Book Reviews

Honour of the Grave
by Robin Laws

Bizarre character behavior was so jarring I couldn't get through this one.

Book Reviews

The Outstretched Shadow
by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory

A promising start that fizzled out and ultimately led to me putting this one down.

Book Reviews

The Memory of Earth
by Orson Scott Card

This one fell flat on its face for me. DNF.

Fantasy

Master Assassins
by Robert V.S. Redick

Master Assassins is probably a good first book in what may be a very intriguing series, but I’ll never know for sure since it was a DNF for me.

Book Reviews

Lord of the Isles
by David Drake

The pacing is all wrong on this one, with characters that are flung at the reader and just as quickly tossed away.

Book Reviews

To Fall Among Vultures
by Scott Warren

A one rocket bomb. I couldn't finish To Fall Among Vultures due to the erratic writing, flat characters, and confusing storytelling.

Book Reviews

Faithless
by Graham Austin-King

Some people might like this book, but I didn't. Flat writing and flatter characters means a DNF in my book. I do love the cover, though.

Book Reviews

Artemis
by Andy Weir

Readers of The Martian will want to love this book. I did. Unfortunately, I came away disappointed. Unsophisticated writing and juvenile humor made Artemis a slog which I finally had to give up on.

Book Reviews

Nemo Rising
by C. Courtney Joyner

As the continuation of Jules Verne's classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, it's depressing to consider how great of a novel Nemo Rising could have been. Unfortunately, my only recommendation here is to give it a pass on your reading list.
