EW Reviews Fantasy
The April 28/May 5 issue of Entertainment Weekly offers some brief reviews of fantasy books. Here’s a snippet.
In the Eye of Heaven by David Keck
Lowdown: Though breaking no new ground, Keck creates fantastical drama from solid formula.
Grade: B-
Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik
Lowdown: The second book in Novik’s trilogy is less revelatory but still beats with meticulously crafted wonder.
Grade: B+
The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue
Lowdown: An ingenious, spirited allegory for adolescent angst, aging, the purpose of art, etc., that digs deep.
Grade: A
Proven Guilty: A Novel of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
Lowdown: A fast and furious adventure, with winking nods to Bugs Bunny and john Carpenter.
Grade: B+
