Baptism of Fire
by Andrzej Sapkowski

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.

Through Wolf's Eyes
by Jane Lindskold

Don't let the dated cover fool you. This is an excellent read with some truly intriguing characters.

Honour of the Grave
by Robin Laws

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

Book Reviews

A Keeper’s Tale
by JA Andrews

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

Book Reviews

The Outstretched Shadow
by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory

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

Time of Contempt
by Andrzej Sapkowski

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.

The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
by L. Frank Baum

Much like watching holiday favorites year after year, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is easily a story one can read each season.

The Privilege of the Sword
by Ellen Kushner

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.

Blood of Elves
by Andrzej Sapkowski

Jilted storytelling and a main character who is missing for much of the book makes Blood of Elves a two rocket read for me.
