Pratt goes to great length to tell us how much of a bad ass Mason is, yet we never see that reflected in the unfolding story. It's for that reason that I'm reluctant to go ahead with this series.
An enjoyable read that could have used something more to elevate it.
A novel that is good, apocalyptic fun with a hero who just so happens to be a postman.
A no-nonsense mystery story that just happens to occur during Halloween. I gave it three rockets because, while it's an entertaining enough book, it could have used a bit of drama to liven it up.
The ongoing adventures of Cugel the Clever continue in the third novel in the Dying Earth series. Will Cugel once more attempt to gain greatness with the least expenditure possible? It wouldn't be called Cugel's Saga if he didn't.
The best book in the series so far, Baptism of Fire is marked by a series of notable events and characters who keep the pace moving and the reader's interest as Geralt (finally) takes center stage.
Very well written but The Privilege of the Sword just didn't give me enough to truly enjoy it. Still, it has some moments where it shines so I'm giving it three rockets.
A story that begins with great promise perhaps becomes a bit too complex for its own good, but ultimately entertains and deserves your consideration.
This first installment in the Witcher series didn't knock me off my feet, but it did suprise me with the depth of some of the stories. It's a good read and the start of something hopefully really good.
