Part I can be found here. The Shadow Rising (3.5 stars) I’m going to start off with a plot summary, but I’m doing that for a reason. So, if you don’t want spoilers – skip the next few paragraphs. At the end of The Dragon Reborn, Rand took the sword Callandor from the Stone of Tear (thus continuing the allusions to King Arthur), which further cemented his place within the prophecies as the Dragon Reborn. And that’s where we pick up here, in The Shadow […]

Maybe the Le Guin one someday, if I read more of the Earthsea novels, and likewise King’s if I read the Dark Tower novels, but I […]

Objectively for me (which I realize is a contradictory statement), this is a three star book. It has some major problems. But . . . I just can’t resist the siren call of an immersive fantasy world, and unlike the first book in the series, which failed to capture my imagination, this one did. So I’m giving it the fourth star, for the potential I see in the series, and for giving me that good old fantasy world buzz. First, the good stuff, the most […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
