Comment on All good things… by Sutty

Sutty — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:53:59 +0000

A shock to hear this news and for the BFS a hard act to follow. Our first President was Ken Bulmer, who stood for two or three years I think. In those early days we probably had no idea how long we should expect a President to stay in office… Ramsey has more than “done ‘is due”. A great figurehead for the society who has been a loyal and vocal supporter and proponent for the society and the genre. Well done Ramsey!

If you like your fantasy with a vast cast and a varied and intricate landscape then this is definitely for you.” – Elloise Hopkins, British Fantasy Society [...]

Comment on Foundation. Book Review by standingstones

standingstones — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:50:36 +0000

Mercedes Lackey’s books are always full of too much exposition and thinkiness. They are often padded out with scenes where one character asks another questions, and this unnatural dialogue can carry on for pages. I find them very preachy at times as well.
Her first books were mildy entertaining, and unusual in subject matter for the era they were written in, although in restrospect they are quite maudlin. She’s one of those authors who I feel needs to write less and edit herself more.
