REVIEW: Cast in Ruin by Michelle Sagara

REVIEW: Cast in Ruin by Michelle Sagara

Dear Ms. Sagara, Ah, the peril of the long-running series. I knew in the back of my mind that your ongoing Elantra series consisted of many books but checking Amazon, I see that Cast in Ruin is book 7. This both surprises me and makes me wince. Surprise because I can’t believe it’s been that [...]

REVIEW: Cast in Chaos by Michelle Sagara

REVIEW: Cast in Chaos by Michelle Sagara

Dear Ms. Sagara, I’m a longtime fan of both your Michelle West epic fantasy novels published by DAW as well as the Elantra series put out by Luna. Your books never fail to remind me of why I love this genre. I also can’t believe we’re already up to six books about Kaylin Neya, a [...]

REVIEW: Cast in Silence by Michelle Sagara

REVIEW: Cast in Silence by Michelle Sagara

Dear Ms. Sagara, You are easily one of my favorite authors.   These days it’s very rare for me to follow a series past a certain point, but I find myself doing that for the novels you write under both the Michelle Sagara and Michelle West names.   It also helps that thus far, they haven’t disappointed [...]

REVIEW:  Magic Study by Maria Snyder

REVIEW: Magic Study by Maria Snyder

Dear Ms. Snyder: I think your cover depicts the exact problems I had with this book: It looks like a modern girl dressed up in a costume and plunked down in a fantasy setting. Also, while this cover is beautiful, it is not the same woman that was featured on the cover of Poison Study. [...]

REVIEW: Poison Study by Maria Snyder

Dear Ms. Snyder: I came across this book when I was perusing ebook releases. It had a gorgeous cover and an interesting summary. I did minor research and found it received a starred review from PW. I figured it was worth the risk (it was not an inexpensive book). I am glad that I picked [...]

REVIEW:  Thunderbird Falls by CE Murphy

REVIEW: Thunderbird Falls by CE Murphy

Dear Ms. Murphy, I’ve had a copy of your first book “Urban Shaman” lying around the house for a while now but just never had gotten to it. Then I got my hands on a copy of your new Jo Walker series book “Thunderbird Falls” without realizing it was a sequel. Silly me. Well, I [...]

REVIEW:  Disappearing Nightly by Laura Resnick

REVIEW: Disappearing Nightly by Laura Resnick

Dear Ms. Resnick: I think that you are an underrecognized author who is on the cusp of a real breakthrough. Your entry from the Luna line was smart and funny. Esther Diamond is the understudy to Golly Gee, a B list pop star with a mediocre voice and a yen for acting. The current Broadway [...]

REVIEW:  Shadows of Myth/Shadows of Prophecy by Rachel Lee

REVIEW: Shadows of Myth/Shadows of Prophecy by Rachel Lee

Dear Ms. Lee: You certainly are versatile. From writing category westerns to thrillers to fantasy novels. I picked up Shadows of Myth from the library and purchased the Shadows of Prophecy ebook. It was nice to read the two of them in a row. Your stories, while eminently readable, are in part a retelling of [...]
