While entertaining, Kelley Armstrong’s DECEPTIONS suffers from a lack of plot and several extremely aggravating moments. Thankfully Liv and company remain characters worth rooting for, and the series hasn’t lost its potential.
This week’s topic is MAJOR DISCOVERIES:
While often the people of Fantasyland seem stuck in a time warp occasionally a major discovery can shock the land into changes. Be they new lands, new peoples or new technologies fantasyland thrives on having something to jump start the next age.
Erin Lindsey’s THE BLOODBOUND is the perfect beach read for fantasy fans. Combining traditional sword and sorcery with a heavy dose of romance, Lindsey introduces a formidable heroine you can’t help but root for.
While it took me forever and a day to read Scott Lynch’s fantastic debut THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, every moment was a joy. In more than 500 pages, I was never once bored or distracted with the fantastic characters and the mind bending plot.
