The Winter Kingby Bernard Cornwell433pp (Paperback)My Rating: 8/10Amazon Rating: 4.5/5LibraryThing Rating: 4.02/5Goodreads Rating: 4.2/5 The Winter King, the first book in the Warlord Chronicles trilogy by Bernard Cornwell, is usually referred to as a fantasy book since it is about the legend of King Arthur but leans more toward the category of historical fiction. Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, and, of course, Arthur, are still featured characters, but the story is not full of magic and is a realistic retelling of the […]
I’ve been looking around for interesting books for presents this year and thought I’d list some of the more interesting ones in case others are also looking for fantasy and science fiction book gifts that are more special than books you can get from a nearby bookstore.

Although it is the first book in a series, there are no cliffhanger endings and the book stands quite well on its own. This is tagged as a young adult book and the main story is very reminiscent of books I read as a child; […]
The Princes of the Golden Cageby Nathalie Mallet320pp (Paperback)My Rating: 5/10Amazon Rating: 4/5LibraryThing Rating: 3.25/5Goodreads Rating: 2.5/5 The Princes of the Golden Cage is Nathalie Mallet’s debut novel and the first book in the Prince Amir series. I was fortunate enough to receive a copy from a book giveaway on Fantasy & Sci-Fi Lovin’ Book Reviews last month, so I recently read it to review here.
