The Dream of Perpetual Motion (Science Fiction) 69(3)
Published by St. Martin's Press on March 02, 2010
  
Strange Horizons Review Rating: 60
Beneath the novel's adventurous exterior, you realise, beats a heart that is--depending on your temperament--either touchingly or frustratingly traditional. But either way, Harold is worth hearing.

Chasing the Dragon (Quantum Gravity, Book 4) (Fantasy) 40(1)
Published by Gollancz on November 19, 2009
First Published by Pyr in 2009
  
Strange Horizons
As playful as it often is, to my mind Quantum Gravity is at its heart about the relationship between individuals and the world: about finding and owning and telling your story in spite of the world.

The Other Lands (Acacia, Book 2) Image
The Other Lands (Acacia, Book 2) (Fantasy) 80(3)
Published by doubleday on September 15, 2009
  
Strange Horizons Review Rating: 80
Acacia is an epic not in thrall to its ancestors; its elaborations feel both organic and fresh, even when they (in most cases, superficially) conform to familiar templates.

Published by Mariner Books on March 02, 2009
First Published by Harvill Secker in 2008
  
The Internet Review of Science Fiction
for me, at least, The Invention of Everything Else walks its tightrope to its end, and usually finds the words to link wonder to our lived experience.
