A SOLDIER'S DUTY reminded me of Dune, Starship Troopers, and Honor Harrington. Main character Ia personifies the citizen-soldier. The action turns the page. The world building is superb. At times Ia’s “gifts” stretch credulity. Is there nothing she can’t do? Well, maybe. This is science fiction a...
Meilleur que le premier tome L'auteur élargit la vision de Ia non plus à sa carrière et ou à vague ojectif (sauver l'univers !) mais aux étapes et aux sacrifices que sa destinée réclame. les batailles sont plus impressionnantes? des nouveaux indices sont semés pour piquer notre curiosité et même ...
The Final son Morganen will get his bride Hope and they will fulfill the curse of the Eight Prophecy. The worst of the Prophecy will fall to Morganen and I guess that is why he is given so many powers. You get to finally see just how powerful he is in this book he is when he is driven to it by th...
A paranormal romance with deep world-building. I enjoyed getting to know the Shifterai, their customs and folklore. I never expect to regret leaving a world at the end of this type of book, but I definitely did feel a sense of disappointment at having the story end. This was my first Jean John...
I didn't particularly like this book. When the cover of a book says "Erotic Fairy Tales", I expect some erotic fairy tales. Not some odd (if not interesting) spin on a classic tale. What I mean by that, is that I didn't like how half the stories were given a sci-fi twist. I love sci-fi as much as...
Great series. Good BookI didn't enjoy this book as much as I did the rest of the series. The beginning of the book was slow and slightly disjointed to start with. I was expecting to read about the sword fight mentioned in the start of the book but was disappointed with that and other scenes that ...
Literally fed, Jintaya discovered when the quartet did not take a break to stop and eat. As the healer of the expedition, she knew exactly what to look for when someone was too absorbed in a task to notice their body began to starve, to dehydrate or worse. Magic was one such task, but she found n...
In hindsight, it’s easy to claim I had a purpose for what I did, but at the time, it was nothing more than the sheerest instinct to deliver an horrendous, overwhelming shock. A slap to the face to wake everybody up. And . . . maybe a touch of revenge. I am mostly Human, after all. &nb...
Clothing did not “fall naturally into place” but had to be tugged this way and that. Hemlines remained rumpled unless pulled straight and tucked into waistbands and so forth. And a skirt? Forget it. Forget all skirt-like objects in the weightlessness of insystem space. Jacaranda MacKenzie might w...
What kind of a question is . . . ? No, of course I understand very well what you saw in all that footage from Sallha—you were on my ship, meioa. I know what you had access to. Yes, I understand that you finally realize I have been seeing those corpses ever since I was fifteen, and that you’ve rea...
Trapped in a madman’s arms, trapped in a madman’s house—trapped in a world gone mad—Kelly Doyle finally gave up trying to get free. Neither of the two men seemed to speak plain English, and she had given up trying to remember any of her old high school French, so she couldn’t try to see if they s...
Gearman’s strength shall then endow, When Guilds’ defender casts them out. If it weren’t for the way the silvery web covering his jaw prevented him from casting spells, Torven Shel Von would have immediately freed himself and transformed his captors into little insects, th...
Elrik had been traveling with Arasa for three weeks now, enduring the thankfully lessening heat of midday as autumn progressed, though it meant the nights were correspondingly colder. The air around them was warm enough to cause heat shimmers and trickles of sweat, but whenever he thought about t...
Kenyen knew both of them well enough from their travels. The group had been together since setting out at midspring, after all. But he didn't know them quite as well as he knew Manolo.When the fourth bird was properly painted and the lot carried to the cave mouth, inked, and released to flap thei...
