Welcome, Potential Reader! You may be asking if the blogosphere really needs another book blog, especially one that, for the most part, focuses on fantasy novels. I of course think that the answer is yes. This is because I'm not going to write about new releases, or at least not only about new releases. I read a lot, fairly indiscriminately; my to-read pile currently ranges from Georgette Heyer to Hermann Hesse. It is my mission to write, in at least a little depth, about everything I read this year.
On Ratings: I have trouble rating, especially on a five star scale. I'll use seven stars here: Seven, is, of course, "Love;" six, "Great enthusiasm," five, "Great," four "good," three "competent but nothing to write home about," two, "poor but not awful," one, "irredeemable." Both extremes are rare. Further, I have trouble rating, say, Magister Ludi and The Black Moth. Certainly Magister Ludi is a better book; but I enjoyed both a comparable amount, though in different ways. I'll try to break my ratings down into the components of my enjoyment.
