Don’t annoy the supernatural: A review of The Wild Ways

December 19, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Wild Ways from Tanya Huff and a sequel to The Enchantment Emporium. In the first book we meet a magical family called the Gales who command enough respect that the supernatural tends to leave them alone; unless they’re really powerful. The Wild Ways follows one of my favourite characters from the book, Charlotte Gale, […]

Sex and Storms: A review of The Enchantment Emporium

June 9, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The flourish of pink text that read “The Enchantment Emporium” on the front of the book reminded me of the made for the female audience romance novels I sometimes see during my trips through airports. Not my type of book. The Enchantment Emporium, however, is a Tanya Huff book. I know Huff from the Confederation […]

Impossible POW: A review of Valour’s Trial

April 12, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Valour’s Trial (or, I suppose, Valor Trial to go by the spelling used in some parts of the world) is another in Tanya Huff’s Confederation series. I really like how easy Huff makes reading. Her books can be layered, clever and are rarely predictable but she manages to make each one a breeze to read […]

Damn drones: A review of The Heart of Valour

February 3, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Heart of Valouris the third book in Tanya Huff’s Confederation sci-fi series. We follow a bold as brass and highly effective female NCO as she leads her troop of alien allies against the might of The Others. I really liked the first book, I wasn’t sure about The Better Part of Valour but this […]

The Big Yellow mystery: A review of The Better Part of Valour

February 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Better Part of Valour is the sequel to Valour’s Choice in Tanya Huff’s Confederation Novel series. I really enjoyed Valour’s Choice and sure enough the opening book proves to be almost impossible. I didn’t enjoy sequel quite as much. A step or two down from the first book is still safely in the “good […]

Humanity as the aggressive aliens: A review of Valour’s Choice

January 11, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was cautious. I had recently read and thoroughly enjoyed Tanya Huff’s werewolf and mage drama The Silvered and now found myself with Tanya Huff’s military sci-fi Valour’s Choice. I like sci-fi but fantasy seems to have an easier job of pleasing me. I was cautious because I was struggling to believe Valour’s Choice would […]

War and marriage with werewolves: A review of The Silvered

December 11, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

An empire armed with fledgeling technology; rifles, basic artillery, air balloons and even early cameras invades a nearby country ruled by mages and werewolves. The set up for Tanya Huff‘s The Silvered seems to offer a little for everyone and be designed to lure in gamers. I must admit that the mashup of a setting […]
