Tres Duendes
The Steel Remains by Richard K. Morgan
Richard Morgan does fantasy. Wait, what? Granted, it is quite the dark fantasy and follows his already established writing style, but make no mistake, this is fantasy to the core and just the first entry in the trilogy he is slated to write.
So how is it? Pretty good. An interesting story line full of moral dilemmas, liberally doused with action sequences. If you like his sci-fi works, you’ll probably enjoy this one as well.
4/5 gogs
City without End by Kay Kenyon
Book three of Kenyon’s Entire and the Rose quartet. The story rolls on and characters begin to get knocked off. Another decent read that builds things into what I hope is an exciting conclusion in book four.
3.8/5 gogs
Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson
Man, there is a lot going on in Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Sure, he breaks things up into more manageable pieces, but after just the third book in this series, I’m thinking I’ll need to reread everything in its entirety to put all the subplots together. Still, he keeps things interesting with believable characters a complex storyline. He also throws in some humor at times for good measure although there are, again, some grim parts in this installment.
3.8/5 gogs
