MYTHBREAKER – Stephen Blackmoore
I’ll be honest … what got me interested in picking up this book is the note that this book is “the follow-up to Chuck Wendig’s Unclean Sprits.” Now, I haven’t read Wendig’s Unclean Spirits, but I am a fan of Wendig’s writing, so this very much caught my interest. Being a god isn’t what it used to… Continue reading

WITHIN WITHOUT – Jeff Noon
If you’ve read any of my other reviews of Jeff Noon’s John Nyquist series, you already know that these books are really unlike anything else. John Nyquist is a detective who takes on the oddest jobs – or the oddest jobs find him. In either case, Nyquist goes to the most unusual, mind-bending, confusing communities… Continue reading

THIEF’S MAGIC – Trudi Canavan
I once thought that I enjoyed reading epic fantasies – you know books with characters (like sorcerer, priests, and thieves) and storylines that could be pulled from a game of Dungeons and Dragons. But the more I read the more I find them seeming all too much the same, as if they were, well, characters… Continue reading
