Review is for the series. I really liked this trilogy! The characters were a little hard to get comfortable with in the beginning, but I stayed with the books because I love the relationship between thieves Loch and Kail. Their banter really reminded me of Michael J Sullivan's Royce and Hadrian. The...

There also wasn't any background at the beginning of the story on th...

This was a great read. I am not 100% sure how to classify: steampunk, fantasy, scifi? It has artifacts, magicians, and flying airships...oh, and unicorns and elves... It had such a kick ass heroine. No blustering, just solid. A soldier who was badly wronged and is out to make things right. She i...

I used to think that adding a unicorn to a story (especially if it's already fantasy) could never be a bad decision. Now however, I'm no longer so sure... Because the horny unicorn that roams this book really had me confused. All the while I was reading I thought it was meant as a story for older ...

Good ideas, but lack of characterization and worldbuilding ultimately become problematic. http://fedpeaches.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-lot-of-promise.html
