Books of 2012: Songs of the Earth by Elspeth Cooper
Instead of writing one huge post of all the books I’m looking forward to in 2012, I decided to highlight some of these books in their own posts throughout the rest of this year.

Songs of the Earth is the first book […]

After reading her review, I immediately went to add it to my mile-long wish list on Amazon. When I went to add it, I noticed […]

Today I am pleased to have a guest post by Michael J. Sullivan on the topic of fantasy tropes. I just reviewed his Theft of Swords yesterday and found it a very enjoyable traditional fantasy. In this post, I think Michael makes some really good points about tropes in fantasy and what people often mean when they say they are tired of fantasy tropes.
