Tinker (Baen Fantasy) 56 reviews

Tinker Is Good On Many Levels
+ Fun story set in very nifty new world
I finished reading Tinker relatively quickly for a non-romance. I guess I finished it in about 10 days but I also read a few books at the same time. I guess romantic books get read quicker because of the pull of the romantic relationship. Having said that, maybe that is why I finished this quickly. ...

Robin McKinley
Jove, 2004
Somewhat difficult to wade through, however....
I liked it.
The vampires are revolting. The violence is grisly and gruesome. The heroine is no Mary Sue.
To start out, Robin McKinley's book "Beauty" is my second favorite book in the world. I tried reading "Deerskin," but I only made it halfway (readers of that book can probably ...

Wonderful
+ A fascinating fantasy
+ enjoyable
This is a wonderfully written book that has beautifully portrayed characters. Its presentation of homosexual love is sensitive and not mocking (people in this universe do not care about sexual orientation - the people are bisexual). It has a fine mix of humor with seriousness. This book can be ...

The fantasy world created within these pages is filled with it's own political battles for power, familial ties and a love that tries to transcend time. In this world, women have the final say, and the men that love ...

Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls10 reviews
Jane Lindskold
Orb Books, 2006
Weirdly beautiful, strangely compelling
+ Yay! Search over!
The sheer creativity of this book just blows my mind. It dances around genre, at turns resembling science fiction, fantasy, and cyberpunk, and ultimately transcends them all. The idea of a gang of streetkids - thieves, thugs and prostitutes - who draw their pride and identity from Kipling's ...
