    • Otters In Space on July 12, 2011
      star star star star star
      Smart, funny. A must read, especially for those living in this world with our furry friends. Dearly hoping this will become a long series of otters (and cats and dogs) in space.
    • The Princess & the Penis on July 22, 2011

      Blisteringly funny. A must read. Difficult to read aloud to others in any sort of continuous manner. Get your kindle to read it perhaps. Maybe it can do it without laughing.
    • The Wizard's Sword on July 29, 2011
      star star star star star
      With a level of creation far greater than anything I've read in quite a while, this is a perilous journey through several fully realized worlds packed with their own fearsome creatures, unique languages, and excruciatingly diverse cultures. Epic.

      Creative as ever. A dying sun, a relationship on the rocks, a life to rebuild... This is a moving piece from Mary with a message of hope even in disaster.
    • Treespeaker on Sep. 23, 2011
      star star star star
      Jakan's people live a peaceful existence at one with their world and their forest, but that is threatened with the arrival of a mysterious stranger. The village 'treespeaker' and spiritual leader, Jakan, must battle great loss, both of love and the respect of his peers, to save his world, his people' and his beloved forest. Meanwhile his son, Dovan, must find his place within a troubled land. This is a very refreshing tale that expressed themes which I found close to my heart. It is not a story of great battle and traditional heroes in shining armour, but rather the struggle of real people in a world rich in culture and its own unique and subtle magic. The story starts at a steady pace allowing the reader to know the well rounded and sometimes flawed characters well, and yet it is quite a page turner once the intrigue begins to build. I did get briefly lost amongst the many names early on in the piece as there were quite a few, but this was not a problem as the novel progressed and the key players became obvious. Other than that I felt this was well written and well presented, which is always tricky in the electronic format that I read the work in. I am kind of hoping there might be a sequel as there seems to be a seed left there that seems very promising and I would love to learn more of the wider world outside the forest. If not, then I'm sure the author has something else special on the way.
