T L Greylock

Good world-building and engaging characters. I particularly like that the protagonist is a sort of "scientist hero" whose trade skills are as much use to her and in driving the plot than are the more traditional adventure tropes. The plot was absorbing and made good use of the interaction of characters, landscape and history. Only quibbles were some of the dialog feeling unnatural, and (specific to the print edition) a weird kerning issue with the "a" characters throughout which left a gap which looked at times like a word break. I look forward to reading the next volume!… (més)

I was invited by Steven Kelliher to participate in a group read of Lost Lore: A Fantasy Anthology by, Terrible Ten. Having read Steven's work, I agreed. I'm glad I did. This is a great anthology with each story having its own style of fantasy. I rated each book separately.
