Review: “Eon: Dragoneye Reborn” by Alison Goodman

Review: “Eon: Dragoneye Reborn” by Alison Goodman

Michael Hickerson | February 7, 2009May 30, 2024

“Dragoneye” is the first of a two-part story set in Goodman’s universe. Thankfully, Goodman is able to resolve enough of the storylines to keep readers satisfied and make this a complete novel, while creating a cliffhanger and situation that will leave you wanting to pick up the next installment as soon as possible and find out what happens next.

Review: “Bitten” by K. L. Nappier

Review: “Bitten” by K. L. Nappier

Lora Friedanthal | September 11, 2007June 14, 2024

I am not familiar with Nappier’s previous work, so the Beast mythos was new to me. And I found myself reading on so that I could understand the rules involved in her take on the werewolf legends. Hunters David and Max had managed, within the first chapter, to bring an “incarnation” of the Beast. Usually, one stops once the werewolf is dead. But not in this universe.

Review: “7th Sigma” by Steven Gould

Review: “7th Sigma” by Steven Gould

Web Genii | August 17, 2011May 31, 2024 | 2 Comments

I have to admit that I didn’t buy 7th Sigma because of the excerpt called “Bugs in the Arroyo” that you can find for free on the Tor website. I bought it because of Summer’s love for Steven Gould’s Jumper. I’ve never read Jumper, but Summer’s enthusiasm for Gould is contagious.

Review: “The Darkest Part of the Woods” by Ramsey Campbell

Review: “The Darkest Part of the Woods” by Ramsey Campbell

Joe Murphy | November 16, 2003June 7, 2024

Have you ever had a sore spot like an aching tooth, an ingrown toenail, or a spot on your arm where you just got a shot? You know, some place that kisses you with a sharp pain if you don’t leave well enough alone? What do you do? You touch it, squeeze it, push on it. There you go, a grown-up, intelligent human being with a toothache, and you’ll actually bite down hard. When you can’t take the pain anymore you let up and wonder at your stupidity. Then, you go and do the same thing again half an hour later.

The Darkest Part of the Woods, by Ramsey Campbell, was a toothache I wouldn’t stop biting down on. I don’t know how many times I set the book down after an hour of reading, completely bored, totally uninterested… just to pick up the book again the next day.

Review: “Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword”

Review: “Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword”

Joe Murphy | October 3, 2004June 19, 2024

Do you hear that sound? That is the sound of a thousand Sacred Cows of Fantasy being tipped in the night.

Let me share a piece of wisdom I’ve picked up being the reviewer for the Dragon Page. You simply cannot go wrong reading anything Tee Morris writes. You won’t find a better blend of action, humor, suspense, and romance anywhere else.

Review: “Red Glove” by Holly Black

Review: “Red Glove” by Holly Black

Web Genii | June 24, 2011June 22, 2024

Red Glove is promoted as a YA novel, although I’d put it more at the 18 year old to adult end of the spectrum than the 13-16 year old range. If your kids are old enough to watch the “Sopranos” or “The Riches” and they like those shows, then this is the right book. Much like those shows, Red Glove contrasts the supposed glamour of a criminal lifestyle with the pain it causes our hero. A younger reader might only see the glamour and magic and miss the misery.

Review: “Sagramanda” by Alan Dean Foster

Review: “Sagramanda” by Alan Dean Foster

Brian Brown | December 25, 2006June 7, 2024

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a techo thriller with near future sci-fi thrown in. It is a well written and enjoyable tale that is full of the flavor of India, its culture and people, from a forward looking perspective.
