Hammered (The Iron Druid Chronicles #3) by Kevin Hearne

Posted: Sep 5, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
Hammered once again delivers the action-packed excitement we've come to expect from The Iron Druid Chronicles, albeit with a hiccup or two.

The Fires Beneath the Sea (Sykes Children #1) by Lydia Millet

Posted: Aug 16, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
A great environmental fantasy for its intended middle-grade readers, The Fires Beneath the Sea may still leave those familiar with the genre wanting more.

The Killing Way (Arthurian Mysteries #1) by Tony Hays

Posted: Aug 13, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
The Killing Way is a fresh and well-researched take on Arthurian legend and characters, but suffers from clunky, overly formal prose.

Feast: Harvest of Dreams by Merrie Destefano

Posted: Aug 3, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
Feast is a confusing, mediocre urban fantasy with a romance that falls flat at the last minute.

Hexed (The Iron Druid Chronicles #2) by Kevin Hearne

Posted: Jul 27, 2011 | 4 comments | Forum Discussion
Hexed is darker yet still hilarious follow-up to Hounded in The Iron Druid Chronicles. Atticus has lost none of his charm and Oberon is still, well, Oberon. Enjoy!

Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles #1) by Kevin Hearne

Posted: Jul 8, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
If you like urban fantasy, Hounded is a must-read. Modern-day Druid, witty Irish wolfhound, sexy witches and Celtic gods? Yes, please!

The Hypnotist (Reincarnationist #3) by M.J. Rose

Posted: Jun 30, 2011 | 2 comments | Forum Discussion
The Hyponist is a genre-bending thriller by established author M. J. Rose. Although it’s third in The Reincarnationist series, The...

The Red Wolf Conspiracy (The Chathrand Voyage #1) by Robert V. S. Redick

Posted: Jun 9, 2011 | 2 comments | Forum Discussion
An enthusiastic and brilliant debut with all the elements of a great fantasy series, though unfortunately it fizzles right at the end.

The Stolen Moon of Londor (The White Shadow Saga #1) by A. P. Stephens

Posted: May 30, 2011 | 2 comments | Forum Discussion
Classic fantasy with all the old favorites–elves, dwarves, wizards, quests–but it suffers from underdeveloped characters and often stiff writing.

Blood of the Maple (Maggie’s Grove #1) by Dana Marie Bell

Posted: May 24, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
Blood of the Maple offers great sex scenes and a lot of laughs. It’s a sexy contemporary fantasy that doesn’t aspire to great literature whatsoever.

Black Sun Rising (Coldfire #1) by C.S. Friedman

Posted: May 19, 2011 | 2 comments | Forum Discussion
The first in C. S. Friedman’s Coldfire Trilogy, this book’s premise alone makes it worth reading, despite flat characters and a slow pace.

Hidden Cities (Moshui #3) by Daniel Fox

Posted: May 16, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
Hidden Cities is the final installment in Daniel Fox’s Moshui trilogy. The first book, Dragon in Chains, and the second, Jade...

The Choir Boats (Longing for Yount #1) by Daniel A. Rabuzzi

Posted: May 12, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
According to our reviewer, this is 2009’s most underrated young-adult fantasy. Eccentric, intelligent, funny, and magical – a total winner.

The Ale Boy’s Feast (The Auralia Thread #4) by Jeffrey Overstreet

Posted: May 5, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
Although The Ale Boy’s Feast doesn’t redeem the series’ flaws, it is worth picking up for its thoughtful complexities and positive message.

Raven’s Ladder (The Auralia Thread #3) by Jeffrey Overstreet

Posted: May 2, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
Raven's Ladder excels its predecessors in every way, though the religious message strengthens and, in one character’s case, falters.

Cyndere’s Midnight (The Auralia Thread #2) by Jeffrey Overstreet

Posted: Apr 28, 2011 | No comments | Forum Discussion
Cyndere's Midnight unfortunately takes us away from the characters we know and love, but it promises great things for the third book in the series.
