  • Elantris by Brandon Sanderson is the sixth fantasy book I’ve read from this author and never once has he disappointed me. Well, he’s not about to start with Elantris. This guy just has a gift to create beautiful fantasy worlds but not only that, he knows how to tell a damn good story to go…

  • Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay is a stand-alone fantasy book that tells the tale of a group of characters trying to dethrone two separate tyrants who have taken over their land. It’s a very engrossing story and not really suitable for readers who expect a lot of action in a book. It is however written…

  • After trudging through both books in the trilogy, I had no choice but to continue on with the War of the Souls trilogy. Dragons of a Vanished Moon is the last book in the series. For some reason, while reading this book, I now realize it for what it is: this series is not as…

  • The Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb is the first of the Farseer fantasy trilogy and boy is it a disappointment. This book is so pathetic that I didn’t have the stomach to complete the entire book. I’ve debated for a short while on whether I should post a review on a book that I haven’t…

  • The Desert Spear is Peter Brett’s followup to The Painted Man. Folks, there’s no sophomore jinx here of any kind. In fact, I find The Desert Spear to be even more awesome than The Painted Man in every way possible. Characters feel much more fleshed out and the story feels much more engaging, although this…
