Sci-fi and Fantasy Book Reviews



Novels are rated from one to five stars. I try to avoid half-stars as much as possible, but you'll occasionally see one when I'm really split between two ratings.

* - Better find something else to do with your time.
** - Poor, though not without some merit.
*** - Solid, with some occasional high points.
**** - Great stuff. Buy it if you can.
***** - The best of the best. Recommended even to those outside the sci-fi/fantasy community.

~ - This means I haven't finished reading the book yet, so the rating is a first impression.
