The Ninth Circle by Alex Bell
‘The Ninth Circle’ is a deceptively short read that offers it’s readers more to chew on than a book twice it’s size. The eventual outcome is well worth the price of admission and offers a tantalising hint that we may not have seen the last of Gabriel after all…

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 [...]

The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Chronicles Series #1) by Bernard Cornwell
I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to fantasy readers. Yeah, the book is historical fiction, not fantasy, but it hits all the same spots (at least for me). If you are a fan of Ruckley, Joe Abercrombie, George R.R. Martin, or Paul Kearney (The Ten [...]

Veracity by Laura Bynum
In the end, even though “Veracity” covers a number of familiar themes and ideas; suffers from a routine plot, safe storytelling, and uneven characterization; and doesn’t realize its full potential as a novel; Laura Bynum’s debut is a very strong first effort. In particular, “Veracity” is well-written, thought-provoking, and powerfully relevant. Definitely [...]

The Rats and the Ruling Sea by Robert V.S. Redick
Overall, Robert V.S. Redick’s “The Rats and the Ruling Sea” possesses all of the same outstanding qualities that impressed me in “The Red Wolf Conspiracy”, while fixing most of the problems that plagued the first volume of The Chathrand Voyage Trilogy. In particular, the book manages [...]
