Markhat has certainly changed since I last encountered him as a hard-luck Finder in The Mister Trophy. In The Darker Carnival, the ninth in the series, Markhat is married, secretary’d, and given that he has a childlike banshee under his roof, rather harried. He’s so thoroughly powered up that when t...
This is the sequel to one of my favorite fantasy novels of the last few years, All the Paths of Shadow by Frank Tuttle (my review here). Unfortunately I didn’t like it as much as the first book. The story continues the adventures of Meralda, the Royal mage of Tirlin, and her faithful sidekick Mug, a...
Finder Markhat is clanless and all he wants one night is a drink. He is at the Dead Troll Tavern when a someone walks in, asking for him specifically. A troll. He and his two brethren have a job for Markhat to complete, to recover the head of one of their own. Markat reluctantly agrees and, together...
Markhat is a Finder, charged with the post-war task of tracking down sons and fathers gone suddenly missing when an outbreak of peace left the army abandoned where they stood. But now it’s ten years on after the war, and about all he’s finding is trouble.. Short review: This is novella length, an...
Ugh i hate writing a review when its been a while. I'll give it a go and hope for the best. So All the Paths Of Shadow is an interesting book. Its set in a different world to what we live in but not by much, there are quite a few similarities, For one its kind of set in a relaxed Victorian era, yo...
*Book source ~ Purchased on Amazon There are six fantasy shorts in this anthology and as with most anthologies, I have my favorites and those that are not so much. All of these stories are well-written and have great characters, so I won’t repeat myself about these points in my short summaries abo...
The Mister Trophy was a well executed novella. It was a great fantasy short. You were given a full story, just enough to spark interest in reading more from the series. It had trolls, vampires, magic, and a witty, sarcastic, brave and honorable main character that you couldn't help but want to see m...
This little book, composed of three short humorous stories about a wizard Wistril, was pure entertainment. Wistril is a rotund, peaceful wizard, if a bit grouchy. He likes his food, his books, and his comforts. He lives in a castle with his sarcastic apprentice Kern and a couple hundred of staff, al...
This is a well-written reconstruction era Lovecraftian short story.I really liked the idea of sorcerers fighting along side union and confederate troops.I think there is a lot of material here if Tuttle were to decide to put together a similarly themed novel....or series.4 STARS
A very fun and quick read, which gives the reader a glimpse of a wondrous universe where vampires have used their unnaturally long life-spans to gather all the power in their own hands.Features a different kind of trolls, wacky characters and a vein of humour very reminiscent of Terry Pratchett (unf...
