This third "book" in the Foreworld Saga follows in the same vein as its predecessors. There's a short story (Seer) up front which I quickly got bored with and skimmed (it was yet more backstory on one of the characters). After that, the conflicts against the Mongol invaders, within the Mongol Imperi...
Book one of the Mongoliad ended on a cliffhanger with several characters in imminent peril and all of its story lines left twisting in the wind. Instead of picking up where book one left off, after a half-decent but forgettable short story (Dreamer), book two gives readers a snarky middle finger by ...
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm going to state up front that I do not like serials as a storytelling format. They're too episodic, too disjointed, too repetitious for my liking. I picked up this book and three of its sequels for three reasons: 1. It's an awesome idea with some intriguing n...
This is a book I'd like to return to for a re-read, some day. From the author's portrait inside the front cover you'd swear that he's lightweight. Nope, deep, ceremonial magical stuff here, the bloody messy stuff with death, blood and souls here. It starts when Markham, on the hunt for a woman ...
Apologies for any misspelled names in this review – after all, I did listen to the book.Set in 13th century Europe, the place is being over run by Mongols. A small band of warriors and mystics think they can save much, if not all, of Europe from the expanding Mongol horde. Of course, the Mongols hav...
The closest I can compare Mark Teppo's writing style is Christopher Pike. He writes this refreshing mix of horror/paranormal thriller with almost brusque, military style and dizzying pace. I have to say, I really liked it once I got into it.Teppo's vampires reminded me of Feehan's Dark Carpathians i...
Silas is an Arcadian, a blood drinking, sun avoiding, earth dwelling child of the Mother, on a mission from her and the Grove to desperately try and combat the tide of destruction humanity inflicts on the planet. It’s a desperate fight, one they seem to have already lost, but the Arcadians have many...
A prequel to The Mongoliad, Dreamer is a very short tale about the knight Raphael. A quick read that initially offered just enough to get me intrigued, but the writing fell short and the content left me far from satisfied. In all fairness, I might have liked this better if I'd been more interested i...
