Fixed on Fantasy: REVIEW: Divergent/Insurgent/Allegiant by Veronica Roth

http://www.fixedonfantasy.com/2014/05/review-divergentinsurgentallegiant-by.html

Thursday, May 22, 2014. REVIEW: Divergent/Insurgent/Allegiant by Veronica Roth. I've always been someone who likes to read the latest fad novel/series, rather than turn up my nose and deem them as pop trash, which happens far too often I think. Just because something has become part of popular culture, appeals to the masses or has been picked up by Hollywood doesn't automatically negate any literary integrity . I mean, it must have had something going for it? I started reading Divergent. Ultimately I rea...

Fixed on Fantasy: October 2014

http://www.fixedonfantasy.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 5, 2014. REVIEW: The Broken Eye by Brent Weeks. I'm a huge fan of Brent Weeks' work and this series in particular; they're fresh, fast paced and engaging. It is a huge sadness to me then to have found the third installment of the Lightbringer. Truly great fantasy works with incredible depth. The Broken Eye. In comparison felt shallow in terms of development, investment and length. The worst crime The Broken Eye. Character viewpoints switch too often for the reader to really be able to sin...

Sunday, July 20, 2014. REVIEW: The Splintered Gods by Stephen Deas. Is the second installment in Deas' The Silver Kings. Trilogy, making it book six in the series including The Memory of Flames. Trilogy and the standalone novel, The Black Mausoleum. Keeping in mind also that his Thief'-Taker's Apprentice. Trilogy also ties in to this novel, so all in all it's turning into a saga for the ages. I recently wrote a rave review for Dragon Queen. And this one for The Splintered Gods. This is incredibly excitin...

Fixed on Fantasy: REVIEW: Mitosis by Brandon Sanderson

http://www.fixedonfantasy.com/2013/12/review-mitosis-by-brandon-sanderson.html

Monday, December 16, 2013. REVIEW: Mitosis by Brandon Sanderson. Is a short story (more like a chapter really) that follows on from Sanderson's most recent novel, Steelheart. I think it's really great in this digital age that authors can publish tidbits, short stories and novellas rather than being confined to conventional novels. Sanderson has been really successful in keeping the appetites of fans consistently sated through a number of shorter works including The Emperor's Soul,. You can get Mitosis.

Fixed on Fantasy: November 2013

http://www.fixedonfantasy.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 17, 2013. REVIEW: The Tower Broken by Mazarkis Williams. By Mazarkis Williams is the third and final installment in the Tower and Knife. Trilogy, following on from The Emperor's Knife. For me, each of these books had a markedly different feel, due mostly to the notable changes in nature of the protagonists and their respective relationships. I still think The Emperor's Knife. Is best described as a combination between it's two predecessors; somewhat hazy in parts, but also strong and gri...

Thursday, December 19, 2013. REVIEW: The Warlock's Shadow by Stephen Deas. There is something so simple and comforting about this series, of which The Warlock's Shadow. Is book two of three. After reading the likes of N. K. Jemisin who really like to shake up their fantasy world building, it's nice to return to a bread and butter Medieval Europe setting. Book one, The Thief-Taker's Apprentice. The same can be said again for the first three quarters of The Warlock's Shadow. Sitting on my shelf! Before I w...
