Review: “Under the Dome” by Stephen King

Review: “Under the Dome” by Stephen King

Michael Hickerson | February 13, 2010June 4, 2024

If you’re not careful Stephen King’s latest tome may hurt you. Weighing it at close to 1100 pages and almost four pounds, “Under the Dome” is a return to form for one of the best-selling authors of the past thirty years.

Review: “Peace & Memory” by Mark W. Tiedemann

Review: “Peace & Memory” by Mark W. Tiedemann

Joe Murphy | July 21, 2003June 30, 2024

What does Mark W. Tiedemann’s Peace and Memory offer? It has an interesting, well thought out universe, a bizarre and entertaining ensemble of characters, thought provoking dialogue on social and political issues, action, adventure, twists, turns, irony, and a hair raising finale.

Which is why, for the life of me, I can’t understand why I didn’t like it more.

Review: “Medalon” by Jennifer Fallon

Review: “Medalon” by Jennifer Fallon

Summer Brooks | February 5, 2005May 30, 2024

The first three books in the Hythrun Chronicles were actually known in Australia as The Demon Child Trilogy, and were bestsellers as well as finalists in Australia’s Aurealis Awards back in 2000. Here in the US, that trilogy is being combined with the books known as The Hythrun Chronicles Down Under to make it a 6-book series here.

Guest Review: “The Traveler” by John Twelve Hawks

Guest Review: “The Traveler” by John Twelve Hawks

E Terra | March 7, 2006June 2, 2024 | 1 Comment

The first words that come to mind are speechless and breathtaking. I lose all sense of almost any vocabulary when trying to define the experience while reading The Traveler. The imagery and realism with which Hawks so cunningly captures in his words are profound and exhilarating.

Review: “Troubled Waters” by Sharon Shinn

Review: “Troubled Waters” by Sharon Shinn

Web Genii | January 14, 2011June 3, 2024

I plunged right into Troubled Waters and when I finished it, I started all over again and re-read it once more. I often re-read a book for reviews, but seldom back to back. Troubled Waters was just that good.

Sharon Shinn’s books are  always very enjoyable, readable romantic fantasies. But I think that Troubled Waters marks a new development for her.

Review: “No Dominion” by Charlie Huston

Review: “No Dominion” by Charlie Huston

Tim Adamec | January 4, 2007June 1, 2024 | 4 Comments

The book is marvelously written and very heavy on dialogue and vivid, yet dark, descriptions. Twists and turns abound, unfolding the story at a steady pace. It is also written as a first-person, present tense story, a style that I usually find jarring and unbelievable.

Review: “The Republic of Thieves” by Scott Lynch

Review: “The Republic of Thieves” by Scott Lynch

Michael Hickerson | December 2, 2013June 8, 2024

After years of anticipation and speculation, Lynch returns to the universe of his “Gentlemen Bastards” with the long-awaited third installment, The Republic of Thieves.

Was it worth the wait?

Absolutely.

Review: “The Innocent Mage” by Karen Miller

Review: “The Innocent Mage” by Karen Miller

Lora Friedanthal | March 8, 2008June 7, 2024

The quick summary to The Innocent Mage sounds shockingly cookie-cutter. A farmer fisherman of low birth, from a rural part of Middle Earth the kingdom of Lur has a destiny. And his destiny is to save the kingdom and all its inhabitants from the Great and Looming Evil that no one knows is coming, save a chosen few who have seen the signs. How this is going to happen no one, least of all the hero, has any idea.
