Dear Ms. Wilson: This is a tough book to review because it is the fifth book in an epic romance fantasy story and this story brings to conclusion plot arcs that began in book 1. For that reason, the measure by which I have judged this book is how satisfying I found it to be [...]

Dear Ms. Wilson: I see how you are and I can’t say I like it very much. Do you honestly think it is fair to write compelling stories without a resolution and then expect a reader to wait an entire year for the next installation? Lord of the Fading Lands left us with Ellysetta Baristani [...]

A few weeks ago, I started reading Lord of the Fading Lands by C.L Wilson. It was sold to me as a epic fantasy meets romance tale. I was skeptical. I hadn’t ever read an epic fantasy + romance and frankly, I didn’t know that it could be done. Epic fantasy, at its core, relies [...]
