Review:the book was both light in writing and content, the characters in the book while acceptable had a very disappointing plot. The premise for this book would have been better if more nuances and less cliches were used. Having been a fan of Scalzi in the past this was not his best effort or most thought out work. Read more
Review:Don't think of this as a re-telling, or even a sequel to, the beloved source material--it is part homage, part alternative perspective, but all enjoyable. Best of all, it functions easily as a stand-alone novel and has, I'm sure, generated interest in H. Beam Piper's long-underappreciated original work. As usual, I won't bother with a plot synopsis--the story is as old as colonialism: bad guys want what innocent natives have and only the reluctant heroes stand in the way. Except the natives may ...

Review:I absolutely loved this anthology of Sherrilyn Kenyon's back stories for characters that pop up in the novels. The Gallagher story revealed more about Acheron and his interaction with the human race, while I loved Acheron's role in bringing a werewolf together with his werepanther wife. The werewolf has a famous bar that makes it's way into numerous stories.

Review:A fan since the beginning, Ms. Kenyon is still amazing me with her writing. Granted the books are all written in the same tempo and manner but thats why I love them! Mixed reviews had me a little leery at first although now I can't understand why. Excellent, waiting patiently for the next one. Read more
Review:If you are looking for a new twist on your usual fantasy books this is it. Well developed characters,that have heart and soul. Plot twits that keep you guessing. Action and plenty of it. Looking forward to the next in the series. It did get off to a bit of a slow start,but that gust gave you the groundwork for the story. Read more
Review:I have read a great deal of fantasy over the last 30 years, some good, some bad. This three book series is some of the better stuff I've read. If you enjoy fantasy and have been looking for a diamond among the rough you should read this trilogy. Read more
Review:This book was great. The pace was fast, and the feel was very real. The world "felt" very real, without losing pace for details. Overall, plot was a good balance between expected and unexpected. Definitely a great read. Read more
