It's Aubrey-Maturin so there's a lot going on, but it's really lacking in blood and thunder , or very much else. Much of it is taken up with the title character, who is clearly not what she seems, but the other characters are agonisingly slow about ca ...more |

"All but the most dedicated Aubrey-Maturin will want to skip this one. A lot of running in place--or, rather, dog paddling--with very little forward motion. It's as if the series became becalmed in the South Pacific. It's fun to read only if it isn't "

memorably brilliant Fantastic piece of SF with a strong cosmic horror theme. Best I have read for a long time, pursues ideas brilliantly and the horror element is deep dark and effective. |

Well, it's not Middlemarch. A sweeping story of 19th century life, with some very acute character studies, plenty to say about the lot of women, and some dashes of comedy this has a lot in common with Eliot's masterpiece but falls short in several wa ...more |

The Case Book of Harry Stubbs: Four Cthulhu Mythos Adventures:
"Why 5 stars? Are these excellent, fantastic? Yes, a nice fantasy of the 1920's where the hero of the day is an boxer Harry Stubbs. Not so great to look at and in fact you might be intimidated by him. He knows some strange people and very willing to u"

| Somewhere between 3 and 4, entertaining enough and some of the humour lands witth a high degree of originality on show , but the plotting just is not quite there. The characters -- with a couple of notable exceptions -- are much too much standard mod ...more | |

Well, maybe between three and four stars. High expectations are a dangerous thing, and after Lincoln in the Bardo another novel covering the same near-afterlife ground, but in a lighter vein, is a risky approach. The writing is solid, but the characte ...more |

“There is a story about a traveller chased by a tiger to the edge of an abyss. The man took hold of a vine and started to climb down when he saw an angry dragon at the bottom of the abyss, and when he looked up, the tiger was lashing its tail above. As he hung on, a mouse started to gnaw away at the vine he was clinging to. The man was ready for death when he noticed a wild strawberry growing next to him, so he plucked it. It was the sweetest he had ever tasted.”
