Fantasy Book News

We’ve got a very healthy swath of reviews this week, maybe due to the fact that I spent the weekend in Serra do Cipo, so a few of these may reach back to before last weekend.  Either way, you can’t lose with reviews of books by Scott Lynch, Ken Scholes, Janny Wurts, Dan Brown and plenty more.  A pair of interviews with R.A. Salvatore and Andy Remic are featured, with Remic discussing his most recent novel Kell’s Legend.

Ever want to have your name featured in a fantasy novel?  Patrick Rothfuss is giving fans this opportunity.  Check out the link below for more details.

The Guild: Season 3, Episode 7

Plenty of quality reviews this week, including reviews of both books in Karen Miller’s Kingmaker, Kingbreaker series.  I like to follow up my own reviews with reviews by others if possible, in order to give everyone a fair sampling of opinion.  In addition to a few great reviews, of course we’ve got episode 5 of The Guild, which has to be my favorite so far in season 3.  Pong? Frickin’ hilarious.
