Short story collections are often uneven affairs, whether there is one author or, as in this case, nine. Clockwork Fairy Tales is a group of fairy and folk tale retellings that succeed to varying degrees in both the retelling and the attempt to create a Steampunk world. While opinions on which are t...
Okay first off I am going to say we all know I love fantasy. I adore it and I adore short stories. It is what got me started as a writer. But! And there is a but. You see one of the things that drives me nuts is a story where the author is taking themselves too seriously. They are not writing a st...
This was a really interesting story. The idea of a nun with five young teenage girls, with those five "special packages," being dropped off in the middle of nowhere, in a house with no electricity, and a couple of boxes of supplies, was really interesting, but at the same time seemed to make no sens...
With trigger warnings. Child abuse, incest, and dub-con, as well as violence. Let me start with the issues I had: the main character, Marcus Selvage, wants to cut himself up, to become a machine, because of trauma. And this is iffy for me. What does that say about people like me? But the...
"More than five-hundred pages, over one-quarter of a million words... Space Opera spans a vast range of epic interstellar adventure stories told against a limitless cosmos filled with exotic aliens, heroic characters, and incredible settings. A truly stellar compilation of tales from one of the de...
As we pass the halfway mark of the year, we find the first of the new 'best of' anthologies flooding the market. Currently I have 4 monster tomes that I've been reading through, jumping around between favorite authors and intriguing titles. I'm not one to read an anthology from cover-to-cover, but I...
Intense. What a trip. Finished up unexpectantly quickly. I was reading just a few chapters then couldn't stop. A very different book, gripping writing, flawed heroine that you still root for even after quite frankly turns vengeful murderess (which is less harsh than it sounds when in context of...
I got distracted about 40 pages from the end and read the few other books, but that was NOT Green's fault. I went back to it and could not stop reading until the end, at which point I wanted the sequel. The entire book was different and engaging and I loved seeing Green grow to find her own path and...
Es un libro interesante, en el que aprendí la estrategia del M.I.C.E. que utilizo frecuentemente para destrabar mis arcos argumentales. Tiene buenos ejemplos y da buenos consejos.El único problema es que el autor es uno de esos homofóbicos furiosos que buscan pasar leyes discriminatorias. Así que si...
I picked up Metatropolis as a freebie from Audible. Who can say no to free? The collection contains 5 short stories all based in a shared universe that was a collaboration of the authors.The world itself was interesting. The world takes on a city-state like appearance and is a bit more low-tech in t...
