The Many Faces of Fantasy Fiction
by June Williams
© Buzzy Multimedia
“Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible. “Rod Serling creator of the Twighlight Zone
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”-Arthur C. Clarke’s third law
“Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.”-Larry Niven
Fantasy in fiction is hard to define because the boundaries keep blurring. When you see the words Fantasy Fiction many people conjure up imagery of faraway kingdoms. Something that looks 8th century, perhaps an even earlier period like the Bronze Age. Lands filled with castles, dragons, unicorns and all manner of wondrous mythical beasties. Realms populated with nobles and not-so-nobles, wizards, witches (not Wiccans), some dressed in silks, lace, furs and jewels others in tatters. Domains where mighty capped sword wielding warriors stand ready with loins girded to save damsels in distress or embark on quests at once noble and dangerous.

Blood Bound
A Mercy Thompson Novel
Book 2 - Review
by Patricia Briggs
ISBN-10: 0441014739
ISBN-13: 978-0441014736
One of the perils of a science fiction series-or any other media-is the so-called “sophomore slump”. The period when the audience is still in love with the world the character has created, yet it is obvious that sequel, or sequels, aren’t as good as the original. Novels plod along at a slower pace, and situations that used to be interesting no longer have the same charm that they used to have. Such is not the case with Patricia Brigg’s follow up to Moon Called. This paranormal action-fantasy still delivers a drop-kick of adrenaline to the senses, and that’s all that matters.

Raven’s Shadow

Fantasy books, in general, are hard to get into. Most lack the kind of non-stop action and suspense needed to suspend disbelief—especially for a male audience. Then there are the soap opera style plots, incestuous and convoluted in their design. While Patricia Brigg’s “Raven’s Shadow” is no different, it demonstrates the versatility that we have come to expect from the creator of the Mercy Thompson series. For that reason alone, the novel is worth reading, Read More→

Trilogies or any series in general, are fickle creatures. Ask anyone, and they all have different opinions of them. ‘I liked the original, but I hated the second book’ one person might say. ‘I hated the original, but I loved so and so in the final novel’. And inevitably, everyone seems to hate the sequels. While the Mercy Thompson series has matured over the past three years, with “Iron Kissed”, author Patricia Briggs proves that the paranormal action-fantasy still has heart-not to mention guts. And though the third book in the series finds Mercy coming to terms with new challenges in her life, she still finds herself sleuthing around in Washington State, only this time the mystery is much more personal than she’d like to admit.

Moon Called
A Mercy Thompson Novel
Book 1 - Review
by Patricia Briggs
Since the “Twilight” series became popular, a spate of novels and books based around vampires, werewolves, and the supernatural have wormed their way into bookstores across the country-not to mention the hearts of teens, tweens and anyone interested in walking on the wild side. Some are sappy romances, others testosterone-laden action fests. Few are worth reading beyond the first page. Few that is, except Patricia Briggs “Moon Called”.
