This whimsical novella was just what I needed to sate my thirst for more Stormlight until November.
Edgedancer
Senlin Ascends
This is the sort of fantasy that I would like to see rise to the top of the genre. It isn’t violent or raunchy, and it could easily be enjoyed by someone who doesn’t normally read fantasy. And most of all, it provides the reader with rich escapism.
The Road to Character
What makes someone a good person? Being a hero? Following passions? These might be qualifications in the eyes of most, but not in the eyes of David Brooks.
The Alchemist
Sometimes fiction stays in its pages and only comes to life when it’s read. But some fiction spreads like wildfire, well beyond the pages it’s told on and into the hearts and minds of millions.
You Shall Know Our Velocity!
You Shall Know Our Velocity! drew me in from the start with its numerous questions—What happened to Will’s face? Where did Will get this money? Why does he want to get rid of it?—and leaves me with just as many by the end.
My Brilliant Friend
This well-written book about two friends in Naples underestimates the depth of its own characters.
The Story of My Teeth
“I’m the best auctioneer in the world, but no one knows it because I’m a different sort of man. My name is Gustavo Sanchez Sanchez, though people call me Highway, I believe with affection.”
The Farthest Shore
The Farthest Shore continues to prove that Le Guin is a master not just of fantasy but of writing itself.
Leviathan
As I’ve noted on other reviews, I’m a Scott Westerfeld fan. His writing is dramatic, but not overly ornate. His plots are never drawn out and I know I’m always in for an adventure when I pick up a Westerfeld book. Leviathan was no different.
Heir of Novron (Riyria Revelations 5 & 6 double review)
Opening the final book in a series you’ve loved dearly is never an easy thing to do. I was on the one hand so excited to read the conclusion to Riyria Revelations but on the other so reluctant to say goodbye to these wonderful characters.
