review 1: Having read teasers for this on the author's website, I was keen to read this, as it's a Tam Lin story and that's a theme I love. I was fortunate enough to be sent an ARC, and the book did not disappoint. This is Tam Lin territory -- stolen lover, determined female hero and other...

review 1: My first exposure to Laura Anne Gilman, Flesh and Fire (2009) is the first of a series. Some series come about when a book receives a warm welcome from the reading public. Flesh and Fire shows Gilman planned this series from the start as she uses book one to paint her alternative...

review 1: I gave this one a chance even though the first one made me kind of cry with the excessive, story-slowing sexual tension and sexual content.This book had more of the not-story-enhancing sex and sexual tension, also the excessive narration. There were literally pages of thick narra...

review 1: I'm hooked on this series. Love the PUPIs. I don't quite get why she does part of the book in 1st person (Bonnie) and part in 3rd person. Why not just make the whole book 3rd person? But anyway, I love the world she's created. I do have a fear that it's going to turn into 10...

review 1: This series is just getting better and better.I love how most people who reviewed this never gave the hint of a major event in the book. I did not see that particular thing coming. I can't even write about it because I might say too much and ruin the story for someone else. I lik...

review 1: This is more like 4 and a half stars. I liked this book more than I liked the last two Retriever books. This one was just about Wren, Sergei, and P.B., instead of all the extra characters/conspiracies/etc. Not that I didn't enjoy those books, I just liked this story about the cor...

review 1: Decent conclusion to what has been a very interesting and unique fantasy series melding magic, wine, friendship and the making of a new world. There did feel like there was a bit much crammed into this book at times - it was moving too fast, too many threads trying to come togeth...

review 1: So...What do I have to say about this one? Not much. It's mainly like the previous ones except for an upgrade in intensity and complexity. Grey seems to be the new colour for the team. There were some actions morally questionable but I don't see how the situation could've been ha...

review 1: Meh. I can't say I particularly liked this ending. The lines keep blurring more and more, Ian was murdered and Bonnie ended up promising her first child to a dragon for money. I keep expecting stuff to finally make sense but so far...no such luck. I really hated Ian's death. Not ...

review 1: After reading Free Fall, I couldn't imagine Laura Anne Gilman making Wren Valere's life any more "interesting," but I stand corrected. While not the nail-biting, hair-raising page-turner of the previous book, Blood Stone is as filled with twists and turns as ever. To me, Blood Fr...
