It’s that time again, folks. Another round of Beth vs. The Urban Fantasy Genre is coming your way. Today’s contender is WebMage by Kelly McCullough. Mind, the quote on the cover has it right: Science fantasy is really a better term for it. But Webmage can and does fit into the urban fantasy genre as well. Only there’s a distinctive lack of vampires, werewolves, and love dodecagons. In fact, WebMage is kind of like the illegitimate lovechild of The Dresden Files, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and some computer geek. And I mean that in a good way.  Read the rest.

Random FanLit Review:
    Midnight Never Come: Glittering courts: Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan... Marie Brennan has a lovely, elegant prose style that lends itself well to describing the glittering courts. There's a certain "iciness" to it, a certain emotional distance between reader and characters, at least at first. Lat...

Micki: The book trailer is short, but provocative. Interesting. I can't say that it is what makes me want to go out and read the book. It is the blurb writte...
