Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After (2011) John Klima Not sure how I missed this when I first came out, but this anthology is full of things I love: authors whose books I love, stories based on folk and fairy tales–lovely! The only thing I didn’t like, is I wish the anthology hadn’t ended on such a dark […]

Cast in Chaos

Cast in Chaos (2010) Michelle Sagara I have a complicated relationship with this series. I cannot decide how I feel about the series, but I also can’t seem to stop reading it. This is the sixth book in Michelle Sagara West’s Cast series. Kaylin is still working with the Hawks and still in a complex […]

Cast in Silence

Cast in Silence (2009) Michelle Sagara Cast in Silence continues the story of Kaylin Neya, Private in the Hawk force, marked by Nightshade, and possessed of magical powers she has yet to learn to control.

Cast in Courtlight (2006) Michelle Sagara The sequel to Cast in Shadow, Cast in Courtlight continues the story of Kaylin Neya, Ground Hawk of the Halls of Law, marked by unknown magics, and still lacking control of her magics or her temper. This is a fine sequel to Cast in Shadow, and although there remain […]

Hunter’s Oath

Hunter’s Oath (1995) Michelle West I had a strange time reading this story. I liked the characters, I enjoyed the story, I loved the writing, I wanted to know what happened. But I wanted to finish it so I could read something else. I just wasn’t in the mood for this story. Gilliam and Stephen […]

Cast in Shadow

Cast in Shadow (2005) Michelle Sagara I picked up this book for several reasons. First, because I’ve been impressed with the Luna books I’ve read. Second, because I have read several short stories written by Michelle Sagara West, and very much liked them. I put off reading this book because of the cover. Not that […]
