GR Cleanup Originally Read in 2010 I should not have started this book when I did. I had books to read for review (with deadlines looming over my head), several reviews to write and another book halfway finished. But after being drawn to it by a review here from a Goodreads friend, I bought it and...
NB: Review originally posted on GR @ Fall 2012. Minor edits/clean-up after import to BL. NB: This is a dark epic fantasy + paranormal. 220,735 words @ 300/pg = nearly 736 pages. Simply put, BLOODRAVEN is one of the most riveting books I've read in a long, long time (1st read @ Jan 2009), and ...

This is really 3.5 stars. After reading Waiting in the Throes I thought I would be hesitant to pick up anything featuring non-con elements anytime soon. So not the case. Turned out I just became more jaded. There are also some attenuating circumstances at play here; the characters aren't ordinary hu...
There’s a moment about a third of the way through Bloodraven, when Yhalen, the young forester who was taken prisoner by ogres and then brutalized by them, uses his powers to heal his erstwhile captor, who had also raped him, though not with the same cruelty. “Why?" [Bloodraven] asked instead. "Why ...
Wayyy longer than 280 pages. Wayyyyyyyyyy more gruesome than I'd thought. And wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more sexy than I'd like to admit... And then I got to chapter 2.
I don’t think I’ve had such an engrossing fantasy read in an age. I’ve seen the book sereral times when I’ve been fossicking through PL Nunn's website for goodies, but just not picked it up. Obviously an oversight on my part!The world building is what initially sucked me in. It was vivid and without...
I honestly do not even know where to start with this review. I started off being somewhat horrified by the unbelievably descriptive giant ogres, their killing, raping and overall torture of the tiny humans. They get a hold of Yhalen early on in the story, and it was amazing he survived his first e...
This story was quite a surprise. I came across it by accident and didn't know if I would like it but took a chance based on all the great reviews. I thought I would be squicked out by a lot (there are a lot of dark and different themes in this story) or not be able to take the story seriously (Ogr...
Oh my. I don't know where to start, if I even want to start my not-so-much-review-but-more-comment review. All I can really say is that it was intense. Very intense. It was in the point of view of Yhalen, and at the very beginning, I was rather lost. But then when I got into the story -- wow. The ha...
