Lord of the Fire Lands by Dave Duncan continues the story begun in The Gilded Chain and ends with a twist that so surprised me I didn't wait long to pick up the next in the series. Duncan continues to impress!...

Led me down such a herky-jerky path that the only thing clear to me was that I was not going to continue with the series....

Billed as the first "podiobook," Tee Morris has created a gem of a story here regardless of the format. Part fantasy, part noir detective novel, Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword had me laughing out loud at times....

A fun adventure full of colorful characters, intrigue, magic, and, of course, the King's Blades....

Crystal Rain by Tobias Buckell is a "Caribbean style" science fiction novel with a little bit different style because of that. While I did enjoy the world building, I wasn't initially intrigued enough to jump into the next book in the series. Eventually I did, though, and I loved Buckell's other installments....

Farthing has a style that is easy to read and holds the reader's attention fairly well, but ultimately I just didn't find enough going on here to give it a recommendation....

Duncan delivers another gripping tale set in the (mostly) historically accurate Venice of yesteryear....

Pratt goes to great length to tell us how much of a bad ass Mason is, yet we never see that reflected in the unfolding story. It's for that reason that I'm reluctant to go ahead with this series....

A promising start that fizzled out and ultimately led to me putting this one down....

Plenty of danger but little suspense means a fairly bland read....
