Book Review: Icefalcon's Quest by Barbara Hambly

( Reviews may contain spoilers, as always. )

Print date: 1998 (20s: 1, 60s: 1, 70s: 1, 80s: 2, 90s: 1, 00s: 2)
Page count: 356 (3178 total)

Verdict: Keep. (4/8 keepers)

Next book due: 4/10

Rejected: Whipping Star by Frank Herbert

Rationale: Characters are flat, universe is full of unnecessary science-fiction nuspeak. At best I would read this book and go "enh" at the end.

Page count: 20 (3198 total)

Verdict: Toss. (4/9 keepers)

Rejected: Hobgoblin by John Coyne

Rationale: This plot is one that makes me want to throw things at walls: kid delves into madness, thinks fantasy games are real, finds out they are real, saves the day, gets over fantasy. Characterization appears to be cardboard, and I already hate the lead.
