Personal Review guide to how I give Star ratings
The following is a personal guide for myself on how I will give reviews/star ratings on novels (I will primarily be reviewing Anthropomorphic fiction but may tweak for other genres)

Amateur or broken prose (clunky, hard to read, riddled with telling).

Plot incoherent, no clear hook, charac Read more of this blog post »

Lifeless DNF at the start of chapter 4. This one isn't even worth a critical review. I will also add the asking price on Kindle is $20USD. This novel is the perfect example of what a book with no Soul reads like. Unlike Embers at Eveningfjord that sta ...more |

A book with no Soul. This book came out of the gates really strong. The opening chapters felt so grounded in place, with characters who had quirks and a touch of life to them. Somewhere around Chapter 4, the storytelling loses its soul. What begins as ...more |

L.E. Bendon's review
of
Austringer's Wrath (Gifts of the Auldtree #2):
"I won't spend time describing the world, the premise or the writing style, because it is entirely consistent with that of this book's predecessor -The Starlight Jewel, and you absolutely will need to have read that in order to enjoy this one. Helpful"

| I only picked up Watership Down in the last two months. Until recently, I wasn’t even aware of it. My reason for reading (and I tend not to be a reader) was research. I’ve been looking for examples of anthropomorphic fiction done well, and this novel ...more | |

A Promising Premise Undermined by Weak Execution I came into this book with high hopes as the amazon reviews suggested an adult Redwall, or Disney's Robin Hood meets Game of Thrones. I've been searching for an Anthro Fantasy full of rich lore, culture ...more |
