Aerie: An unnecessary and disappointing sequel

Aerie by Mercedes Lackey Aerie is the fourth and final book in Mercedes Lackey’s DRAGON JOUSTERS series. This review will spoil some of the plot for the previous three books, Joust, Alta, and Sanctuary, so it’d be best to not read further in this review if you haven’t read those books yet.

Hex and the City: Nightside is terrific on audio

Hex and the City by Simon R. Green Hex and the City is the fourth novel in Simon R. Green’s NIGHTSIDE series.

The Ring of Solomon by Jonathan Stroud Fans of Jonathan Stroud’s fantastic Bartimaeus Trilogy, which began with The Amulet of Samarkand and ended with Ptolemy’s Gate, will be happy to know that the title character — the wise-cracking fourth-level djinn who has long-standing issues with authority — is back and funny as ever in The […]

Alector’s Choice: Shampoo-rinse-repeat

Alector’s Choice by L.E. Modesitt Jr There’s no longer any doubt — Modesitt has fallen into the “shampoo” mode of series writing: rinse-shampoo-repeat. Alector’s Choice, while not a bad book if read on its own (which it can be), is, for fans or former fans of Modesitt’s other work, merely a rehash of the same old […]
