A very cool premise that fails in the execution step. It's an enjoyable, albeit forgettable, read.
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.
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.
Don't let the dated cover fool you. This is an excellent read with some truly intriguing characters.
Bizarre character behavior was so jarring I couldn't get through this one.
A fairy tale type of story that is likable enough, even if it is marred by some unlikable characters.
A promising start that fizzled out and ultimately led to me putting this one down.
The best of the best for 2018. Earning top honors is a tough endeavor. See if you agree with my selections.
Engines of Empire by R S Ford (744 views)A story that is epic in scope is hampered by too many weak characters.
Azura Ghost (The Graven #2) by Essa Hansen (634 views)While the fantastic tech is no less prevalent in this second book in the Graven series, the storytelling and character development are ratcheted up a few notches to make this an exciting, bold read.
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi (622 views)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.
Nophek Gloss (The Graven #1) by Essa Hansen (559 views)Genre defying, truly mind-blowing technology, and a revenge plot where it doesn't seem anyone can really win. This book has a little bit of everything.
