What is "ace" in this context? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.T. Phipps Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Interestingly, I've decided to send my books to one of the reviews. I'd be interested in their perspective on my choices. Of course, I think any book which does not include flaws or prejudices and have the heroes as flawless misses the point of literature. Books are not propaganda. At least they shouldn't be....even if I agree with the majority of views expressed by commentators in the abstract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.T. Phipps Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I just trust the Booknest.EU, Bookwraiths, and the Fantasy Book Critic for my reviews. It's a trifecta of my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Wertzone and Pat's Fantasy Hotlist are the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I haven't read Dinosaur Lirds yet. Abd I disagree a lot with pat on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
