Arthur lives with his father, a fallen but proud former noble, in Border Village #49, along with the other good folks condemned to toil in service to the Baron. But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

I had never considered a deck building book interesting in any way. I never even liked the deck building games out there. I looked at it all with the same interest as cleaning out my fridge. But this series is absolutely wonderful. I even got onto patron to get myself access to the next book’s chapters.

Having survived the first wave of invading players, Oren now seeks to strengthen his clan. With the Breeder's Den destroyed and most of Goblin's Gorge's resources devoted to rebuilding, his best hope lies in creating an army of golems. But for that, he needs Viridium, a rare metal that can only be obtained from hobgoblin towns, where Oren and his clan of goblins are viewed as nothing more than potential slaves.

Too much plot untouched for it to end:(
Reviewed: 10-14-19
There had been so much build up and interesting plot left unresolved and not explored when it all just ended suddenly. Wish it had been able to wrap up so much more before all of it had just been halted and over. Very disappointing.

In The Land: Predators, the Mist Village has harnessed its power. With core buildings, professional fighters, and now their own dungeon, the settlement is primed to grow into a kingdom of true power and magic. The path to power has not been without risk, however. The MistVillage has been noticed. Evil nobles from the Kingdom of Law, bloodthirsty goblins from the Serrated Mountains, an undead lord with a penchant for human sacrifice, and fanatical kobolds from the Depths all plot the village's destruction.

This book had a wonderful plot and story that was interesting and I really enjoyed this respective from the vampire side. Though Thea gets really caught up in what it would be like to be bored with life in general so much that it gets a little redundant. But the plot more than makes up for it.

An all wolf-shifter police force has been the only thing between humans and an unknown evil for centuries, but the pack is in danger of dying if they don't find their promised mates soon. It's a race against time to find the angel/human hybrid "One True Mates" that the pack's spiritual leaders say truly exist. Steamy. Light swearing. High heat. You've never experienced a shifter romance like this before.

Not his best work
Reviewed: 03-03-17
This book was easily the hardest of Jim Butcher's books to get into. The plot was great and the characters are wonderful. Even the narrator is fantastic. There just isn't enough information for a person to understand the gravity of all the situations. I am hoping that more books will bring the info that I need.

R is a young man with an existential crisis—he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. His ability to connect with the outside world is limited to a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. After experiencing a teenage boy’s memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and strangely sweet relationship with the victim’s human girlfriend, Julie.

I love the creativity and fun perspective. The way that your always hearing what R. Is thinking is so humorous. Some people might not get the humor. It's not funny because of awesome punch lines.

Good book
Reviewed: 04-05-16
What made the experience of listening to Halo the most enjoyable?
I like the descriptions of what is being thought as things happen. Most books just say that whatever happened and so they reacted by doing this. This book gets into Jon's head and you see what it is that causes him to do what he does. It's awesome!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jon. By far Jon. He is still so human after being altered so completely.
What does Todd McLaren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He totally reads the military speak the way that you would expect them to be talking to each other. I'm not a "sir yes sir," type of reader and I don't think my brain would keep the enthusiasm up enough to enjoy this book on my own. Listening to Todd is awesome!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really anything emotional. A few times I wanted to go out and beat the snot out of aliens or play chicken in a space ship.
Any additional comments?
I wish I could have a A.I in my head.

But when her hood is removed and her storm-summoning killing curse revealed, Nym is snatched up by a court advisor and given a choice: be trained as the weapon Faelen needs to win the war or be killed.

Ouch!
Reviewed: 04-05-16
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Not really. It has a great story but I can't bring myself to read the second.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Extremely disappointed.
Do you think Storm Siren needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. It's so hard to imagine life after this book for her. Just thinking about it all is just so depressing.
Any additional comments?
The main character is a spoiled brat that throws temper tantrums and hissy fits. The other characters make the book worth reading. So.... Not really interested in book two.
