Smoke Eaters
by Sean Grigsby

A very cool premise that fails in the execution step. It's an enjoyable, albeit forgettable, read.

The End of Summer: Thirteen Tales of Halloween
by J. Tonzelli

This collection of Halloween shorts demonstrates consistently good writing with characters that come to life (or death, as the case may be) in a realistic manner. This is a great read to help shift your mood into the spooky season.

by Jack Vance

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.

Baptism of Fire
by Andrzej Sapkowski

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.

Through Wolf's Eyes
by Jane Lindskold

Don't let the dated cover fool you. This is an excellent read with some truly intriguing characters.

Book Reviews

Honour of the Grave
by Robin Laws

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

Book Reviews

A Keeper’s Tale
by JA Andrews

A fairy tale type of story that is likable enough, even if it is marred by some unlikable characters.

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.
