Book Review: City of Dragons by Robin Hobb
Posted on May 22, 2013 Leave a Comment
City of Dragons by Robin Hobb This is the third book of Robin Hobb’s Rain Wild Chronicles series and unfortunately also my least favorite installment so far. That’s not to say I didn’t like it, but I’m also sensing a definite slowdown compared to the first couple of novels (see my review of Dragon Keeper and […]

Book Review: Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines
Posted on May 1, 2013 Leave a Comment
Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines This was a book I had high hopes for, ever since finding out what it was about. At some point in our childhoods, I’m sure all of us bibliophiles have wished that the worlds in our favorite books were real, and wondered what it would be like to interact with […]
Graphic Novel Review: Captain America: The Chosen by David Morrell
Posted on March 31, 2013 1 Comment
Captain America: The Chosen by David Morrell Before I get to the Captain America gushing, I need to get this out of the way. I don’t like the setting for this. No, I’m okay with the war environment, but I didn’t like that it specifically had to be Afghanistan and Al Qaeda related with the […]
Book Review: The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin
Posted on January 25, 2013 1 Comment
The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin Wendy’s rating: 3 of 5 stars This was a good but disappointing book. I blame my likely unfair review on N.K. Jemisin for writing The Inheritance Trilogy first. Comparisons inevitable happened, mainly over the way The Killing Moon was crafted and presented. Where The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms – a book […]
Book Review: The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis

The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis Tiara’s rating: 3 of 5 stars The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe has for, quite some time, been a movie that I’ve enjoyed, and I’ve enjoyed in just about every incarnation of it. I first remember seeing the movie as a young girl on PBS. I had to […]
Archive Book Review: Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines

Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines My rating: 3 of 5 stars Libriomancers have the ability to “pull” things such as objects and even people/animals (albeit, it’s a bit dangerous to pull anything other than objects from the books) from books. Isaac is a libriomancer who has been delegated to a librarian job after something went […]
Graphic Novel Review: Dragon Age: Those Who Speak by David Gaider
Posted on November 19, 2012 Leave a Comment
Dragon Age: Those Who Speak by David Gaider The Silent Grove re-opened a few issues raised in Dragon Age: Origins and the prequel book, The Stolen Throne, and added a few new ingredients. I was worried that Those Who Speak would fail to deliver an appropriate conclusion to all of that in a mere three issues – and I was right. […]
Book Review: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Posted on June 19, 2012 3 Comments
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline I recall a complaint somewhere or other claiming this book to be just an excuse to spout off ample ’80s trivia. I’m guessing that complaint came from someone who has no appreciation for that incredible decade – no, dare I say … dynasty! Movies, television and music are already […]
