Everything Under the Sky by Matilde Asensi
No TagIt’s a good thing that the gambling, opium-addicted, prostitute-loving husband of Elvira De Poulain died. She would otherwise be stripped of an adventure that is so engrossing it could compel the reader to skip meals and ignore chores in a mad dash to read the book’s ending.

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, Book 1 (The Inheritance Trilogy) by N.K. Jemisin Where to start the world building, the myth, the main character, the voice? This has got to be one of the strongest debuts I’ve read for a while. I tend to lower my expectations and criticisms when reading a debut. It’s generally unfair

A Hat Full of Sky: The Continuing Adventures of Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett I think the reason I liked this book so much was that it had a good balance of all of the elements that go into YA fantasy. Before I found the Tiffany Aching books, I’d only

City without End (Entire and the Rose, Book 3) by Kay Kenyon City Without End is to be admired and appreciated. It is to be enjoyed. City Without End is one hell of a novel. It is better than the A World Too Near, which in turn was better than Bright of the Sky. That

Easy Kill by Lin Anderson Anderson’s fifth novel featuring the forensic scientist Dr Rhona MacLeod, by contrast, is a flat-out sprint. MacLeod, a complex and engaging protagonist, is called in when the body of a murdered prostitute is found in Glasgow’s sprawling Necropolis cemetery. It soon becomes clear that there is a serial killer at
