Review: “Star Wars: Crosscurrent” by Paul S. Kemp

Review: “Star Wars: Crosscurrent” by Paul S. Kemp

Tia Bowman | January 12, 2011June 25, 2024

Crosscurrent is smartly written, with a timeline just jumpy enough to keep you intrigued, and a cast of characters that make you care what happens to them.

Review: “Bitten” by K. L. Nappier

Review: “Bitten” by K. L. Nappier

Lora Friedanthal | September 11, 2007June 14, 2024

I am not familiar with Nappier’s previous work, so the Beast mythos was new to me. And I found myself reading on so that I could understand the rules involved in her take on the werewolf legends. Hunters David and Max had managed, within the first chapter, to bring an “incarnation” of the Beast. Usually, one stops once the werewolf is dead. But not in this universe.

Review: “The Devil You Know” by Mike Carey

Review: “The Devil You Know” by Mike Carey

Brian Brown | June 27, 2007June 8, 2024

This is a great read. It starts as a slow meandering walk but eventually becomes a frantic run towards the finish line. The twists and turns kept me guessing, I had some of the pieces of the puzzle but there were a lot that didn’t fall into place until the last few chapters. I loved how even the smaller characters had a depth to them.

Review: “Letters From the Flesh” by Marcos Donnelly

Review: “Letters From the Flesh” by Marcos Donnelly

Joe Murphy | April 26, 2004May 31, 2024

Robert J. Sawyer is one of the Dragon Page’s best friends. Besides the fact that he writes ridiculously good science fiction, he has been generous with his time and has given us several great interviews and plugs. Which is why I’m trying to rehydrate my parched lips as I type. I’m giving the first title from his new line of books a thumbs down.

Review: “The Youngest Templar: Keeper of the Grail” by Michael Spradlin

Review: “The Youngest Templar: Keeper of the Grail” by Michael Spradlin

Darcy Low | October 30, 2009June 24, 2024 | 1 Comment

The Youngest Templar: Keeper of the Grail is one of those books I picked off the shelf at random. I love books about knights and castles, and one about teens in that time period sounds cool to me. And wow, the first book I read this summer turned out to be one of the best all year!

Review: “The Mirador” by Sarah Monette

Review: “The Mirador” by Sarah Monette

Lora Friedanthal | September 16, 2007June 25, 2024

The single most impressive aspect of Sarah Monette’s writing is her strong sense of voice. The stories are told in first-person with the perspective alternating between Felix and Mildmay throughout the chapters.

Review: “The Goddess Test” by Aimée Carter

Review: “The Goddess Test” by Aimée Carter

Web Genii | July 29, 2011June 7, 2024

What I didn’t expect was to be reaching for a tissue in the first twenty pages. Ms. Carter nicely sidesteps the whole unequal romance trope by placing the emotional center of the novel in the relationship between our heroine Kate and her mother Diana. Kate’s frantic grief over her mother’s looming death drives the plot and gives more weight to the story than a YA romance would normally command.

Review: “Gaudeamus” by John Barnes

Review: “Gaudeamus” by John Barnes

E Terra | December 19, 2004June 15, 2024

When John Barnes gets a visit from his old buddy and private detective Travis Bismark, he knows two things for sure: Travis needs a ride, and he’ll get at least one new science fiction book out of it.
