unJon Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Reading The Romanovs: 1613-1918 by Monteriore. Good history so far. Fascinating dynasty. I knew very little about Russian history. Came out a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I thought the Romanovs came out in January or something? Or maybe that was just this side of the pond. Glad to hear it's decent though, I'm hoping to pick it up as Summer reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews: 'The Risen,' an absorbing new historical novel about Spartacus The Risen Is Historical Fiction for Fantasy Fans Will give an excerpt of that a try. Same for the Romanovs book that Unjon mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remember because there was a big display window of them in Waterstones when it was released. I think I'll be getting it in hardback though, as it seems like a book I'll want to be able to flip back and forth through more easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Anyone know anything about Too Like the Lightning? New SciFi debut, has a blurb from Steven Brust, which I don't think I've ever seen before. Looked interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part 2 coming out in December which is nice. I may try this, it sounds like the type of SF book I would enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maia Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The first 4 chapters have been posted on tor.com: http://www.tor.com/2016/04/12/excerpts-ada-palmer-too-like-the-lightning-chapters-1-and-2/ I am enjoying them, but then, I sometimes read 18th - 19th century novels for pleasure and I also loved Brust's "Paarfi Romances",so...

Well, I read this blog post, and Paul sold at least one book because of it. Hopefully it won't have the same problems the first two had, which is that the last ~10% of each was Paul pointing out how clever he is by showing us in extreme step-by-step detail what we had already witnessed as we read the freaking books. The premise of this one is too intriguing to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Anyone know anything about Todd Lockwood's debut? I like his art( I know a lot of people here don't) and its bout DRAGONS YAY DRAGONS but it has a suspiciously high amazon rating, and that always makes me pause, particularly when I've heard nothing about it in any other circles.

beniowa Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 It's been garnering good reviews, but I haven't taken the plunge myself yet. I like his art too and it has an interesting premise so I'll probably try it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
