Midnight Never Come By Marie Brennan "England flourishes under the hand of its Virgin Queen: Elizabeth, Gloriana, last and most powerful of the Tudor monarchs. But a great light casts a great shadow. In hidden catacombs beneath London, a second Queen holds court:...
Scar Night (Deepgate Codex #1) By Alan Campbell I wasn't too impressed with this one. I had high hopes, from the jacket text, but ultimately it was just too disjointed for me. I'm not even sure how to sum it up. There's questions of mortality, the soul, angels,...
India Black By Carol K. Carr The new fiction shelf at my library turns up some fun things sometimes. This was a fun and quick read. A madame at a brothel in London in 1876 becomes embroiled with one of England's spymasters and matters of national security when a top...
Dawnthief (Chronicles of the Raven, Book 1) By James Barclay You'll note in the above title, and on the book cover itself that this is Book 1 (the first) in a series titled Chronicles of the Raven (the Raven being the mercenary group the series revolves around). So...
The Masters of Solitude By Marvin Kaye and Parke Godwin This was another relic (1978) unearthed on my bookshelves, remnant of a long-ago library sale shopping spree. The Masters of Solitude is a post-apocolyptic story about the divide between the two groups who have...
Heartless By Anne Elisabeth Stengl Another New Fiction shelves find at the library; luckily, this one was worth the find. This book plugs itself as 'timeless fantasy' which is true. It's a classic prince must rescue the princess from the dragon theme, but with a few...
The Summer Country By James A. Hetley This was yet another random pick from the New Fiction section at the library. Generally I love a good modern-day crosses paths with Irish Fae-lands story, but in this case I did not. The main female character was an idiot, all the...
War of the Rose The Serpent & The Rose; The Golden Rose; The Last Paladin By Kathleen Bryan I enjoyed this series quite a bit. It's got some of your usual fantasy trappings (beautiful noble lady falls in love with common man, knights and magicians and devious...
This Friday Favorite is a little bittersweet. I have been on Goodreads since July of this year (I know, late to the game) but didn't stumble across the Bookswap they host until a few short weeks ago. And I was hooked. It's an awesome setup. You list books you own...
Ice Song By Kirsten Imani Kasai I was very intrigued by this book from the blurb on the back, which prompted me to check it out from the library. And then it was nothing like what the back leads you to believe. For a novel whose main character is a gender-bender...
