This is another series that I feel I probably would have missed completely if I didn’t sign myself up as a Hugo Awards voter. And that would have been a damn shame because I’ve now discovered another awesome fantasy author. It might be odd of me to try and make this distinction, but The Black Tides of Heaven and The Red Threads of Fortune are not so much as a pair of novellas – they are too tightly entwined for that. Rather, […]
Huge case of middle book syndrome.
Project: Catch Up On Review Backlog, review #7 out of 11 This is honestly one of the worst cases of middle book syndrome I’ve ever seen. I know the first two books haven’t been everyone’s cup of tea, but I really enjoyed myself while reading them. They were fast reads with smart characters, and while utilizing some tropes, sure, Tahir also seemed to be constructing a plot using several things I’d never seen before, and that was exciting! I couldn’t really predict where she was […]
#CBR10 Bingo – So Shiny: My Plain Jane
#CBR10Bingo: So shiny This review will contain spoilers for Jane Eyre, but that book is more than 170 years old, and therefore, if you don’t know the gist of the plot already, that’s really not my fault. In this slightly alternate universe, King George III of England was not actually mad, he just saw ghosts and could talk to them (making others believe he wasn’t quite right in the head). He founded a society “for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits”, led by none other than the Duke […]
“The love of the Rabbit unto you.”
This is the third book in the series, the first being The (Sort of) Dark Mage. Waldo Corpselover, raised to be a Dark Mage, is on a quest. In order to prove himself, he must go on a quest to gain three monsters, defeat a knight in battle, and bring home a dragon or dragon’s egg. During the first book, he dons the white robes and decides to masquerade as a White Mage, the exact opposite of what he is supposed to be. So far […]

More Puns, Less Poop Please
If you like potty humor, read this. You can’t go 2 pages without poop. On rare occasion peeing or farting might be substituted. This novel is basically a parody of the Princess Bride, except that Wesley or rather Worstley (brother of Bestley) gets pancaked by an Amazonian-like warrior who really likes rose gardening named Fia. She falls on him and for once the realistic thing happens even though Worstley may be the Chosen One thanks to Staph the Pixie. But since there is magic in […]
