An avid sci-fi and fantasy reader who sometimes does historical fiction or even mainstream.

You might notice that most of my reviews are 5 stars. That's because if I start reading a book that doesn't engage me, I stop reading it. Life is too short. I've realized that it's not fair to review a book I haven't read and nobody really needs to hear why I didn't get into a book especially when they might like it.

My goals with reviews are to be brief and give other potential readers an idea of why they might like the book. I leave it to the marketing people and other reviewers to describe the plots.

Martin Scott: Thraxas and the Dance of Death (2002, Little, Brown Book Group Limited)

Review of 'Thraxas and the Dance of Death' on 'Storygraph'

Complications involving sorcery prevent Thraxas from drinking and eating and Makri is accused of theft. Spoiler They work it all out in the end and their town survives to face being over-run by the orcs to another day.
