Skirmish Michelle West

REVIEW: Skirmish by Michelle West

JiaB+ Reviewsdemons / epic fantasy / gods / Michelle Sagara / Michelle West18 Comments

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 ... more >

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? Cast in Ruin by Michelle Sagara I’m a big fan of Michelle Sagara/Michelle West’s books but this one didn’t live up to my ... more >

REVIEW: Cast in Silence by Michelle Sagara

JiaB ReviewsFantasy Romance / Harlequin / Luna / Michelle Sagara / Michelle West / Time-Travel15 Comments

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 ... more >
