• The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson is a novel twist/sequel based on his claim to fame (at least to me it was), the Mistborn trilogy series. I’ve just finished writing the review for Elantris a few days ago and I said that it seems it impossible for the author to disappoint me. Well, I…

  • 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…

  • Blood Ties by Lori G. Armstrong is the first in her Julie Collins detective series and its a damn good one! Rounding out at about just 373 pages, I found myself deeply engaged in the book and surprisingly, it’s not due to the mystery plot line! The character of Julie Collins is very interesting and…

  • 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…

  • The Black Ice by Michael Connelly is the second book in the Harry Bosch series. After being blown away with the introduction of cop detective Harry Bosch in The Black Echo, I just can’t help but feel that the author is experiencing the “sophomore slump”. The story in The Black Ice screams mediocre and it…

  • While We’re Far Apart by Lynn Austin will definitely be considered as a boring book by many who judge a book only after reading a couple of chapters but for those who actually invest their time and energy to it, they will find it all worthwhile in the end. This book is emotional and will…

  • 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…

  • Dragons of a Lost Star is the second book in the War of the Souls trilogy set within the Dragonlance world. Initially, I didn’t want to get right into the second book after just having read the first, Dragons of a Fallen Sun, but I was too lazy to search for a new book so…

  • It’s been a long while since I’ve last touched a Dragonlance novel. When I first learned of this magical fantasy world, I was surprised at how many books there were in the series. As with many other people, I tried to find the best way to read the series in the manner that made the…

  • 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…
