Of Blood and Honey
by Stina Leicht

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.

Blood Engines
by Tim Pratt

Pratt goes to great length to tell us how much of a bad ass Mason is, yet we never see that reflected in the unfolding story. It's for that reason that I'm reluctant to go ahead with this series.

Popular Reviews
  • Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames (699 views)

    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.

  • The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden (686 views)

    It's never easy saying goodbye to such engaging characters, but I was left with a satisfying conclusion and the fulfillment of many character arcs so I'm happy.

  • Emperor and Clown by Dave Duncan (606 views)

    This final book in the A Man of His Word series should have ended with a bang. Instead, it was barely a fizzle. A good series, but not great, and not one I would say is a must-read.

  • Acolytes of Cthulhu by Robert M. Price (595 views)

    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.

  • Evil is a Matter of Perspective by Adrian Collins (485 views)

    A high quality collection of short stories with a uniquely evil perspective.

  • The Indivisible and the Void by D.M. Wozniak (421 views)

    "War. Magic. A lover's betrayal. A dark secret lies beneath them all." So begins a tale of mystery and intrigue and some seriously powerful magic.

  • Engines of Empire by R S Ford (411 views)

    A story that is epic in scope is hampered by too many weak characters.

  • Azura Ghost (The Graven #2) by Essa Hansen (387 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 (341 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 (326 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.
