There is no doubt in my mind that Neil Gaiman is a true blue romantic at heart. Just read his fantasy work Stardust, which was adapted into a movie starring Claire Danes, Robert de Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, and which I simply had to watch, and you’ll surely agree with me.
Let’s talk about the book […]

Right after reading these two books, I’ve this weird sense of déjà vu. The story arc itself has strong biblical undertones to it, what with the Armageddon-like final battle, the rebirth, the blood sacrifice … it was as if I was reading something meant for heavier reading.
But there’s one theme that’s kind of common with […]

The month of May was as much about celebrating differences as fantasy serials. The three paranormal/ fantasy romance reads I finished had relationships that involved protagonists who come from different worlds/ races and time/ century.

This magnificent fantasy epic was first brought to my attention by Katie, who named them her Top 2007 reads. So, when I chanced upon the first two books of the series on a book buying binge, I swept them home and never regretted it.

Being no stranger to Lynn Kurland’s sweet time travel romances, I was naturally delighted to discover that she has published two romantic fantasy works under the Nine Kingdoms trilogy and needed no persuasion to get the series.
Turns out Star of the Morning and The Mage’s Daughter were every bit as brilliant as the back covers […]

With one website launched, I have a little bit of breathing space, so without further ado, here are the reviews of four books read recently.
Lord of the Silver Bow by David Gemmel is a prize find. I mean, I’ve always been a fan of Greek heroic fantasy, but have always stuck to the interpretations of […]

My reading diet has been a little varied of late. I’ve swung from the star magic and mystery of Enchanter and Battleaxe to the desert rites of passage for would-be queen Anghara and the meddling of a ghostly poltergeist with romantic endings, and enjoyed every bit of it.
