Jane Jago Mariel of Redwall


Mariel of Redwall. I love it. Good is good and evil is evil. And evil gets a good bashing in the end. What more d'you want...

Yes, it really wasn't what I was expecting! The Handmaid's Tale is naturally on my list but I hadn't heard of Oryx and Crake - looks intriguing, I'm adding it now. Thanks for the recommendations!

Jane Jago The Attenbury Emeralds by Jill Paton Walsh.

It's a real read and very difficult to put down.

Watts Martin | 4 comments I'm currently reading Malus Domestica, an urban fantasy/horror book by S.A. Hunt. While horror's not my usual playground (I tend to be more into contemporary fantasy with excursions into sci-fi), it's good so far, and I always appreciate good action heroines.

Al "Tank" (alkalar) | 280 comments The Star King (Star, #1) by Susan Grant Struggling through The Star King. 37% into it. I got this as a freebee and was going to repay the author with a review when I finished it. But I just can't and any review I write would be unfair to the book.

The problem isn't the quality of the writing, but that it's a romance in a science fiction jacket. Unfortunately, it's rare that I like a romance and this isn't one of them. Also, there are a couple of small science errors in the yarn.

Romance lovers will probably like this story. It follows the "formula", the characters are well-developed, the guy is a strong "hunk" (as required for the romance genre), and the writing is solid.

If I were still in the publishing business and this was a submission, I'd recommend it to the bosses.

But I'm gonna drop it.

That's a problem that people have created a SF-romance genre as opposed to having romance elements in a book predominantly SF. I wouldn't appreciate that either.

This one is primarily a romance in an SF setting. I have no heartburn with that as long as the buyer is aware of what s/he's buying. It should be in the romance category.
