Flat characters never instilled in me a desire to see or care if the crimes were solved. Lord Darcy is a fail for me.
Assassin's Fate is everything you might expect from Hobb as her masterful storytelling intertwines all of the disparate Elderling worlds and brings to a close the story of one of fantasy's most beloved characters.
A fun adventure full of colorful characters, intrigue, magic, and, of course, the King's Blades.
Scalzi has the success and the genre cred to write a real book on writing. This is not that book.
Led me down such a herky-jerky path that the only thing clear to me was that I was not going to continue with the series.
A fun, fast, enjoyable read that sets the stage for many adventures ahead as we explore the intriguing relationship between Penric and Desdemona.
A 4 rocket rating gets marked down to 3 due to the excessive typos. Otherwise, Blackguards is a rich collection of dastardly tales full of rogues, thieves, and assassins.
This second novel in Bujold's Sharing Knife series brings to a close events set in motion in Beguilement. A slow and steady pace (much like a Robin Hobb novel) ensures a long, enjoyable read as Bujold always impresses.
The Collapsing Empire begins a galaxy spanning story full of political backstabbing and shaky alliances. Scalzi's always colorful cast of characters and punchy writing kept me engaged throughout the reading experience. Needless to say, this one doesn't disappoint.
Evil is a Matter of Perspective by Adrian Collins (585 views)A high quality collection of short stories with a uniquely evil perspective.
Engines of Empire by R S Ford (552 views)A story that is epic in scope is hampered by too many weak characters.
The Indivisible and the Void by D.M. Wozniak (493 views)"War. Magic. A lover's betrayal. A dark secret lies beneath them all." So begins a tale of mystery and intrigue and some seriously powerful magic.
Azura Ghost (The Graven #2) by Essa Hansen (481 views)While the fantastic tech is no less prevalent in this second book in the Graven series, the storytelling and character development are ratcheted up a few notches to make this an exciting, bold read.
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi (433 views)A lighthearted take on kaijus with minimal character and story development. Still, it may be a good read as long as you aren't expecting anything too serious.
Nophek Gloss (The Graven #1) by Essa Hansen (408 views)Genre defying, truly mind-blowing technology, and a revenge plot where it doesn't seem anyone can really win. This book has a little bit of everything.
