I, Demon chronicles the life and (rather tumultuous) times of a nameless demon exiled by both heaven and hell. It is recounted in the first person by the demon himself after he is summoned (via a computer program) into a 21st century basement by a perky blonde with a mysterious agenda.
January was another great month of received books for us. Need a suggestion for a great novel? Look no further! Here’s what we’re looking at from January, 2012.
I’m honestly surprised that this is Daniel O’Malley’s debut novel. He’s got a strong voice and ability to make characters come alive. And that’s good since the ending leaves open the possibility of further adventures with Myfanwy Thomas.
How many times have you read something and thought: ‘I’ve seen this before’ or ‘how cliche?’ We’ve all been there, right? I think this occurs most often because writers play it safe. They’re afraid to take risks.
Books are powerful. Fantasy is powerful. I think books are tools and fantasy a medium filled with rich possibilities.
Need a last minute gift idea? Check out the titles we received in November and December! Most wonderful time of the year, indeed. Titles from Resnick, Sawyer, Sanderson, Mayer and more.
Gregory Pellechi introduces us to Small Demons and examines the impact of product placement on literature: the good, the not so good, and the potentially ugly.
In a recent blog post, author/podcaster Mur Lafferty was lamenting her difficulty with reading classic SF and how hard it is to admit that to others in the field because the classics are so revered. While the comments quickly frustrated her and went in directions which led her to cut them off, the final comment really sparked something for me I’d like to discuss here.
One could summarize The Magicians as follows: it is a coming of age novel in which a boy discovers the magical lands he read about and longed for as a child are real. This assessment would certainly be true, but it would also do a grave injustice to this complex and compelling novel.
