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 >

REVIEW: The Fallen Queen by Jane Kindred

JiaB Reviewsangels / demons / Entangled Publishing / epic fantasy / Fae / Jane Kindred / Russia3 Comments

Dear Ms. Kindred, A few months ago, I read your Carina Press novella, The Devil’s Garden, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminded me somewhat of a cross between Storm Constantine and Jacqueline Carey, which I thought was a good and interesting mix. I also liked that your characters ... more >

[Spoiler alert: I think I’ve managed to avoid direct spoilers for these two installments, but it’s almost impossible to talk substantively about the series without referring to events that occur after the first installment, The Shattered Gates. Proceed at your own risk.]   Dear Ms. Hale, Your Rifter series has ... more >

REVIEW: A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin

JiaC ReviewsBantam Dell Ballantine / epic fantasy / Fantasy Romance / George RR Martin26 Comments

Dear Mr. Martin, Has there ever been a more anticipated fantasy novel than this? Maybe, but I’d be hard-pressed to think of it. A Game of Thrones, the first novel of your A Song of Ice and Fire series, changed the face of epic fantasy. Made it darker. Grittier. And ... more >
