Pauline's Fantasy Reviews

Another free ebook download, but this one is rather good. Yes, it's got its fair share of typos, but mostly it's a missing or extra ...

This is a weird book, in several ways. It's written in the first person by a young woman who's obviously several sandwiches short of...

This was another free book, although I have no idea where I got it from (it's still cheap on Amazon). I've learned to be wary of fre...

This was a free book I picked up in my early Kindle days, and it's still cheap. It was in Amazon's top 100 free list for months, whi...

This is an astonishing book, at a number of different levels. The surface story is of Elaine, a middle-aged artist who returns to her childh...

Again, this third book of the trilogy starts where the previous one left off, with the war still going on and the rogue dragon Snow still wo...

The second book of a trilogy is always intriguing. Will there be a change of tempo or a new direction, or will it simply carry on from the f...

Well, this is a whole heap of rip-roaring fun and no mistake. It's not profound, the characters are all selfish and devious bastards, th...

I don't often read short stories - I'm more into sprawling multi-volume works at the moment - but this is a good reminder of what I...

This is what happens, folks, when you get a brand new Kindle and rush out to fill it up with all sorts of free stuff. Some of what you find ...

This is an interesting debut, a very assured piece of writing, the first part of a trilogy set in a vaguely Romanesque world. There's a ...

It's always a pleasure to come across a richly imagined secondary world, and the author has produced a terrific example here. There are ...

I found this very hard to get into. It's a dry-as-dust history of the author's family, based around a surviving fragment of their at...

This is an OK read, better than many of its type if a little uneven, with a compelling ending and well named - the pace truly is relentless....

I'm really not a big fan of urban fantasy. Discovering the author's created world is (for me) the most exciting part of fantasy, and...

Strange book, quite surreal. It's young adult, which limits the scope, but nevertheless there's some depth to it. The premise: three...

This is a review of the entire series, originally published as six books: 'The Crown Conspiracy', 'Avempartha', 'Nyphron...

It's always special when you reach the end of a series, particularly one which was planned from the start, rather than growing organical...

So finally I get to read this as part of the new world order, the six book series republished as a standard-issue trilogy. This and the fina...

Not a lot to add to my original review. There were a lot of new characters added in this book, some we met briefly in previous books, and so...
