A good choice for teens, but somewhat slower going for those who've read more widely.

Science fiction

Ruins – Orson Scott Card

  • Orson Scott Card
  • Pathfinder
Published 23 May 2022

The series finale pays off in a satisfying way.

Fantasy

Emperor and Clown – Dave Duncan

  • Dave Duncan
  • A Man of His Word
Published 22 May 2022

A fun book, though it could have been stronger with more direction and less wandering.

Fantasy

Perilous Seas – Dave Duncan

  • Dave Duncan
  • A Man of His Word
Published 8 May 2022

Overall, an interesting entry, but not really satisfying.

Fantasy

Seventh Decimate – Stephen R. Donaldson

  • Stephen R. Donaldson
  • Great God's War
Published 7 May 2022

This isn't the strongest entry in the series, but it's still a good one, and enjoyable.

Fantasy

Faery Lands Forlorn – Dave Duncan

  • Dave Duncan
  • A Man of His Word
Published 6 May 2022

It's an interesting effort that, in my view, didn't really pay off.

Fantasy

The Watcher’s Mask – Laurie J. Marks

  • Laurie J. Marks
Published 5 May 2022

A strong finish to a strong series.

Science fiction

House of the Wolf – M.K. Wren

  • M. K. Wren
  • Phoenix Legacy
Published 1 May 2022

Still fun, but it feels very much like the middle book of a trilogy that was never finished.

Fantasy

In the Red Lord’s Reach – Phyllis Eisenstein

  • Phyllis Eisenstein
  • Alaric the Minstrel
Published 29 April 2022

Not perfect, but still great SF romance.

Science fiction

Shadow of the Swan – M.K. Wren

  • M. K. Wren
  • Phoenix Legacy
Published 28 April 2022

A very enjoyable read, and I recommend it.

Fantasy

Born to Exile – Phyllis Eisenstein

  • Phyllis Eisenstein
  • Alaric the Minstrel
Published 27 April 2022

I'd recommend it to fantasy readers young and old.

Fantasy

Magic Casement – Dave Duncan

  • Dave Duncan
  • A Man of His Word
Published 25 April 2022

I greatly admired the prose, but found the characters distant, and more intellectually interesting than personally engaging.

Fantasy

Aspects – John M. Ford

  • John M. Ford
  • Lystourel
Published 25 April 2022
