REVIEW: Minor Mage by T. Kingfisher

JayneB- Reviews / Book ReviewsGhost / juvenile / mages / Magic / novellaNo Comments

Oliver was a very minor mage. His familiar reminded him of this several times a day. He only knew three spells, and one of them was to control his allergy to armadillo dander. His attempts to summon elementals resulted in nosebleeds, and there is nothing more embarrassing than having your ... more >

REVIEW: Death Marked by Leah Cypess

JiaB- Reviewsassassins / Fantasy / Harper-Teen / mages / Young-Adult4 Comments

Dear Ms. Cypess, Last year, I read your novel, Death Sworn, which took some well-known fantasy tropes — assassins, mages, secret alliances, and a protagonist on a suicide mission — and put an interesting, young adult spin on them.

REVIEW: Desire Untamed: A Feral Warriors Novel by Pamela Palmer

JaneC Reviews Category / C- Reviewsbetrayal / brothers / mages / shapeshifters / Witches22 Comments

Dear Ms. Palmer I admit that I read this because I had heard, early on, that this book had similarities to the JR Ward brotherhood series. I can’t help but think that pre publicity buzz was intentional. Ward’s Brotherhood series is hot, hot, hot, and anything that sounds like/looks like ... more >

REVIEW: Darkborn by Alison Sinclair

JiaB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviewsblind / Fantasy Romance / kidnapping / Love-Triangle / mages21 Comments

Dear Ms. Sinclair. I first heard of your novel when someone posted the cover on their blog.   And speaking for myself, I can safely say the cover did its job.   It caught my interest, stuck the title and your name in mind, and when I got the chance to review ... more >
