review 1: I really liked the beginning. Great start. I only made it a few chapters in before my sis (who had just finished the third book) warned me of how things were going to end and I decided not to continue down that road. I simply did not want to have to go through tho books only to l...

review 1: Darksiders is a sort of medley of over the top action, fantasy, science fiction, and super heroes based in mythology.There aren't a lot of books written about super heroes specifically because it is difficult to showcase the sort of action they can deliver in literature without c...

review 1: Mick Oberon, detective in 1930s Chicago. Not only did it capture a feel of a detective noir novel -- heavy slang, damsels in distress, uneasy alliances, and inevitable betrayals -- the author managed to keep the urban fantasy in check. This isn't a world where every other charact...

review 1: Sometimes you can tell an author is enjoying himself while he writes. Jim Butcher has it, Kevin Hearne has it and Ari Marmell has it in bounds. His storytelling is natural and fluent, his characters are well fleshed out and his world is both intriguingly different and delightfull...

review 1: I know that I once remarked in one of my reviews that any book with a sad ending, no matter how good it was, automatically receives one star less than what it really deserves. Well. Let's just say that this one deserved 6 stars and got 5 instead. Still sarcastically funny, still ...

review 1: I read another book(The Goblin Corps) by the same author, and decided to give this one a try. While, the plot is solid from beginning to finish, it was hard for me to really enjoy this book. The main character Corvis, is one I felt like I really wanted to like but, I couldn't. F...

review 1: On paper, I should have liked this. I mean, I like the idea of planeswalker cards in Magic, and I like the fact that Wizards is trying to make the lore aspect of things more front and centre to the game. I even liked some of the characters - Tezzeret is an interesting character, ...

review 1: *___* (elaborerò più avanti... forse)Questo libro è davvero molto carino: la trama è interessante e i personaggi sono semplicemente fantastici. Sono ben caratterizzati e ce ne sono un paio che non si lasceranno dimenticare facilmente, come, ad esempio, Olgun. Un dio straniero che...

review 1: This is my all time favorite book. It has been a long time since I read an actual book that I would read again. I would literally laugh out loud when I read this book. The characters are perfect, the story makes sense, and the book feels so alive. Everything about this book i...

review 1: It's not common for me to give five stars but fuck me did this deserve it. Urgh just so much more bad-ass, bloody and generally horrifying (in a good way) than the first book, I just can't.. I loved the developments I saw in each character, going into much more depth with the sup...

review 1: Ari Marmell disproves the rule that all books based on games are horrible. The War Machines: Iron Kingdoms only provides the background for an exciting tale of spying and fighting. In Thunder Forged (trade from Pyr) is an exciting adventure.Dignity is a spy from Cygnar in allied ...
