This series definitely has potential, but I'm not going to lie I was skimming the pages near the climax of the story. I just thought it was very unevenly paced and that the reasoning for all the intrigue was either too complicated for me to understand (highly doubt that) or not explained very wel...
The first book dealt more with the vampire end of the setting, this book focuses on the witches. Otherwise it's still much of the same engaging characters, professional chef details, and urban fantasy trappings as the previous book. Still quite enjoyable, and I still have much the same issue with...
Camelot's Sword follows the premise of the first two books in the series: One of the sons of Lot (in this case Gareth) meets a fair maiden (Lynet Carnbrea) as a result of some sort of evil plotting (Morgaine's magical hijinks) and together they defeat said evil plot.As usual the writing is very g...
A pristine world called Pandora with the ruling class living in villages protected with electric fences, and nature outside the fence that can kill. Sounds like James Cameron read this book.

I am also happy because Sarah Zettel's retelling did an amazing job of blending several things:- The story of Gawain and the Gr...

The first book told the story of Gawain and his lady love; Camelot's Honour follows a new set of characters - Gawain's brother Geraint and a young Welsh noblewoman, Elen. In my opinion it's a big improvement on the first book. ...
Only recently have I started reading entire trilogies in one go, and I think this greatly enhances the experience. This proved to be a satisfying conclusion in many ways, although less than satisfactory in others. Several threads were left hanging - and I cannot help but feel that Zettel intended...
Give women the vote, suffragists said, and we’ll have a kinder, gentler, more peaceful government. Women got the vote, and the country went to war with a fury never before seen. What if an entire planet were populated by women, with the male of the species being an enfeebled post-menopausal evolu...
