Dark Jenny by Alex Bledsoe – review
Publisher’s Description: Wrongly accused of fatally poisoning a member of the queen’s personal guard, sword-for-hire and undercover investigator Eddie LaCrosse struggles to find the real killer in order to prevent his own execution, a case that exposes a sinister plot against the throne. What I expected: This was the third in the deliciously mixed-up Eddie [...]
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson – Review
This book was marvelous. It caught my interest from the very beginning with the author’s unique use of magic. The world created in Mistborn isn’t entirely original, as many fantasy books involve a land where there is an evil ruler who oppresses a lower class, but in Mistborn it’s the abilities the characters have and how they use these [...]
Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente – review
When I first heard about Deathless, I was very excited to read it, mainly because, while I enjoy reading and studying folklore and fairy tales on my own time, I am not very familiar with any of the stories from Russian or Slavic cultures. I knew that it was going to be a story entirely new [...]

Shadow Chaser by Alexey Pehov – review
With Shadow Chaser, Alexey Pehov once again delivers the goods. His sequel to Shadow Prowler is a fantasy novel full of action, adventure, swords and sorcery, and the peerless thievery of the hero of The Chronicles of Siala series, Shadow Harold. This time, though he likes to work alone, the only way he can fulfill [...]
Brooklyn Knight by C.J. Henderson – review
New York City is one magical place, but the part of it known as Brooklyn might just have the most magic in it per square foot of all the boroughs of the Big Apple. That’s because it is the home of Professor Piers Knight, the esteemed curator of the renowned Brooklyn Museum. He’s an expert [...]
The Dark Zone by Dom Testa – review
When last we checked in on the intrepid crew of the Galahad, a coup is averted, relationships are broken, and they’re all pretty lucky to get through the Kulpier Belt. This time around we get more alien life forms (they kind of look like birds…sort of)! And more angst! And someone is going to [...]

“Surrender, surrender, but don’t give yourself away!” Yes, that’s right; I’m pandering in this review of Glen Cook’s latest (and third) entry in his Instrumentalities of the Night series, Surrender To The Will Of The Night, to that cross-section of our reading audience who are both Cheap Trick and science fiction/fantasy fans. I count on [...]
