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: “The Magicians and Mrs. Quent” by Galen Beckett

Review: “The Magicians and Mrs. Quent” by Galen Beckett

Lora Friedanthal | February 5, 2009June 19, 2024

I began reading this book with a question of my own: would infusing magic into a novel of manners produce a book that I would enjoy reading? Because in all honesty, although I have read Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, I didn’t enjoy either.

Review: “Star Trek: Inception”

Review: “Star Trek: Inception”

Michael Hickerson | February 13, 2010June 8, 2024

In many ways, the concept behind “Inception” is an interesting one, but as I read the novel I kept thinking it might have worked better as a short story.

Guest Review: “The Princes of the Golden Cage” by Nathalie Mallet

Guest Review: “The Princes of the Golden Cage” by Nathalie Mallet

Lynda Williams | January 20, 2008June 4, 2024

The Princes of the Golden Cage is a rewarding read for anyone with a taste for historically based fantasy, a supernatural mystery or just a fondness for charmingly flawed, heroic characters struggling to find their way in life. It is suitable for readers of any age sophisticated enough to understand the historical setting and young enough at heart to enjoy evil genies and a bit of sword play.

Review: “The Awakened Mage” by Karen Miller

Review: “The Awakened Mage” by Karen Miller

Lora Friedanthal | March 12, 2008June 7, 2024 | 1 Comment

Okay, okay, so Asher really is the Innocent Mage. No devastating, unexpected twists, despite the possibility. But just because Asher is the mage of prophecy, the Olken who can wield his own magic as well as Doranen magic, does not mean he has to like it. And it does not mean that he has to answer the call that prophecy has made.

Review: “Horizons” by Mary Rosenblum

Review: “Horizons” by Mary Rosenblum

Brian Brown | May 9, 2007August 10, 2024

This story, at its roots, is about change. Politics, humankind’s place in space and how people who inhabit space are changing. The orbitals want autonomy, the government of Earth wants to maintain control and some want the destruction of both. I recommend picking this book up and enjoying the story contained.

Review: “Doctor Sleep” by Stephen King

Review: “Doctor Sleep” by Stephen King

Michael Hickerson | October 31, 2013June 3, 2024

When I heard that Stephen King was writing a sequel to what I consider one of his best novels The Shining, I was both eager and hesitant to pick it up. Part of me was eager to see where King would take the characters from the world of the Overlook Hotel in the sequel and hesitant because of the track record of other authors with “long awaited” sequels.

Review: “Reiffen’s Choice” by S. C. Butler

Review: “Reiffen’s Choice” by S. C. Butler

Tim Adamec | December 29, 2006June 6, 2024 | 1 Comment

I really enjoyed the writing style. While the book is targeted for the young adult, descriptions and dialogue do not blatantly point it out. Readers who enjoy writers like Raymond E. Feist and J. K. Rowling will not be disappointed by Reiffen’s Choice.
