I read all of Mayne's The Naturalist series and loved every one of them. Theo Cray is an awesome protagonist and his mysteries feel huge. Like the problems could take over the world. And his deductive reasoning creates some really immersive detectiving (made that word up:) and each of the four books in the series... Continue Reading →

First, I want to say that this book meant so much more to me than simple words on the page. When I started reviewing and blogging two years ago Foundryside was the first big SFF book I reviewed. I loved it and it sent me on the path to more and more fantasy reads, picking... Continue Reading →

P.T. McCordic's Heroically Challenged is a comic fantasy novel that hits on all the adventuring tropes. The recipe includes that kid who wants to get out of the small village, the nerdy wizard whose talents lend themselves to study but wants to fight, and some fun dungeoneering. Add to this some play with royal bloodlines,... Continue Reading →
