Review: “Horns” by Joe Hill

Review: “Horns” by Joe Hill

Michael Hickerson | March 9, 2010May 31, 2024

“Horns” starts with two of the most ingenious opening paragraphs I’ve read in a long while about Ignatius Perrish waking up from having spent the night before doing horrible things and getting ready to do a lot more. Also, Ig (as he’s called) has a pair of horns growing out of his head.

Review: “Magic Study” by Maria V. Snyder

Poison Study was the first book in a long time that I read in a single sitting. Magic Study is the second. It was everything I wanted from a sequel.

Review: “The Mousehunter” by Alex Milway

Review: “The Mousehunter” by Alex Milway

Darcy Low | September 5, 2010June 1, 2024 | 1 Comment

When you are out at a bookstore, what first catches your eye? The covers, right? Well that is how it is with me at least. A great cover can pull me in, or push me away from a book. And they always say, don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

That is so true I am finding out more and more, and is really true when it comes to this book. When I first saw the cover I said, “Hmmm, this might be a cute kid’s book.” I was right, but also very, very wrong. Turns out, it is a lot more here than what I thought there would be. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Review: “Love in the Time of Fridges” by Tim Scott

Review: “Love in the Time of Fridges” by Tim Scott

Lora Friedanthal | October 11, 2008July 27, 2024

When I reviewed Outrageous Fortune earlier in the year, I referred to it as absurd . . . in a good way. Absurdist science fiction. Because it wasn’t laugh out loud comedy, it wasn’t The Hitchhiker’s Guide, but it sure wasn’t taking itself too seriously either.

Review: “Coronets and Steel” by Sherwood Smith

Review: “Coronets and Steel” by Sherwood Smith

Web Genii | July 8, 2011June 6, 2024 | 3 Comments

The setup for Coronets and Steel reminds me irresistibly of Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Glenraven. Tho’ to be honest. I think this is a better book with more realistic characters. And that is saying a lot when the plot involves identical cousins, magic, kidnappings, royalty, mysterious middle European countries and much daring do and plot twists.

Review: “Haunted” by Kelley Armstrong

Review: “Haunted” by Kelley Armstrong

Joe Murphy | April 16, 2005June 3, 2024

When she was alive, you didn’t fuck with Eve Levine. A half-demon witch and master of the black arts, she didn’t exactly seek opportunities to dole out pain and death, they just presented themselves on a regular basis. An unfortunate consequence of the life she chose. But she never flinched from what she had to do. Yup, in life, Eve was the biggest badass around.

In death, not so much.

Review: “The Mirador” by Sarah Monette

Review: “The Mirador” by Sarah Monette

Lora Friedanthal | September 16, 2007June 25, 2024

The single most impressive aspect of Sarah Monette’s writing is her strong sense of voice. The stories are told in first-person with the perspective alternating between Felix and Mildmay throughout the chapters.

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.
