The Last Battle: Dragonmaster, Book Three (Dragonmaster Trilogy) 2 reviews Chris Bunch
Roc, 2008
As exciting as a last battle can be
+ great Military strategy
As I liked the previous installations of this series I like this one. It feels both exciting and realistic to me, which is rare. It has a different tone than the previous books because the machinery of war and politics isn't there (much). There is none of the sense of a nearly inevitable horror, ...

Great story!

WOW! Anne McCaffrey is an amazing author, and she doesn't disappoint in her start to the Pern Series. What a great book! Interesting characters, and you really felt the hardships of the colonists when the thread started to fall. Two thumbs way up!

Black Powder War (Temeraire, Book 3) 50 reviews Naomi Novik
Del Rey, 2006
I'd like our world better if there were dragons.
+ Adventure and characters
The third book in the Temeraire series was better than the second but still not quite as enjoyable as the first; I think it's a natural progression, since the first book is fun because it is nice and uncomplicated, like Temeraire himself, and the subsequent books naturally get much more complicated ...

Legacy (The Sharing Knife, Book 2) 6 reviews Lois McMaster Bujold
Eos, 2008
The Need for Sharing
+ Very much worthwhile
A seamless continuation of the first volume of The Sharing Knife, Book 2 [Legacy] focuses on the rejection of Fawn by her new in-laws. The rejection foregrounds the cultural divisions between the Lakewalkers, with their special abilities, and the Farmers, meaning the rest of humanity. Bridging the ...

Shadows Of Myth 10 reviews Rachel Lee
Luna, 2005
Intriguing, even upon a second reading
+ Great fun - a good read for summer + pale mimicry of LOTR
This was a different type of book than what I normally expect from Rachel Lee. Different... and yet I enjoyed it. A woman awakens to find a caravan slaughtered around her and no memory of who she is or where she came from. She is rescued by Archer Blackcoat and two Anari men, Giri and Ratha, who ...
