| Introduction | My love for speculative fiction started with fantasy in the late 80's when I first read The Lord of the Rings and Dragonlance Chronicles. This spread to science fiction after reading Dune and the Foundation series. My interest waned a bit when the fantasy genre was becoming too repetitive and unoriginal. In the late 90's, I read A Game of Thrones for the first time and noticed a change coming in the wind. I have been hooked ever since. This blog is a review of works I would like to recommend to others who would like to explore this fantastic genre. |
