I enjoyed the main character's complexity and strength. A terrific dark story, really hoping it doesn't get too mushy in the next book

I really liked the way this wrapped up the ending to the trilogy. It was tense, a bit unexpected but best of all, it was snappy and not bloated.
He's found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it?
…Expertly wraps up the series with a satisfying ending. The baddies are suitably explained and our plucky band of heroes as heroic as they need to be.
I did find the multiple POV in the final showdown to be a distraction, something that didn't bother me at all in the rest of the series. But I really liked how all of the characters polt lines were resolved, very satisfying.
The whole trilogy was great with adventure, intrigue and imagination to spare.

Very ambitious and maybe doesn't hit the heights it was going for. One of those rare books with multiple story lines and characters that is not annoying or disjointed. A really imaginative story I enjoyed reading

I loved this gentle heartwarming story of a badass mercenary orc hanging up her sword and opening a coffee shop. There's plenty of great drama and characters and it's wonderfully written.
There's no big adventures or fighting or conspiracy but I love it for what it delivers. Similar vibe to The Goblin Emperor.

The story follows a Chinese boy pulled from his home and trained in the magic of translation to power silver ingots. As he matures, he questions his role in supporting the colonism that wrenched him from his home land.
It's well written, interesting and thought provoking read. It's not an escapist fantasy, and parts of it go into the day-to-day life of a scholar a bit too much for my taste. I enjoyed it but wouldn't recommend if you like your fantasy full of daring exploits and wizardly magic.

A worthy follow up to Shards of Earth
A great read. It's not big on the science but the plot and characters are fantastic. The action scenes are well handled. There are some times the pacing seems a bit slow and people just sit around waiting for the next event to occur, but besides that thoroughly enjoyed.

A woman gets tangled up in a murder and with the suspect's lives. The first Nicci French book where the police aren't incompetent. Very well written, creepy and compelling writing.

Beautifully and compelling written adventure with so many highs and lows, daring escapes and ripping yarns. The magisterium sub-plot is a bit dull and there's a bit of hand waving to make the plot keep moving, but still very excellent.

Another East Texas gothic crime story. Set in the 50s, things start out slow then spiral into violence, murder and horror. It's all told in Lansdale's usual understated but vivid prose.

Another ripper from Joe Lansdale. Texas gothic crime meets small town corruption with the usual collection of psychos and deranged characters
