Book Review: The Legend of Broken
As much as I enjoyed Carr’s The Alienist, something is out of whack in his recent attempt at fantasy. My review of his The Legend of Broken would have been a bit more negative had it been written for a … Continue reading
Book Review: The Killing Moon
N.K. Jemisin’s new novel won’t revolutionize the way you think about desert-based fantasies, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good read. I reviewed The Killing Moon for BookPage.
Book Review: Angelmaker
Harkaway’s the son of John LeCarré, as I’m sure he’s tired of people pointing out. His latest book, which I review here for BookPage, almost lost me, but then it had me.
Book Review: Demi-Monde: Winter
I’m not sure what’s more impressive—the mix of cyber noir thriller and alternate history fascination or first-time author Rees’ adept handling of it. My review for BookPage.

Book Review: Snuff
My first visit to Discworld via my review for BookPage. Pratchett’s one of those legends I hadn’t read before. It was worth the trip, eventually, but I suspect some of his earlier entries in the series are better.
Book Review: Ghost Story
Jim Butcher’s latest entry in the Dresden Files may be his pulpiest, yet. It was certainly worth a review.

Book Review: A Dance with Dragons

Book Review: The Bones of the Old Ones
Though I’ve discovered plenty of good works by new authors since I began writing review for BookPage, Howard Andrew Jones’ Arabian Nights’-themed pulp has been by far the most enjoyable find. I review the second book in the series, The … Continue reading →
