This one was hard for me in a couple ways.
The most critical one: Diora. I know, from reading reviews, that people adore her. I don't. I honestly, seriously, don't. I have never been a fan of what I call "precious" heroines - the ones who are treated like a perfect, pampered princess... usually...

FINALLY finished this awful, tedious book, one of the few I've ever read that I can honestly say I strongly considered giving up on, more than once. Part of a trilogy (and you couldn't get me to read the other two at gunpoint), it's set in an interesting semi-steampunk setting where magic energy (ley) is...

This book's comprised of two of Huff's novels. The first, Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light is a modern fantasy set in Toronto. It's sort of a near-apocalypse story, as the conflict's due to an Adept of Darkness (a demon, in other words) infiltrating the city. He plans to access a gate which will unleash...

| Author | Elizabeth A. Lynn |
| ISBN | 0441006116 |
This was an interesting book. I picked it up at the library while in search of a new fantasy author. I'd never heard of Lynn, but she had good recommendations from two of my favorite authors on the back of the book, so I thought I would give it a shot.
I did enjoy her writing style - it was interesting...

Testo latino a fronte
Gli Amori sono probabilmente il libro latino di versi che ha avuto più fortuna nella storia. Quello che ancora affascina, in queste poesie, è il loro delizioso libertinaggio: una frivolezza, una volubilità, una mutabilità infinite che sono una condizione intellettuale...

I love Segnbora (love love love Segnbora). I love dragons. I love like 95% of this book. But there are maybe 5 pages that just destroyed the story for me. You can look at other reviews for more details, as I am far from the only person to have this issue. (CW for discussion of (view spoiler)[rape (hide spoiler)].
