Audio Book Review: City of Lies by Lian Tanner
Posted on June 5, 2013 1 Comment
City of Lies by Lian Tanner Okay, let’s see if I can pull this review off without making it another gush-fest on my love for Claudia Black. As usual, her narration is fantastic, but for this second book of The Keepers Trilogy, I want to focus on the story because that’s what I think really […]

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold A shadowy curse hangs over the royal family of Chalion and it falls to a broken man to save them from the curse and the political viper pit that threatens to bring them down. I fell in love with Cazaril not long after he was introduced. When […]

Blood of Dragons by Robin Hobb This is the fourth and final book of the Rain Wild Chronicles series, bringing a close to the story of the dragons and their keepers…for now. In the last book, we saw the characters arrive at the legendary Elderling city of Kelsingra, only to find it accessible only by flight. […]
Book Review: Cobweb Bride by Vera Nazarian

Cobweb Bride by Vera Nazarian I have to praise Nazarian’s artistry when it comes to the written word. She seems to enjoy the language and it felt like she was painting with her words. But after about thirty pages, it started to very much feel like the canvas was growing much larger than necessary and […]

Jhereg by Steven Brust Guess this is what you’d call an oldie but a goodie. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of Steven Brust until a few weeks ago, but he was recommended to me by a gaming friend of mine, and then another good friend jumped into the Twitter conversation to second the recommendation.

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson Huge fan of Brandon Sanderson here, which is why I was all over this book even though I knew it would take place outside of his Cosmere universe and be a little different from his usual epics. I admit I was mostly curious as to what reading a young adult […]
Book Review: City of Dragons by Robin Hobb

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 […]
