Swords of the Horseclans (Horseclans #2)
By Robert Adams
Review by Dave Felts
Rating: (2.5/5)
While I would classify the first volume a being close to heroic fantasy, albeit in a future apocalyptic setting, this second volume in the series, Swords of the Horseclans, is more military fantasy. Book 1 ends with Milo completing his odyssey of leading the Horseclans from the high plains of the middle use to the eastern seaboard, where he establishes them in their new home and forms the Confederation.

A Clash of Kings is the second volume in George R. R. Martins series A Song of Ice and Fire, and a follow up to the popular A Game of Thrones.. This review contains some spoilers, as it's necessary to talk about some of the events and characters from the first book. If you haven't read the first book but plan to, DON'T READ THIS REVIEW.

It's a military action/adventure novel, quite a popular one, judging by the Amazon reviews.
I really enjoyed it.

Hi Josh,
Thanks - I'll update the review
Not to nitpick, but the book title is A Game of Thrones, not Game of Thrones.


Book Review: Full Dark, No Stars, by Stephen King
Full Dark, No Stars, by Stephen King

Year First Published: 2010

It's been long while since I've read a Stephen King book. I think the last one was one of his Dark Tower books, and I couldn't tell you when that was. I thought The Stand was fantastic and have read it 3 or 4 times, but not in a long while. It's one of my favorites, but then I have a weakness for post-apocalyptic stuff. I remember some of his short stories too, though I couldn't tell you any titles. I haven't deliberately decided to avoid his stuff, I just kind of.... stop noticing it I guess. Plus his books tend to be very long and require a hefty investment of time to finish. And I haven't been reading as much as I used to.
