The first thing that pops to mind is that this book is perfectly titled and that's not something you'll really get unless you read it. :) Once again, Monette and Bear throw you in the deep end of their intricate and perfectly wonderful worlds. The names are strange to the tongue and eye, there a...
DNF - read to 20%. I don't have the patience for this right now. The names are killing me, and the pacing isn't to my taste. Maybe I'll have more success later
Alfgya would no doubt chafe against restrictions and tradition no matter where she was raised. Raised as much by the wolfheal's trellwolves as by her father, then apprenticed to the svartalfar mastersmith Tin, she's split between natures and cultures and standing representative of the alliance betw...
So, book 3.Apparently once you have taken your first castle, you take a bit of a break. Seems about right, taking off 12 years in the middle of an invasion to...what? Wait for the protagonist to grow up?I don't know, I just don't know. I liked this book while I was reading it, swept away by the gorg...
I'm going to be honest with you, I'm a little bit disappointed in this book. I guess that's why it took me so long to do a review - I didn't want to say anything bad about it, but there really wasn't much to say.Let me start with the positive - we get glimpses of other people's points of view this t...
I picked up this book last night, because the third book is due out in a few weeks and I wanted to read the ones that came before before it does. I finished it this morning.In between, I edited a newspaper (badly, I'm sure), slept three hours, and made up the newspaper. I was so distracted I could h...
The Apprentice to Elves by Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear The harsh world of the North has defeated many enemies, from the bitter winters to the fierce Trells and their reality-bending stone-molding. Aided by the tunnel-dwelling alfar, the men of the north have withstood all. But the legion of R...
Guran delivers a good batch of stories about my favorite horror trope: the ghost. Given that it is a time worn sub-genre there is a pretty good amount of transcendence here that bodes well for the modern ghost story. There isn't really a Jamesian story here so if that is what you are looking for, mo...
Anthology. My problem with this book is I kind of OD'd on another anthology so I didn't give this book much of a chance and it's due back at the library with a charge of $1.00 a day late fee that they start charging immediately. So skim it is. I picked authors that I've read before but then again...
"The stories in this collection run the gamut from Neal Gaiman's The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury to Jim Butcher's hilarious Big Foot on Campus, touching on points in between. I won't even attempt to review every story here so I'll focus on what I consider to be the true gems in this collection. The ...
