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.
This final book in the A Man of His Word series should have ended with a bang. Instead, it was barely a fizzle. A good series, but not great, and not one I would say is a must-read.
Sometimes a book just doesn’t work; this is one of those times. The Bard’s Blade may be the beginning of an exciting epic fantasy adventure for some, but I’m concluding my foray into this series with this first book.
An alternative take on the Father of Christmas that ultimately comes across as droll and uninteresting.
A very cool premise that fails in the execution step. It's an enjoyable, albeit forgettable, read.
A fairy tale type of story that is likable enough, even if it is marred by some unlikable characters.
Geralt remains AWOL for much of this book, which really is a shame because he has so much potential as a main POV character. Unfortunately, Time of Contempt continues the downward slide in ratings for this series.
Jilted storytelling and a main character who is missing for much of the book makes Blood of Elves a two rocket read for me.
A promising series fizzles out for me almost from the get-go in this second book in the Dark Tower series.
Blood of the Serpent fails to live up to the legacy of Conan and the vibrant world of Hyboria.
Shadows of Sanctuary offers readers a dark, introspective look at the city of Sanctuary.
Storm Season offers fans more of the gritty, morally complex stories that have defined the series.
A worthy follow-up to the original Thieves' World anthology.
Slaying the Dragon is an insightful and well-researched account of the history of Dungeons & Dragons.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy a richly detailed, morally complex world filled with unpredictable characters and stories.
Before They Are Hanged is a solid follow-up to The Blade Itself.
The Face of Chaos continues to deliver the gritty, morally complex stories that fans of the Thieves’ World series have come to love.
Last Argument of Kings is a thrilling conclusion to Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy.
Best Served Cold is a masterful exploration of vengeance and its consequences.
