Guest Review: “The Traveler” by John Twelve Hawks

Guest Review: “The Traveler” by John Twelve Hawks

E Terra | March 7, 2006June 2, 2024 | 1 Comment

The first words that come to mind are speechless and breathtaking. I lose all sense of almost any vocabulary when trying to define the experience while reading The Traveler. The imagery and realism with which Hawks so cunningly captures in his words are profound and exhilarating.

Review: “Five Seasons of Angel”

Review: “Five Seasons of Angel”

Summer Brooks | November 17, 2004May 31, 2024

You know that a pop culture staple has gone far beyond the normal range of fandom and reached saturation when serious academic studies relating to the psychology, philosophy, and morality of show and of its characters are being published.

To my knowledge, only Buffy the Vampire Slayer (with two academic conferences dedicated to it so far) and Godzilla fall into that category, but Buffy’s spinoff, Angel, should be right beside them.

Review: “Debris” by Jo Anderton

Review: “Debris” by Jo Anderton

Laith Preston | November 22, 2011June 7, 2024 | 4 Comments

Jo Anderton’s debut novel is a compelling tale which pulls you in right from the start. Debris is told from the point of view of the protagonist Tanyana, and as the story progresses she searches for the truth behind her change of circumstances and meets a number of interesting characters along the way.

Review: “Lord of the Changing Winds” by Rachel Neumeier

Review: “Lord of the Changing Winds” by Rachel Neumeier

Brian Brown | July 8, 2010June 17, 2024

What is refreshing about Lord of the Changing Winds is that it presents a refreshingly new adaptation of griffin lore. When neighboring kingdom Casmantium begins to threaten their desert with ice, the Griffins are forced to flee, taking their desert with them. Griffins are so intimately bound with the element of fire, it has become their own life essence, their spirit.

Review: “Superman: The Never-Ending Battle (Justice League of America)” by Roger Stern

Review: “Superman: The Never-Ending Battle (Justice League of America)” by Roger Stern

David Moldawer | September 20, 2005June 4, 2024

This is another installment in the “Justice League of America” novelizations, this one by Roger Stern. Stern is a long-time DC writer who also did the novelization of the controversial death of Superman arc back in the early 90s, The Death and Life of Superman, a book I actually read on my own out of sheer curiosity.

Review: “Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel”

Review: “Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel”

Web Genii | April 27, 2011June 18, 2024 | 1 Comment

A steampunk-mystery-romance (it certainly spans multiple genres); Phoenix Rising is a light-hearted confection of a novel. The novel features the pairing of Eliza D Braun and Wellington Books* leading to the duo of Books and Braun.

Review: “Waking The Witch” by Kelley Armstrong

Review: “Waking The Witch” by Kelley Armstrong

Web Genii | July 31, 2010May 30, 2024

It’s difficult to keep a long running series fresh and interesting for the fans (and the author). Ms. Armstrong has achieved this in a number of ways, most obviously by changing the lead character in each book. But she also provides quality world building, well plotted mysteries and characters who grow and change in each book.

Guest Review: “Prisoners Under Glass” by R. Patrick

Guest Review: “Prisoners Under Glass” by R. Patrick

Library Dragon | July 30, 2006June 4, 2024

Young readers who love big, bold action, boisterous high jinks and bizarre images, all mixed up with a bunch of people prone to snappy dialog learning to rely on each other in life-and-death situations, will get a kick out of Prisoners Under Glass.
