PRINCE THIEF – David Tallerman
Prince Thief is the third book in a trilogy and I haven’t read the other two. It shouldn’t be absolutely necessary to read the first two books, but as is often the case, the reader may find him or herself wondering what went on before. Easie Damasco is a bit of a rogue. Okay…more than… Continue reading

ANOMALY – Krista McGee
Dystopian YA sci-fi with a Christian bent. That’s what we have here, and for all of that … it mostly works because author Krista McGee knows how to tell a story. Thalli is a teen female at some time in the future when The State controls everything about a person, including when they should die. … Continue reading

HALF THE WORLD – Joe Abercrombie
**WARNING — THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!** Joe Abercrombie is a terrific writer! Half the World is Abercrombie’s second book in his Shattered Sea series, and while you’ll want to read the first book (Half a King [see review here]) you don’t really have to in order to enjoy this book. The first book followed Prince… Continue reading

A CITY DREAMING – Daniel Polansky
A little over a year ago I review Christina Henry’s Alice, which was a dark, tremendous re-telling of the Alice in Wonderland story. It was sort of like mashing up Lewis Carroll with Franz Kafka. Daniel Polansky’s A City Dreaming is also a dark, wicked Alice in Wonderland-like adventure, but it adds one more author… Continue reading

THE INVISIBLE LIBRARY – Genevieve Cogman
Author Genevieve Cogman tapped into the dreams and desires of just about every bibliophile I know when she created The Invisible Library. There exists a library of all libraries – much like the famed Ancient Library of Alexandria – except that this library exists between dimensions. The librarians here often work as spies and thieves,… Continue reading

THE INTERMINABLES – Paige Orwin
Something I’ve noticed and really appreciated about publisher Angry Robot is that they have taken some risks and are putting out some science fiction and fantasy that is highly unusual and often edgy. They appear to be taking some chances that other, more established publishers aren’t taking. Paige Orwin’s The Interminables is no exception to… Continue reading

WARSHIP JOLLY ROGER BOOK 1: NO TURNING BACK – graphic novel
This looked interesting to me, hence my requesting an ARC, but I’d have to admit that I didn’t have the highest of hopes for the book. Something about it just gave me a feeling of being a bit ‘cheesy’ or too much of a cartoon. But I did get caught up in the story and… Continue reading

MARVEL’S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: CASTAWAYS – David McDonald
I have enjoyed a lot of novels based on comic book characters – I’ve definitely enjoyed more than I haven’t – and so I look forward to books like this, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Castaways, which tie in to comics and movies. Add the fact that it is targeted toward younger readers and I… Continue reading

AN ACCIDENT OF STARS – Foz Meadows
** WARNING — POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD ** I discovered a new term (to me) for a more specific genre than simply “fantasy” which describes this book. This is a ‘portal fantasy’ – one in which someone from today goes through a portal into another dimension or another world (either accidentally or knowingly). I don’t have… Continue reading
