The writing is as electrifying as their powers, keeping you glued to each twist and turn. Stafford’s narration brings each character to life, adding an extra layer of excitement to this action-packed adventure.

This is the first book I’ve read of Kimberly Rogers and I enjoyed it. It was a classic fantasy romance tale, based off the fairy tale ‘Beauty and the Beast’. But there’s a twist.

The Fae Lord Faustin is slowly turning into a beast, and he has a goblin tinkerer who replaces his non-working parts with mechanical ones. Quite horrible, actually.

This curse is thanks to a hag who cursed him because he didn’t do what she wanted.

Then for the female lead character, Solange Durant, who’s an escapee from the French Revolution (the novel begins in 1796). There, they persecute people with magic. Solange is a changling, half fae, half human.

Desperate for work and pursued by anti-magic mob, Solange finds her way to Lord Faustin’s decrepit estate. That’s when the novel really begins.

Reading this little novella was as delightful as eating a bite of baklava. The heroine, Wanda, with her familiar dog/corgi Wumble, is a careful and diligent student of alchemy. She’s not rich like the talented fellow student Lenar, or highly learned like the teacher Alaroz. But she has almost a perfect memory and is exceedingly skillful at following directions. Further, through her bond with her dog, her sense of smell is highly acute, which is perfect for finding and preparing ingredients.

When preparing her first portion, she is totally absorbed in the process, and all else fades. When her product is evaluated, she finds she has highly undervalued herself–along with the teacher and the rest of the class.

You can read this little progressive fantasy in a single sitting. Enjoy your bite of sweetness.

Based on the title and the cover, I originally thought the detective was going to be a zombie back in the 30s or 40s. That wasn’t the case, but it was still a hilarious amateur detective story and I loved the absurdity of it all.

It’s a short read (or listen, since I listened to the audiobook), but is packed with Sam in crazy situations with all sorts of zombies. His string of good luck is as unlikely as the conundrums he finds himself involved in, but somehow it works for him.

Phil Blechman was the perfect choice for Sam’s character. Lauren Testerman did a great job channeling Lisa, the poor woman who has to manage Sam and all his antics.

Delightful! I’ve been a Keith Laumer fan since the 70s. ‘Retief’s War’ was contained in here and I re-read it for the first time in 40 years. It’s still a funny look at diplomacy and interstellar, inter-species politics–while also commenting on human politics.

But, in addition to this overdue re-read, there were a plethora of short stories, most of which I had never read before. Some were laugh-out-loud funny and others made me smile, but all were good.

I still say: start reading Laumer with Retief’s War.
