The Girl with Glass Feet: A Novel by Ali Shaw
If there is one niggle I have about “The Girl with Glass Feet” is that its interesting cast of characters is not fully developed outside the main heroes and to a large extent Carl, while the novel rushes a bit towards its inevitable end. Another fifty [...]

Dragon Keeper: Volume One of the Rain Wilds Chronicles by Robin Hobb
In the end, it’s difficult to review a book that is only one-half of the story, but because of characters, prose and world-building that is vintage Robin Hobb; a story that continues to build on the epic mythos established in the author’s previous Elderlings [...]
