The depth of world-building and character development in this book is amazing. The style of world-building is different than what you get in Herbert's Dune universe or Tolkien's Middle-Earth. Maybe it would have been...

he "The Stone Prince" by Fiona Patton is THE gay fantasy book, really. Not even Lynn Flewellyn's "Nightrunner Series" is so good (and I have a soft spot for these books). I mean, Patton pushes all my buttons here:
- Prince Demnor and his male Companion Kelahnus are so incredibly devoted to each...

There doesn't seem to be a very big change between the second book of this series and the first. In some ways, it feels slightly more mature than the first book did, but not by very much. The characters still act like inexperienced, headstrong teenagers. Some of the newly introduced characters are even...

Elizabeth Lynn's Chronicles of Tornor are richly characterized but have no connecting characters, her style changes per book to fit the period described, and she muses challengingly on both gender and orientation. the cumulative effect of all the life journeys depicted is one that encourages careful...

3⭐️. Like the first book in the trilogy, not bad but nothing to make it stand out. I’ll probably read the last book but will likely read something else as a palate cleanser. Some nice moments throughout (although a little lacking in the gender equality dept). .

In a lot of ways, this is where the series hits its stride. There's no longer the choppy, episodic feeling of the earlier books; everything flows smoothly, despite (perhaps because?) the fact that it's the first book to have three equal co-protagonists, three parallel stories. And there's still the...
