Review: Iron Dawn

Iron Dawn by Matthew Woodring Stover
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book started out somewhat slow, but it had some good action scenes and character moments.

I also liked how it was set in an altered history, referencing various battles and such from pre-A.D. times and just adding magic or subtle changes to suit the story.

Overall, I recommend this to fantasy fans who want something more down-to-earth than your typical dungeon raids and dragon-slaying.

Decent little anthology that should appeal to fans of "The Twilight Zone" and its ilk.

Review: Badass: The Birth of a Legend: Spine-Crushing Tales of the Most Merciless Gods, Monsters, Heroes, Villains, and Mythical Creatures Ever Envisioned

Badass: The Birth of a Legend: Spine-Crushing Tales of the Most Merciless Gods, Monsters, Heroes, Villains, and Mythical Creatures Ever Envisioned by Ben Thompson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think I preferred the first book in the series (based on real-world people) more than this one, but Thompson's style is still an entertaining read.

Review: The Bojeffries Saga

The Bojeffries Saga by Alan Moore

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Imagine if a downplayed Addams Family/Munsters did a scathing societal satire of modern English (and to a lesser extent, most Western nations) society. In a rare instance of Alan Moore writing humor, "The Bojeffries Saga" is quite funny, even though I'm sure I missed a few England-centric references.
