Road of Skulls by Josh Reynolds – Book Review [Shadowhawk]

Road-of-Skulls

Shadowhawk reviews the latest Gotrek & Felix novel.

“Quite possibly one of the best Gotrek & Felix novels to date, this also cements Josh Reynolds’ place as a solid writer for both the Gotrek & Felix franchise and the Warhammer Fantasy setting.” ~The Founding Fields

FrankHerbertDuneC01

Shadowhawk reviews the first novel of the Dune Chronicles series.

“A trip down memory lane, Dune is more amazing than when I first read it back in high school, almost ten years ago. Still one of the best science fiction novels I’ve read to date.” ~The Founding Fields

The Great Betrayal by Nick Kyme – Book Review [Shadowhawk]

The Great Betryal

Shadowhawk reviews the first novel in the new War of Vengeance trilogy for the Time of Legends meta-series.

“This is quite possibly Nick’s best work to date, better than even Nocturne perhaps. The only way to decide might be a novel deathmatch.” ~The Founding Fields

Random House Double – Kept and The Bloodfire Quest [Shadowhawk]

KeptnBloodfireQuest

Shadowhawk reviews two of the latest novels from Random House/Del Rey – the second Coveted novel Kept by Shawntelle Madison and the second Dark Legacy of Shannara novel The Bloodfire Quest by Terry Brooks.

On Kept: “A thoroughly engaging and flawed novel that failed on a very interesting premise.” ~The Founding Fields

On The Bloodfire Quest: “Mostly a rehash of The Elfstones of Shannara, the new novel has occasional flashes of brilliance but little else.” ~The Founding Fields
