REVIEW: Skirmish by Michelle West

Dear Ms. West, I love your books. Whether it’s under this pseudonym or Michelle Sagara, I make sure to read them all. It’s true that I find some more satisfying than others but I’ve never actually regretted picking any of them up. Given my growing disenchantment with the fantasy genre as a whole, this is(…)

What Jia’s Been Reading, Late October/Early November

Both my reading speed and time have taken a serious hit the past few weeks. Hopefully, my upcoming vacation over Thanksgiving will remedy that but who knows?

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: Cast in Fury by Michelle Sagara

Dear Ms. Sargara, I suspect longtime fantasy readers are more familiar with the epic fantasy novels you write under the Michelle West name.   But because those tend to fall in the doorstopper length category, we often have to wait a few years in between releases.   That’s one of the reasons why I like the Kaylin(…)
