Ugh, the cover does not do B&W wellTitle: Kiya: Hope of the PharaohAuthor: Katie HamsteadRating: 4/5Firstly, I'd like to state I am crazy about Ancient Egypt. More precisely, the mythology before this period (Atenism seems so bland next to the customary religion of that time). Let's just say that, while I enjoyed the story later … Continue reading Review of Kiya: Hope of the Pharaoh by Katie Hamstead

Review of Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
Title: Monstrous RegimentAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 4/5Set in the strange world of Borogravia where living is practically an abomination, this tells the tale of Polly Perks as she disguises herself as young Oliver (socks and all) to get into the army to find her brother. Simple, right? Pfft, I should know better than to expect that … Continue reading Review of Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
Review of The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett
Title: The Last ContinentAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 4/5Rincewind and the wizards of Unseen University share this weird tale, one having to deal with a kangaroo that’s sometimes not a kangaroo, the others a bug-obsessed god (blame him for cockroaches).While the Last Continent, known as XXXX, is a land that has never ever seen rain (or water-filled … Continue reading Review of The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett
Review of Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett
Title: Feet of ClayAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 4/5Heraldry, Clay and Murders abound in this story. Trust me, they’re all connected.The golems were an interesting bunch, certainly when it comes to Dolhf, and I love the transformation Cheery went through over the course of the story.Of course, with murders come clues and they were ... well, to … Continue reading Review of Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett
Review of Moving Pictures
Title: Moving PicturesAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 4/5Once again the Discworld has me giggling. Darn near chronically. This time, it’s Holy Wood and all the references to various films. Especially when it’s just plain wrong (have you followed a “yellow sick toad” lately? Or perhaps you’ve a desire to be “a lawn”?).There’s a lot of things going … Continue reading Review of Moving Pictures
Review of Eric
Title: Faust EricAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 4/5Powered through this one in three days. As ever, the Discworld characters are a hoot to read about and this had me giggling through much of the story for one reason or the other.Good to see Rincewind is finally out of the Dungeon Dimensions again, though what he’s been dragged into … Continue reading Review of Eric
Review of The Eyes of the Dragon
Title: The Eyes of the DragonAuthor: Stephen KingRating: 4/5I had never read a Stephen king book before this. But that is more to do with my preferred genre than his writing as I loved the way this was written. The imagery was delightful and the characters, especially the evil Flagg, were wel done.The story did feel a little unfinished … Continue reading Review of The Eyes of the Dragon
Reviews of Crystal Gorge
Title: Crystal GorgeAuthor: David EddingsRating: 4/5With the expulsion of the newest set of bad guys, all I really looked forward to was the additon of cavalry, something that had been lacking from the diverse troops used so far. A good book to begin with, though the introduction of a new, more powerful god (hinted at … Continue reading Reviews of Crystal Gorge
Review of The Teasured One
Title: The Treasured OnesAuthor: David EddingsRating: 4/5The introduction to more characters and an additional set of bad guys - still the same bugs, but of a different type - keeps the conflict from getting stale. A different area to guard also adds more variety to the battles, especially the end one. Not quite as good as the first, … Continue reading Review of The Teasured One
