Scholastic Magic: Ritual and Revelation in Early Jewish Mysticism
by Michael D. Swartz
read in March, 2013
|
|
| This interesting monograph has an oddly misleading title. "Scholastic Magic" sounds like it should be an overview of a medieval approach to magic based on texts and deductive reasoning, but it's not. Instead, it's a careful and fascinating discussion...more | |

| This book is an unfortunate victim of its publisher. The content itself is fascinating, and were I rating it on that basis alone, I would have given it 4 stars. But the production values are terrible. Apparently Oxford University Press decided that c...more | |

| A carefully written, fundamentally interesting study bogged down in way too much detail about feuds with people who have, historically speaking, turned out to be insignificant. Yeats, like too many writers, made enemies as easily as he made friends....more | |

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes, #3)
by Arthur Conan Doyle
read in February, 2013
|
|
| This review is mostly about the edition, not the stories, which hold up remarkably well. (I first read them back when I was a teenager. In the Dark Ages, that was.) A while back Oxford University Press issued a uniform, scholarly edition of all the c...more | |

Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant, #3)
by Ben Aaronovitch (Goodreads Author)
read in February, 2013
|
|
| This is the best of the series so far. The narrative voice is still strong, the plot is under the author's control, and the Big Secret is charming though it has its dangers. Don't read the blurb on the back, which seems to have been written by someon...more | |

| Overall, very well written and enjoyable as Aaronovitch further defines and refines the direction the series will take. The wordplay is as strong as ever. I particularly liked "ethically challenged magician" to replace "black magician" when Peter fin...more | |

| Traina's basic concept works very well. In a series of short chapters he takes the reader on a quick trip around the Mediterranean world in Late Antiquity that gives the "feel" of the political situation at the time. He tucks a lot of interesting det...more | |

| Newly minted Constable Peter Grant finds out he has more than a talent for ordinary police work in this well-written, fast-paced mystery with magic set in London. It's the first of the series -- some of the characters are sketched in rather than full...more | |

“I wonder if I'll ever forgive Evandar? I wonder even more if I should bother," Aderyn said.
"Of course you should," Nevyn said wearily, "but for your own sake, not his. Hatred binds a man to what he hates, and I think me you need to be free of him.”
