I was very curious to see how this book was going to work – it’s a tacked on end to a former trilogy that actually ended with the death of Arthur. So bringing back another Arthur story was definitely a bold move. What this story does is go back to a few […]

I’m often surprised how many de Lint books are out there that I still haven’t read. The man is nothing short of prolific. This is a book of short stories, with familiar characters, and characters that are just passing through or around Newford. My favorite story in this book is “Seven Wild Sisters”

This is the fourth of the Mercy Thompson books, and definitely has an air of a between stories story, though far better done than what I’ve been reading in the later Sookie Stackhouse books. There were some rather serious events in the last book that Mercy is dealing with, including having killed one of the

This book really shouldn’t work. It’s about a wizard, who happens to be a Trainee Assistant Director on a vampire show filming in Vancouver, and a Demon Convergence. Oh, and it turns out their freelance stuntwoman is actually an immortal demon gate, so if she dies, the demongate will open, and her
