A likeable, diverse cast heads this first novel in the Rain Wilds Chronicles.
An ambitious story, plenty of twists and turns, and a unique magic system all come together to make Mistborn one of Sanderson's best.
Shadow's Son is akin to a blockbuster summer movie that almost works. It's good entertainment, but won't leave you hungry for more.
It's never a good sign when a book starts with an infodump. Wit'ch Fire was a DNF for me.
Step into the wayback machine; this tale takes place long before The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, when the First Dark Lord, Morgoth, sought dominion over all of Middle-Earth. It's an easier read than some of the other scholarly works of Tolkien and a much more enjoyable read as a result.
Sometimes a book doesn't live up to the hype. Peter Brett's The Warded Man was one of those for me as a great premise fizzles out and is ultimately wasted.
Nostradamus has predicted a government official's murder and now that person has wound up dead. Did the Maestro perpetrate the crime to enhance his reputation as a soothsayer or is something more foul afoot? Mystery, intrigue, daring, and magic prevail in this debut novel in Duncan's Venice Series. As usual, Duncan does not fail to deliver.
Superb writing, great storytelling, and intriguing characters makes this first book in Bujold's Sharing Knife series a delight to read.
Dark, gritty, and singular in scope, King begins an epic story in the first novel in the Dark Tower series.
