Book Reviews

ON SHELVES

AGATHA H AND THE AIRSHIP CITY by Phil and Kaja Foglio

"Agatha Heterodyne’s journey is as enthralling in print as when it came accompanied by all those pretty, pretty pictures." -- Rachel Hyland

HOMECOMING by Jo Graham and Melissa Scott

"II wasn't a fan of the final season of Atlantis. This book, however, reads like the first three or four episodes of an amazing sixth season." -- Geonn Cannon

THE BARDS OF BONE PLAIN by Patricia A. McKillip

"I loved it. I just… loved it." - Rachel Hyland

UNEARTHLY by Cynthia Hand

"I am not the target audience for this book... So in order to attempt to review it correctly, rather than writing as me, I will instead attempt it from the standpoint of a 14-year old girl." -- K. Burtt

IN THE STACKS
Our topic this month: Anthologies

DREAMSONGS by George R. R. Martin

"The question at the heart of any review of an anthology is: are the stories any good? In this case: yes. Yes, they are." -- K. Burtt

FIRST MEETINGS (IN THE ENDERVERSE) by Orson Scott Card

"All four stories are well written and worth reading. Taken as a whole, though, the anthology feels a bit lacking." -- K. Burtt

KEEPER OF DREAMS by Orson Scott Card

"The book is divided into five sections: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Literary, Hatrack River... and Mormon." -- K. Burtt

MUST LOVE HELLHOUNDS edited by Charlaine Harris

"One would think, by looking at the cover and reading the title, that all the stories would be united in having stories that centered on hellhounds. However..." -- Sara Paige

Our topic next month:
Paranormal Romance
