Age of Assassins is for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted mystery wrapped in a fantasy setting.
A high quality collection of short stories with a uniquely evil perspective.
If you’re looking for a collection that leans more towards the classic style of Lovecraft then I think Acolytes of Cthulhu is a worthy addition to your TBR list.
Great premise but a failure to deliver on well developed characters and a storyline that fell back onto child antics too often left a bitter taste in my mouth on this one.
A very cool premise that fails in the execution step. It's an enjoyable, albeit forgettable, read.
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.
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.
Slaying the Dragon is an insightful and well-researched account of the history of Dungeons & Dragons.
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.
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.
Best Served Cold is a masterful exploration of vengeance and its consequences.
Last Argument of Kings is a thrilling conclusion to Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy.
