I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass – Review
I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass
In her third and most autobiographical Ânovel, “I See You Everywhere,†Julia Glass engages this volatile dynamic head-on, presenting a double portrait of mismatched sisters, Louisa and Clem Jardine, whose lives are intertwined, “like a double helix, two souls coiling round a common axis, joined yet never touching.†Throughout her life, Louisa — the brainy, cautious, urban older sister — simmers with jealousy over her younger sister’s superior vitality, her supercharged love life and her adventurous career in the wilderness, where she works among creatures still wilder than she.

The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett In The Warded Man, Brett had introduced a world in which demons rise from the ground each night, slaughtering anyone they can catch. And each night the people of the land cower behind the only defenses that they have, specialized wards that the demons are unable to cross.
Darkness Calls By Marjorie M Liu – Review

Darkness Calls By Marjorie M Liu Darkness Calls is a good second book in a very promising series. It was not quite as good as Iron Hunt, but definitely still very good. I am impressed with this series so far. A little something different with the addition of an alien-esque quality (different creatures from different
The Hob’s Bargain by Patricia Briggs – Review

The Hob’s Bargain by Patricia Briggs What I liked: Usually fantasy novels are long and extremely detailed. This was a quick (281 pages), self contained story that I enjoyed very much. Aren is a strong woman in her own right. She doesn’t give up like many would when faced with such a tragedy. The creatures
Plague of Spells by Bruce R. Cordell – Review
about 1 year ago - No comments
Plague of Spells: Abolethic Sovereignty, Book I by Bruce R. Cordell Plague of Spells is not a work without flaws and, for me at least, oscillated between frustrating and genuinely enthralling. The novel opens with the monk Raidon Kane as he returns home to his adopted daughter. The reader gets a brief introduction to the

Monster by A. Lee Martinez And you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole—It’s a venture you won’t want to leave anytime soon. It’s got shades of Douglas Adams only it makes more sense. There are known monsters, there are unknown creations—there are fears, both real and imagined. There’s revenge, there’s the universe spinning on its axis.
The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett – Review

The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett The worldbuilding and the plot are perfectly blended together. I tend to think of demons as either spiritual beings, as rendered in the Bible, or as the red-skinned, horned creatures of the Doom games. Mr. Brett takes the latter approach, with a dash of the former. Demons–or corlings–rise
Without Warning by John Birmingham – Review
about 1 year ago - No comments
Without Warning by John Birmingham What we are left with is a somewhat trashy, although still enjoyable, techno-thriller with a batty premise. It’s all fun, but a bit on the forgettable side. This is a shame as the author’s previous work, the alternate-history Axis of Time trilogy, was much more successful in exploring its premise
