Published by Screaming Dreams with Exposure Publishing on March 01, 2007
  
Stephen Hunts SF Crownest Review Rating: 40
This is author Bob Lock's first novel and I have to say he hasn't really learnt the art of pace.

Consorts of Heaven (Science Fiction) 55(4)
Published by Gollancz on June 01, 2009
  
Stephen Hunts SF Crownest Review Rating: 60
'Consorts Of Heaven' does illustrate that author Jaine Fenn is a good wordsmith but this lacks a lot of the depth of her first novel, 'Principles Of Angels'.

This book is one big firefight steeped in long pieces of dialogue leaving you absolutely not caring whose side you should be supporting or who gets killed off.

Stephen Hunts SF Crownest Review Rating: 60
Irvine does do an excellent job with creating characters and the book is a definite page-turner to see what happens next and doesn't pull any punches most of the time.
