A Madness of Angels + The Midnight Mayor by Kate Griffin Review

On November 8, 2010 By Elena Nola In Book Reviews

This book is well-named.  Its title and subtitle are intriguing–they got me to look at its premise.  Which is also intriguing:  Two years after his murder, Matthew Swift wakes up again.  His house is no …

The Spirit Thief by Rachel Aaron Review

On October 14, 2010 By Lexie C In Book Reviews

I’m not sure there are words to describe how much this book delighted me.  I’ll try very hard, however. The Spirit Thief is the first in a planned series about the adventures of ne’er-do-well Eli …

Juliet by Anne Fortier Review

On September 3, 2010 By Elena Nola In Book Reviews

Grimblades by Nick Kyme Review 40k

On August 23, 2010 By Phillip Sobel In Book Reviews

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman Review

On June 10, 2010 By Elena Nola In Book Reviews

For reasons I cannot adequately explain, even to myself, I prefer to read fantasy over science fiction, but I prefer SF movies over fantasy.  So I don’t actually read a lot of true science fiction …

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer Review

On June 5, 2010 By Elena Nola In Book Reviews

Soul Hunter + Helsreach + Blood Reaver 40k by Aaron Dembski Bowden Review

On April 20, 2010 By Phillip Sobel In Book Reviews

Let me start by saying that this isn’t a book I would normally pick up. It tells a dark tale from the perspective of what I’ll call the “bad guys.” I could not conceive of …

On February 18, 2010 By Phillip Sobel In Book Reviews

On February 10, 2010 By Phillip Sobel In Book Reviews

Sons of Dorn by Chris Roberson Review

On January 20, 2010 By Phillip Sobel In Book Reviews
