There's not much that can grab and hold my attention for prolonged periods in this age of sensory overload. I love it when you scratch the side of your nose and realize that you've been utterly engrossed in a book for about twenty or thirty pages, totally oblivious to the fact that you've walked ont...
Say one thing for Joe Abercrombie, say he ca- No, wait. Wrong series. Though you might be hard-pressed to know it. Because aside from a lack of offensive language and a slightly downplayed level of violence, Abercrombie's young adult SHATTERED SEA series is pretty damn close to as good as his FIRST ...
I've yet to read a book by Joe Abercrombie that I didn't like. I was initially surprised to find that Yarvi was not the main character in this installment, but he is a supporting character, and an extremely important one at that.

I'm having a few busy weeks so I won't update as often this month. In the first book we followed the coming of age of Yarvi. In this book he's no longer the protagonist, instead filling the role of an important supporting character. The two new protagonists are your typical teen fantasy characte...
A few years ago I realized the fantasy genre had lost its appeal to me. I figured my tastes had just changed, and I stopped picking up fantasy titles. And then I found myself with an obligation to read Half a King. I was stunned at how much I enjoyed it. It had all the things I liked about the genre...
