REVIEW: Crucible of Gold by Naomi Novik

Dear Ms. Novik, Though I fretted for almost two years waiting for this book, I can see from your author’s notes that you’ve had a lot to keep you busy having had your own little egg, as the dragons would say, in the interim. Still, what a book you’ve written ... more >

REVIEW: Dark Mirror by Mary Jo Putney

lazaraspasteB Reviewsalternate-reality / Historical Romances / Mary-Jo-Putney / Regency England / Young-Adult17 Comments

Dear Ms. Putney, I have always enjoyed your romances, ever since I started reading romance nigh on six years ago.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Andrews: Other than Magic Mourns, the short story that was included in the Must Love Hellhounds anthology, I haven’t read any of your Kate Daniels series.
