Geralt remains AWOL for much of this book, which really is a shame because he has so much potential as a main POV character. Unfortunately, Time of Contempt continues the downward slide in ratings for this series.

A near perfect blend of dystopian and military science fiction. Prepare to jump!

A fairy tale type of story that is likable enough, even if it is marred by some unlikable characters.

A promising start that fizzled out and ultimately led to me putting this one down.

The ongoing adventures of Cugel the Clever continue in the third novel in the Dying Earth series. Will Cugel once more attempt to gain greatness with the least expenditure possible? It wouldn't be called Cugel's Saga if he didn't.

The best book in the series so far, Baptism of Fire is marked by a series of notable events and characters who keep the pace moving and the reader's interest as Geralt (finally) takes center stage.

Bizarre character behavior was so jarring I couldn't get through this one.

The best of the best for 2018. Earning top honors is a tough endeavor. See if you agree with my selections.

2018's most popular book and movie reviews.

Very well written but The Privilege of the Sword just didn't give me enough to truly enjoy it. Still, it has some moments where it shines so I'm giving it three rockets.
