A Speculative Fiction Blog. Sunday, March 4, 2012. Review of Thief's Covenant by Ari Marmell. She is Widdershins, a thief making her way through Davillon's underbelly looking to find answers, and justice with a sharp blade, a sharper wit, and the mystical aid of Olgun, a foreign god with no other worshipers but Widdershins herself. Is the first in what I hope to be an ongoing series. And although I have not uncovered anything that tells me this outright, Mr. Marmell's website. Let me show you what I am t...

http://writingexlibris.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-of-scourge-of-betrayer-by-jeff.html
A Speculative Fiction Blog. Thursday, May 17, 2012. Review of Scourge of the Betrayer by Jeff Salyards. Many tales are told of the Syldoon Empire and its fearsome soldiers, who are known throughout the world for their treachery and atrocities. Some say that the Syldoon eat virgins and babies–or perhaps their own mothers. Arkamondos, a bookish young scribe, suspects that the Syldoon’s dire reputation may have grown in the retelling, but he’s about to find out for himself. A gripping military fantasy in th...

A Speculative Fiction Blog. Sunday, May 27, 2012. Review of The Troupe by Robert Jackson Bennett. Vaudeville: mad, mercenary, dreamy, and absurd, a world of clashing cultures and ferocious showmanship and wickedly delightful deceptions. Because there is a secret within Silenus’s show so ancient and dangerous that it has won him many powerful enemies. And it’s not until after he joins them that George realizes the troupe is not simply touring: they are running for their very lives. Enter stage right, a st...

A Speculative Fiction Blog. Saturday, February 11, 2012. Review of Hounded by Kevin Hearne. Ahhhh The start of a new series. Some readers cringe, others cross their arms and shake their bloody gords with the expression that says, "NO! I will not start another series, I just. can't." Piss on that, I say and quit your whining sissy! The story in Hounded builds to an epic conclusion of its very own and leaves you with about 20 different directions to look forward to in the upcoming installments. One hundred...

http://writingexlibris.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A Speculative Fiction Blog. Saturday, November 12, 2011. Review of Sword of Fire and Sea by Erin Hoffman. The first thing that I would like to talk about with this review is what's right on the cover. The art. Fan'freakin'tastic is what this cover is. And after completion of the novel it is something that can be marveled at more so because I think that it really does capture the essence of the characters told of in the pages that follow it. Dehong He, whose other work can be found HERE,. The scent of her...

And now his past has come calling again. For none can resist the Shadow's Lure. This review contains spoilers for book 1 Shadow's Son. Genuinely surprised because Josey kicks royal butt!
