Well written and kept me reading. Still, somehow I could not connect with this final entry in the series. The characters seemed distant to me. Maybe just because it took so long after second book for me to read this one. Maybe because I so loved his other series, Throne of Amenkor that began wi...
An entertaining, enjoyable and original collection of short stories involving a variety of unusual were-creatures.
Kickstart anthology, and I was a backer. I’ve mentioned before that anthologies frequently conform to the same shape. Not a bell curve, but one that starts high, drops rapidly, rises again towards the middle, and tapers off less sharply towards the end. Really, I should draw this Standard Antholog...
DISCLAIMER: A review in progress as each story is read from someone really horrrible with reading and reviewing anthologies and short stories/works. This one was picked up because I'm a fan of Joshua Palmatier and kept reading his posts about the project and seeing lots of favorite authors: ★★...
A collection of stories centered on the idea of fey creatures dealing with the modern world. My favorite was by far Jim Hines's "Corrupted," followed by Kari Sperring's "Water-Called" and SC Butler's "Crash." I really wanted to like Elizabeth Bear's "Slaughtered Lamb" because there were so many ch...
The writing is good, but there's just nothing surprising here. This would probably be very good for someone new to stories about the fae. It was just a bit boring to me.

Joshua Palmatier has done a very good job with this debut novel. I think it is sometimes difficult for male authors to do female leads, but Joshua pulls it off well with Varis. She is a character you can sink your teeth into, one you feel for, one who is believable. This is not a pretty world he cre...
15 stories set in a bar that moves and morphs with the times. I really like the concept, but some of the stories are just not to my taste, someone who likes historical fantasy more than I do would probably like more of the stories. I would be interested in reading more stories by other authors set i...
