Book

The Judging Eye (2009)

I was terribly disappointed by the third book of the previous trilogy, so this represents a return to form for Bakker. Plusses: less Kellhuss and more Achamian; more of the back-story from the First Apocalypse.Minusses: parts of it seem rather derivative. In particular, while the the pursuit th...

Book

The White Luck Warrior (2011)

There is much to like and much to dislike in this series, much and more of it in this single volume. WLW may be the best of both trilogies. The story flips back and forth between three main threads. Achamian and Mimara's remains my favorite, and the tragic Nonman Cleric featured heavily there. Th...

Book

Neuropath (2008)

It was a very interesting book, with a lot of philosophical questions, like what is consciousness?, what is the mind?, is there free will if everything that we think is created by neuronal processes?, also the story is engaging and it has some unexpected turns. It's easy to feel sympathy for the ...

Book

Disciple of the Dog (2000)

An amusing mystery piece, through and through. A good mix of thrills, humor, and personality. Not my favorite entry into the genre - certain aspects of the main character's personality got more than a touch grating at times (they were supposed to, by the by) - but it was a well-written, engaging ...

The Darkness That Comes Before (2005)

Its jacket covered with hyperbolic praise, this book intrigued me enough that I borrowed it from our local library. Reviewers compare it, ecstatically, to both the Song of Ice and Fire and the Lord of the Rings, though in some measure surpassing both of them. Well, comparisons to LotR are de rige...

Book

The Thousandfold Thought (2007)

This review applies to all three volumes of Bakker's 'The Prince of Nothing' series. First off, let me say that I'm really impressed with what Bakker achieved here. I'm reminded of something Guy Kay said when asked why he wrote The Fionavar Tapestry about wanting to prove that there was still lif...

Book

The Warrior Prophet (2005)

Many threads of the previous entry to the series were brought together at its conclusion, and this volume continues this rather original story with a more unified and committed spirit. It may be exactly because it was more straightforward and linear that I found The Warrior Prophet somewhat simpl...
