Review:Only a couple of stories worth reading, the rest was trash that I skipped through due to unnecessary foul language or poor writing. It's quite a bit of money to pay for a mostly unreadable book. Very disappointed. Read more
Review:This book has been on my to buy list for the past year and thanks to Kindle Unlimited, I finally was able to check it out. The story starts out rather slow and there is lots of questions to answer but half way in the novel, I was hooked. Skylar is a likeable main heroine and she does some growing up throughout the book and I am looking forward to reading what's next in store for her. Read more
Review:Easily the best of an already great series so far. It's rare to find an author that can keep a series so engaging for so long, let alone successfully build upon and change all the established plot threads and continue from there. Read more
Review:Thank gawd for a surprise in this book! I like the Harry character. He's getting older and seasoned in his craft. Thus, it is time for an attitude adjustment. The 'sensitive' warrior personality coupled with constant self-doubt is getting old. Jeez, Harry is a White Council Warden now! He is required to act like a seasoned wizard able to provide guidance and mentoring to the newbies. The Blue Beetle should be fondly 'let-go' and be replaced by a Jeep or Harley reflecting elevated status and ... Read more
Review:The book is a great read. Jim Butcher does it again. Great story line with amazing twists. Also explains a lot of the council's functions that I never quite got in the other books. Can't wait to read the next one. Read more
Review:Once again JB starts off the book with a storm...of raining toads! I like the writing style that creates hard to put down books. Each chapter begins in the middle of a sequence of events that may include a conversation or an action sequence from the previous chapter. Great stuff for fantasy/investigative novelists. Read more
Review:This is the first book I've read by author Kevin Hearne, and I must admit that I struggled with this one.
The story is told through the eyes of the bard Fintan. A large group of bone giants has invaded, causing chaos and destruction. Throughout Fintan's telling of the events, the reader gets a picture of what the conflict was like. Numerous (too numerous, in my opinion) characters are introduced throughout the story, and I had a difficult time keeping track of who's who. I realize thi... Read more
Review:First and foremost, this is exactly what it claims to be...I have knocked it two points, because it really isn't very long, and frankly overpriced for what it is. The art is fine to good. The story is a good short story quality piece, that is a nice fun read. Did I mention it was short? Read more
Review:Most of these I have ready previously. None seemed as well crafted as the books. Felt a little as if I was a convenient wallet being opened... Also, not fond of the weirdness going on with Maggie... Just wanting my good old Harry Dresden books back on track again! Read more
Review:Pro: Jim Butchers stories! Fun and frantic! Waiting the next Dresden novel. Note, I stated "novel" not "appetizer."
Cons: I paid HOW MUCH for this?!? It's tiny!!! Damn...I should have gotten the Kindle version.
Lesson: ALWAYS read the description before mashing the Add to Cart button. Read more
