You can't win 'em all... and with a mish-mash of science fiction and fairy tale that never quite gelled,
HOW RORY THORNE DESTROYED THE MULTIVERSE didn't win this one in our books.

Need more Lois McMaster Bujold in your life? You're in luck. Vanessa writes that THE ORPHANS OF RASPAY is a great addition to the "delightful" series of novellas featuring Penric and his demon, Desdemona.

DRIFTWOOD by Marie Brennan is a post-apoclyptic realm where countries, cities, and races go to die. Except for one man--he's become legend.

As Vanessa says: Marie Brennan never disappoints.

In MIDDLEGAME, McGuire centers a complex story structure around compelling and simple character stakes to make an unusual story.

THE LESSONS NEVER LEARNED suffers some second book syndrome, with a focus more on world building rather than character.

A detailed world with an impressive story, THE GUTTER PRAYER was uneven, but still worth checking out.

THE OBSIDIAN TOWER is relentlessly paced with strong prose, and interesting protagonist. Definitely check out this one if you're looking for some fresh YA fantasy in your life.

OF HONEY AND WILDFIRES is an alternate western fantasy. While it was light on some of the worldbuilding elements, it strong characters and elegant prose.

BLOOD SONG is a solidly crafted read with well-wrought characters, even if it's a little light on the speculative elements.

@janefunkwrites says that THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR is "a tale that develops into a resonant piece about desire, belonging, and love. It’s a story that reads beautifully and will linger with you."

"WOOL by Hugh Howey has everything a post-apocalptic book ought to: humanity struggling to survive, plucky heroes, and revelations that change the future."

BLOOD COUNTESS is horror story inspired by the gruesome historical serial killer, Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Vanessa called it a good horror story with interesting characters, but a little lacking in plot.

SHOREFALL is out! Dan says it was "lots of shiny but not much substance."

While the prose was solid, Dan thought that MAGIC FOR LIARS had a few too many detours and lacked the context to make a compelling plot.
