This is a fantasy story that's quite different from most. It's part one in the series but it does end a bit. It really made me want to read more of the series! (I'm currently eagerly awaiting the next part). There are three main characters and the story is told from each of their viewpoints. They ar...
Despite my best intentions, I seemed to spend more time adding to my TBR pile last year than actually reading any of the books on it. This was particularly true of series reads, where there were just too many literary commitments to chose from. So, for 2013, I've decided to target those series with ...
Some minor spoilers towards the end of this review. While I felt that Brett's 'The Warded Man' had more than a few flaws, it was a refreshing conflict and world, concept, and had likable, worthwhile characters - enough to override many of the flaws. The concept of a world forced into their homes, pr...
I am so thankful for Goodreads First Reads for allowing me to get this book. I have not yet had a chance to read it but once I do I will be sure to update this review.
Just about as perfect a debut novel as I could imagine. One might nitpick some places where the detail was generic or other minor qualms, but Brett's book captures and hooks you early on and won't let go. I couldn't put it down. In fact, only reading another can't put it down novel forced me to. I l...
I loved this book, the premise had me hooked the moment I read it. The world that Brett has created is incredible to read about, richly detailed and full of wonderful landscapes, and its an absolute pleasure to read about it. The humans in The Painted Man are forced to live out their lives in the da...
After finishing Mass Effect 3, I really wanted to read some sci-fi. So I went down to my local library, and browsed the (rather pathetic) sci-fi and fantasy section. I came back with four fantasy books, and just one sci-fi. Luckily, one of the fantasy books was this one, because it was amazing. I wa...
I wish I could give this a higher rating, but while this book is engaging and uses its cliched bits mostly in the best ways possible, I just... there are just a few too many things that I can't get past to REALLY like this story.First, the good parts - there are three point of view characters. They'...
I really liked this book but for several reasons I couldn't like it enough to 'go the whole hog' and empower it with divinity. By which I mean to tattoo a five star rating onto this review and ward off all book demons.I loved the pacing of this book. I loved the very idea of this book. I loved the t...
