When Predator was released unexpectedly in 1987, it was one of the finest science fiction movie of its time since the release of Alien in 1979. In 1989, Dark Horse published Predator, the comic book series as an in-direct sequel to the movie before 1990 Predator 2. I have not read any of the comic v...

The Fractured Dream was a lovely and exciting tale to read. It’s the kind of book you read in one breath because it’s very well written, funny and adventurous.Story, the main character, is so complex and real that you instantly feel like you’re her friend and want her to decipher the riddle of her s...

Arc provided by Booktrope through Netgalley I really wanted to like this book _as I do with every single one I read! _ but unfortunately the writing style didn't work for me. ( I am however aware that I've become extremely nitpicky with my old age, and that in the past I've finished books worse t...

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.Quick note: because I loved this book I can't be as descriptive and informative in this review as I am with others because I will spoil you all.This was an outstanding fantasy read! I was gripped from that enticing prologue until ...

Firstly thank you to the author for sending me a copy of this book for review.Before you pick this book up let me warn you that it’s a big book. Now that may seem really obvious but with the world of e-books it’s not as obvious as it used to be. With a paperback it’s pretty obvious the bigger the bo...

I got this book ages ago on the strength of it being edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley, one of my favorite authors back when this book was published in 1983. "Greyhaven" is one of the homes that MZB lived in, and "the spiritual home" to a community of writers, friends and family of the author who writ...

Just when I was about to lob this book aside, because reading these last few 'Gandalara' books has been like a slow-building venom, each instance of poor writing (and careless editing), emotional exposition, and unneeded reminders that Rikardon is very special indeed, making me more sick, the books ...

And so it ends.The 'Gandalara Cycle' was a touchstone of my adolescence, coming around at a time when I first really began exploring fantasy and science fiction as independent genres as opposed to just the more exciting brand of book. I was bowled over by it, I thought and thought and thought about ...
