ...
It was OK, just OK. The narration is somewhat annoying, which makes the characters somewhat annoying, but the action sequences make up for that. I can't fault this book too much, though, since it's the first its kind and therefore, like most pioneering writing pieces, reads more like a lengthy writi...
