Story4.5 out of 5 stars 330
Airborne mage armies traverse enemy territory in utter secrecy. Vast city-liches conspire to influence events from afar, while city-states and archmages unleash strange new magics in a rapidly accelerating magical arms race. Nations and great powers that have remained quiescent for years have begun reaching out into the growing power vacuum. Magical superweapons and giant monsters are wielded by every side in a deadly tangle of alliances and factions, as each squabbling force spirals in towards their inevitable final conflict.

Long drawn out battle with little to no story.
Reviewed: 09-05-24
Feltlike a poorly written DBZ battle scene with unimaginative and convoluted twists. Through most of the book I was waiting for something interesting to happen other than a never ending battle.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

One of the worst in the series.

Filler and fluff, feels like a prequel that just drags interspersed with seemingly random and short action scenes.

Mage Errant: Publisher's Pack contains books one and two of the Mage Errant series: Into the Labyrinth and Jewel of the Endless Erg. Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively.

LGBT Harry Potter
Reviewed: 05-10-23
The main character is an awkward autistic male with more competent friends. Incompetent adults somehow get saved by miracle children. All the leaders are female or LGBT. It has some pretty cringe humor and on the nose jokes. If you want an anti-straight male fantasy, this book is great. If you aren't interested in drowning in new-age propaganda, it's probably best to move on.

Filler story, not great.

Struggled to keep paying attention through predictable characters and mediocre plot. Adds a bit of world building to Spellmonger but wasn't really worth it.

The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.

Too many characters and Too much going on for much story. Didn't particularly like any of the characters either.

Armed only with a frying pan and her common sense, Tiffany Aching, a young witch-to-be, is all that stands between the monsters of Fairyland and the warm, green Chalk country that is her home. Forced into Fairyland to seek her kidnapped brother, Tiffany allies herself with the Chalk's local Nac Mac Feegle, aka the Wee Free Men, a clan of sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men who are as fierce as they are funny.

A Lost gem for YA

Its almost impossible now days to find a cerebral young adult novel. Most are just full of mythology and platitudes. This was very refreshing.

Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail. But when gods are involved....Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Just old peasant legends about the gods waking to walk the earth. No modern educated man believes that sort of thing. But they should....

I'm not a fan of the powder mage concept. Good writer, poor concept. Almost like a coke head trying to come up with a new kind of mage.
