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.

Review: “The Battle for Azeroth: Adventure, Alliance and Addiction”

Review: “The Battle for Azeroth: Adventure, Alliance and Addiction”

Tim Adamec | December 17, 2006June 21, 2024

Touted as a book of “Insights into the World of Warcraft“, The Battle for Azeroth: Adventure, Alliance and Addiction is more of a class guide and compendium of essays about the different aspects of Blizzard Entertainment’s smash hit game. Players and non-playing family and friends will likely find something of interest in this book.

Review: “Platinum Pohl: The Collected Best Stories”

Review: “Platinum Pohl: The Collected Best Stories”

David Moldawer | December 12, 2005June 3, 2024

I’d never read Pohl before dipping into Platinum Pohl, but now I find myself eager to expand my Pohl-ian horizons. This is Grand Master science fiction at its finest. Each one of the stories in here is a gem, a well-crafted little machine.

Review: “Swimming Without a Net” by MaryJanice Davidson

Review: “Swimming Without a Net” by MaryJanice Davidson

Lora Friedanthal | February 21, 2008May 29, 2024

My initial attraction to this book was simply this: human male and mermaid female? How is that going to work? From a biological perspective, you see. Not just the scales, but, you know. How?

Review: “The Strain” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan

Review: “The Strain” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan

Michael Hickerson | June 17, 2009June 24, 2024

Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan originally conceived “The Strain” as a serialized television series for the Fox network. After Fox execs balked at the original vision, insisting the writers inject more humor into the storyline of a modern-day vampire apocolypse, del Toro and Hogan decided to take their toys and go home. Rather than create a movie version of this modern day retelling of “Dracula,” the two decided to go literary.

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: “Tinker” by Wen Spencer

Review: “Tinker” by Wen Spencer

Tee Morris | January 21, 2004June 18, 2024

If heavily armed elves, a demonic conspiracy, and a girl genius doesn’t sound like a wild enough ride, how about Pittsburgh being the epicenter of a dimensional rift. Welcome to Wen Spencer’s Tinker, a book that is an adventure worth every page!

Review: “Green” by Jay Lake

Review: “Green” by Jay Lake

Lora Friedanthal | November 6, 2009June 1, 2024

Jay Lake is best known for his steampunk series of novels, and yet by weird coincidence (for I am a steampunk myself), the first book of his that I’ve read is Green, which is a standalone fantasy. I cannot judge how this novel ranks against those others.

Green seems to me to be very much a blending of two books: Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel’s Dart and Karen Miller’s Empress.
