OVERVIEW: Queen of Song and Souls

Tuesday, October 26, 2010 15:00 5 Comments

Action begins the war in this edition of the series in Queen of Song and Souls. I remember my heart thudding with each throw of a fey’cha or thrust of a sword or toss of a magical ball of fire. Ms. Wilson pulls no punches in the beginning of this war with the Eld mages. [...]

At that time, C.L., in her wildest dreams, never imagined her book would go [...]

OVERVIEW: Lord of the Fading Lands

I look at this cover now and think how crazy I was to judge the fantasy story inside as something I probably wouldn’t like. Now this cover as well as the other four in this series are some of my favorites. The old saying is true: Don’t judge a book its cover. This is the [...]
