Valour and Vanity by Mary Robinette Kowal

(Description nicked from B&N.com.)

“After Melody's wedding, the Ellsworths and Vincents accompany the young couple on their tour of the continent. Jane and Vincent plan to separate from the party and travel to Murano to study with glassblowers there, but their ship is set upon by Barbary corsairs while en route. It is their good fortune that they are not enslaved, but they lose everything to the pirates and arrive in Murano destitute.

Jane and Vincent are helped by a kind local they meet en route, but Vincent is determined to become self-reliant and get their money back, and hatches a plan to do so. But when so many things are not what they seem, even the best laid plans conceal a few pitfalls. The ensuing adventure is a combination of the best parts of magical fantasy and heist novels, set against a glorious Regency backdrop.”

[Book review] Phoenix Rising by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris

Click image to purchase from Amazon This review contains minor spoilers. I have a love/hate relationship with steampunk. I never fell head-over-heels in love with the genre the way some people have. At best, I’ve tolerated its presence on the shelves. Recently, I’ve read some steampunk that I thought was good, but I still don’t consider myself to be an aficionado. Therefore, I tend to approach any novel with steampunk elements with a bit of trepidation. Phoenix Rising does indeed fit the bill of steampunk, but contains many other story elements as well.

As a result of the dramatic rescue, Braun is reassigned to the Archives with Books. Although initial...

[Book review] The Hammer by K. J. Parker

Click image to purchase from Amazon I suppose that one could say that fantasy novels are the fables for modern adults. They use magic and strange creatures to cloak the morality plays that typically only belong to children’s books. Whereas a small child might read “Hansel and Gretel” and absorb the “don’t talk to strangers” motto, novels for adults can’t be that blatant. Luckily, we have books like The Hammer , which not only explores the idea of vengeance, but it also digs into the issues of community and its responsibilities. Gignomai met’Oc is a younger son in an exiled noble family. Lording it over the community that sits at the foot of their plateau, they constantly look towards the day when they will be allowed Home and their exile will end. While not exactly approving of Gig’s forays into town to interact with “common folk”, the family nonetheless turns a blind eye to his visits. But one day the visits stop, and when they resume, Gig has obviou...

Burning Nation by Trent Reedy

This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. (Description nicked from B&N.com.) “At the end of Divided We Fall , Danny Wright’s beloved Idaho had been invaded by the federal government, their electricity shut off, their rights suspended. Danny goes into hiding with his friends in order to remain free. But after the state declares itself a Republic, Idaho rises to fight in a second American Civil War, and Danny is right in the center of the action, running guerrilla missions with his fellow soldiers to break the Federal occupation. Yet what at first seems like a straightforward battle against governmental repression quickly grows more complicated, as more states secede, more people die, and Danny discovers the true nature of some of his new allies.” Continue reading...
