It’s a new year! That said, I feel like I haven’t done a whole lot of reading this month. Hmm. Skirmish by Michelle West This is the latest in West’s fantasy cycle and the first in a long time that got me extremely excited about events in this world. That’s mostly because this is the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve reviewed the Elantra novels you write under the Michelle [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
