8/10 - Review to appear on Fantasy Book Review shortly. "Virtuality is the new reality" Within my online social circles, I have heard many amazing things about the writer Michael R. Fletcher. My peers were so influential that I decided to check out one of his books and I chose this one because of the...

Guest Review of ~ Steven Erikson – Gardens Of The Moon (Malazan Book Of The Fallen #1)

9.5/10 - Review by Holden R Johnson (The Red Heir) “Convergence,” Tool said. “Power ever draws other power.” Why have I waited so long to read this? There will be spoilers in the section that discusses characters - so please tread lightly! Gardens of the Moon, The first entry in the Malazan Book of the...

Review of ~ Joe Abercrombie – Before They Are Hanged (The First Law #2)

8.5/10 "We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged" - Heinrich Heine Before They Are Hanged is Abercrombie's second entry into the twisted and grim world of The First Law. It follows on from the three story arcs that The Blade itself stylishly led towards. Bayaz, the first of the Magi is...

Guest Review of ~ Robert Jordan – The Eye Of The World (Wheel of Time #1)

8.5/10 "The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills" The Eye of the World, the first epic fantasy book in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, provided me with exactly the kind of experience I expected from it. 1. An old school fantasy feel. 2. Lots of intense descriptions of every small detail that...

Review of ~ Joe Abercrombie – The Blade Itself (The First Law #1)

8/10 I was up until half five yesterday morning reading intensely to finish off this story. I didn't write the review then as it would have been a tired, mumbled mess with little to no eloquence and it wouldn't have included any cool sounding words. Let's see how I get on now after a good...

Review of ~ James Patterson – Kiss The Girls (Alex Cross #2)

9/10 I received an ARC of Kiss the Girls via NetGalley and I would like to thank James Patterson, Random House UK, Cornerstone and Arrow. Although this is a well-known classic thriller, first released in 1995, a new version with that strikingly awesome cover is being published on 29 June 2017. Kiss the Girls is...

8/10 To begin, I would like to Adrian G. Hilder and Camdaw for sending me a copy of The General's Legacy, Part 1: Inheritance in exchange for an honest review. This is the excellent and highly polished first part of Hilder's debut outing. Part 2: Whiteland King will complete The General's Legacy when it is...

Review of ~ Mark Lawrence – The Wheel Of Osheim (The Red Queen’s War #3)

9.5/10 By all means, check out my reviews of book #1 and #2. This is just a quick review as I do not wish to spoil anything critical to this story or repeat my previous reviews. The Wheel of Osheim was the only book I could have possibly read next following on from the ultimate...

Review of ~ Mark Lawrence – The Liar’s Key (The Red Queen’s War #2)

8.5/10 This review contains minor spoilers. The Liar's Key is the second book in Lawrence's The Red Queen's War trilogy. I adored Prince of Fools which followed Jalan's escapades across The Broken Empire and therefore picked up this book as soon as I could. The survivors from the quest to the Black Fort are Jalan,...

Review of ~ James Patterson – Jack and Jill (Alex Cross #3)

8.5/10 "Jack and Jill" is the third story in Patterson's gripping novels about police detective and psychologist, Dr. Alex Cross. Here, we see Alex working on two of the most complex homicide cases of his already glittering career. Involving perhaps four or more different killers. Like the majority of the cases that Dr. Cross is...
