I had to read this to see what the fuss was about! Only about 10 years late! I kind of suffered through the first two-thirds of the book. The note-for-note resemblance to Beauty & the Beast, with painting swapped out for books, the main character's 's ...more |

| A fun, very grimdark and Abercrombie-esque look at a Black Company-type fantasy military outfit. If you read The First Law, the aforementioned BC, or at least struggled through some of Malazan, nothing here will be unfamiliar, but it's a fantasticall ...more | |

This was so fun and so very f***ed up. I loved it so very much, and as a bonus, it was nice and short, though I would be glad to hang in there for six hundred more pages. I don't want to give away any of the twists, but the central conceit is that a b ...more |

| Really more 4.5 This was a blast. A horror novel that took everything about metal and its relation to horror and the macabre and collapsed it all into one shot of menace and meanness. I loved how the main character is forced to trust only the paranoi ...more | |

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life:
The Lord of the Rings
and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
