Woken Furies (Takeshi Kovacs, Book 3) (Science Fiction)	84⁽⁶⁾
Published by Del Rey on May 29, 2007 First Published by Gollancz in 2005

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 95
While Kovacs' antisocial behavior, violent tendencies, and authority issues may make him self-destructive and a danger to society, they make one helluva a dark adventure for readers. Full Review Link

Percepliquis (The Riyria Revelations) (Fantasy)	80⁽¹⁾
Published by Ridan Publishing on January 16, 2012

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 80
Not only does Sullivan maintain the level of interest that he set in The Crown Conspiracy, but the story consistently gets better with each book, making Percepliquis everything that the end of an epic should be and more. Full Review Link

Broken Angels (Science Fiction)	75⁽⁷⁾
Published by Del Rey on March 02, 2004 First Published by Gollancz in 2003

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 90
Just like in Altered Carbon, Morgan sneaks in profound musings about what it is to be human. Full Review Link

The Wise Man's Fear (Kingkiller Chronicles, Book 2) (Fantasy)	85⁽¹⁸⁾
Published by DAW Hardcover on March 01, 2011

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 65
To give credit where it's due, there are some moments of exceptionally gifted writing in The Wise Man's Fear. Nonetheless, when I look back at my reading experience, what I recall most is boredom. Full Review Link

The Hunter from the Woods (Fantasy)	45⁽²⁾
Published by Subterranean on November 30, 2011 First Published by Subterranean Press in 2010

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 50
A couple of the tales are gems, but the overall collection left me frustrated and bored. Full Review Link

Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs, Book 1) (Science Fiction)	82⁽¹¹⁾
Published by Del Rey on February 28, 2006 First Published by Gollancz in 2002

Richard K. Morgan has the deep understanding of human nature and society that the best authors have. Full Review Link

The Coming of the Horseclans (Horseclans, Book 1) (Fantasy)	45⁽²⁾
Published by FUTURA PUBNS. on January 01, 1984 First Published by New York Pinacle 1975. in 1975

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 10
The Coming of the Horseclans lacks sophistication and uniqueness when compared to current books of similar genre. Full Review Link

Prince of Thorns (The Broken Empire, Book 1) (Fantasy)	81⁽⁸⁾
Published by Ace Hardcover on August 02, 2011

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 90
It's sarcastic, action-packed, and economical. Lawrence is one of those writers with an exceptional talent for saying a lot with few words. Full Review Link

Wizard's Bane (Fantasy)	80⁽¹⁾
Published by Baen on February 01, 1989

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 80
...a light-hearted, witty tale that's a perfect book to spend a leisurely afternoon with. Full Review Link

The Magician King (The Magicians, Book 2) (Fantasy)	85⁽⁹⁾
Published by William Heinemann on September 01, 2011 First Published by Viking in 2011

Fantasy Literature	Review Rating: 95
But if you can put all that aside and just take the events as they happen in A Dance with Dragons, there's no denying it's another grand adventure. Full Review Link
