The Steel Remains (A Land Fit for Heroes Series Book 1)
The Steel Remains (A Land Fit for Heroes Series Book 1)

Review:This is an utterly brilliant, fantastically well written story, which is at times difficult to read. There are two elements that make it hard to read. First, the more prosaic issue is that there are multiple plot-lines and jumping between them is jarring. The second thing is the fact that Morgan writes in explicit detail about sex and some of the sex is between men. Having a gay hero *really* works. He is sympathetic and the plot elements revolving around his interactions with his family and how... Read more

Republic (The Emperor's Edge Book 8)

Review:As always, EE never fails; Witty, adventurous, suspenseful, romance, intriguing, captivating, the list goes on. I can honestly say this series has remained at the top of my favorites.

The Emperor's Edge

Review:This was a very interesting read. Although I found Amaranthe's scheme of counterfeiting dubious, the book was entertaining. I think I will have to chalk that up to the characters. I loved Sicarius' character, very mysterious, and I look forward to seeing how his character further develops along with his relationship with Amaranthe. There's definitely some tension there. The characters are likeable and the banter between them is humourous. Amaranthe is a good lead character, she's heart and... Read more

Torrent (Rust & Relics, Book 1)

Review:Female Indiana Jones Monster Hunter. It is as awesome as it sounds.

I also approve of the heroine twist - Delia isn't the main power house, for all that she is the main character. She knows her limits, but she also knows how to play her strengths to make the whole team stronger for all their parts instead of just one person standing alone against impossible odds. Read more

The Vegetarian
The Vegetarian

Review:This is one of those books which left me thinking (a) either I have not understood what the author was looking to portray OR (b) the book is just not good. I am inclined to think it’s option (a) since the book has been translated to English and was widely acclaimed locally (and perhaps globally?!) but I still feel compelled to give my two cents. The book tracks the path a woman’s life takes as she turns vegetarian and how her family reacts to it. I won’t say much further so as not to give too mu... Read more

Weekend Warriors (Sisterhood Book 1)

Review:I love those women who have fallen between the cracks of law and order, these weekend warriors, these avengers, who will leave no stone unturned to seek justice for those for whom Lady Justice has turned her head. I can just picture Myra, who is so precious and Charles who is the genious of the Sisterhood. What a motley crew and what wonders they have done. I'm reading the whole series. I want more, more, more. Read more

The characters were so vivid - you could just imagine being there.

i have almost all of Johanna Lindsey's books and I reread them - especially the older ones.
I like her style of writing - she was one of the first author's I started reading. Read more
