A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking is the kind of lightheartedness we all need a little of right now.
Our heroes take their struggle to survive from the air to the water in the fourth book in the Hell Divers series. With renewed purpose, the crews of the Hive and Deliverance set their sites on the Metal Islands, a place they intend to call home just as soon as they uproot the cannibals that have already claimed it as their own.
A little confusing at times, Sun of Suns is nevertheless an excellent book with some beautiful worldbuilding.
Deliverance maintains the fast pace of the previous novels, but the writing, which continues to remain shallow, and the lack of any real character development took this one down a notch compared to the early novels in the series.
A fast-paced, fun novel that isn't going to dazzle you with its sophisticated writing but which will take you along for one hell of a ride.
Of Blood and Honey is perhaps the most literary urban fantasy book I’ve read in recent memory. Don't let the "fey and the fallen" subtitle fool you, either. There's a lot of grit here and characters who may surprise you if you let them.
Historical fiction at its best. Memnon is a character that history knows so little about, yet Oden breathes a spectacular life into him and has written a superb book.
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.
By Fire Above picks up right where The Guns Above left off, with strong characters, an engaging story, gripping action, and a world that is both fantastic but also almost believable.
Blood of the Serpent fails to live up to the legacy of Conan and the vibrant world of Hyboria.
A worthy follow-up to the original Thieves' World anthology.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy a richly detailed, morally complex world filled with unpredictable characters and stories.
Shadows of Sanctuary offers readers a dark, introspective look at the city of Sanctuary.
