Incubus Dreams (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Book 12) 753 reviews Laurell K. Hamilton
Jove, 2005
(3.5 stars) A bit much, but still deserves a tip of the hat
This one was good, but not as good as the other books in the series so far. I liked the new development of the second triumvirate with Nathaniel and Damian (Though I admit I got annoyed that the publishers misspelled the word "triumvirate" throughout; you'd think that they'd put a little time and ...

Tess of the D'Urbervilles (Norton Critical Editions) 7 reviews Thomas Hardy
W. W. Norton, 1990
Not quite queen of the world.
+ Haunting... + The incredible strength of one woman
Morality is subject to some rolling blackouts in this book. At the end, the law stepped in and made sure that the destruction was mutual. Law seems to be particularly inept in situations where a book is this hard on the reader, and those critics in the Norton Critical Edition who consider this ...

Holder of Lightning (The Cloudmages, Book 1) 20 reviews S. L. Farrell
DAW, 2004
great Celtic fantasy!
+ Not too bad
A good Celtic fantasy has pride, tragedy, fighting, honor, and humanity in it. This series is no exception to the rule.
There are gems that have a certain power (Cloch Mors have a greater power while the clochmions have a lesser power) that need to be recharged in "mage lights" which makes me ...
