http://fantasyopinion.blogspot.com/2014/08/prince-of-fools-mark-lawrence.html
News, reviews and ramblings about fantasy books, writers and anything else I feel like. Prince of Fools - Mark Lawrence. The Red Queen is old but the kings of the Broken Empire dread her like no other. For all her reign, she has fought the long war, contested in secret, against the powers that stand behind nations, for higher stakes than land or gold. Her greatest weapon is The Silent Sister—unseen by most and unspoken of by all. The quest they are on certainly isn't standalone in the Broken Empire unive...

News, reviews and ramblings about fantasy books, writers and anything else I feel like. Moon's Artifice - Tom Lloyd. In a quiet corner of the Imperial City, Investigator Narin discovers the result of his first potentially lethal mistake. Minutes later he makes a second. Almost. Epic fantasy? Has that feel to it. Detective crime novel? Yes, kind of. It’s a good mixture of quite a few genres, and as someone who doesn’t honestly care about strict subgenre definitions it suits me fine. I enjoyed Lloyds Twili...

News, reviews and ramblings about fantasy books, writers and anything else I feel like. The Martian - Andy Weir. Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first men to walk on the surface of Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first man to die there. Digging a bit further, I realised Weir self-published the book firstly in serial format on his website, then as an amazon ebook and after it sold spectacularly well a publisher picked it up for lots and lots of money. Good on Weir! The book is most...
