Imagine the Cinderella fairytale without the sweet fairy godmother, that Prince Charming was a louse, and Cinderella was a witch capable of cruelty and spitefulness. Sharpe’s retelling of the classic tale includes lust, deception, and violence. Nothing you’d ever expect in the Cinderella myth, but still the heart of the story survives in this re-imagining for mature readers. . . .

A series of short stories loosely connected by the themes of Fantasy, Equality, Intelligence, Angst, and Idealism. Characters (particularly a small, black-haired young woman) and settings (particularly a place not unlike present-day Earth) may be shared. Plotlines may be continued. Morals may be made. For sure, they are all written by the same author. . . .

Doelan’s people are the gislers, who stop growing up when they turn fifteen. Nothing wrong with that, but Doelan, a child even by gisler standards, finds the idea strange. He simply cannot tell how old his ‘elders’ are. When other children find out about this they start making fun of him. Things get worse when he starts seeing goblins around . . .

Phantasia Celeste has spent her life living in an ethereal world of flying islands and pretty people with soul-wings – but, unlike Phantasia, other faeries don’t have white hair or diamond eyes and so, driven to understand her place in the world, she travels to the human world. The 31st Century, however, is not a friendly place. A millennia . . .

Naomi was in her kitchen, minding her own business, when all of a sudden she was chucked to another planet. As if that weren’t bad enough, she was attacked, betrayed, and married off against her will. That was on the first day. The next day was worse, much worse. Two words will suffice to describe the next day, and they . . .

The Eagle men have never been attacked before. Their palace floats high above any attackers. The only other flying creatures that would harm them are the goblins, and they hide in their caves from the sun. That all changes when a dark cloud blocks off the sky. Kareen and her husband Terin prepare for battle, but they wonder if they . . .
Lechery, debauchery, total annihilation, blood and mud―the usual stuff as two prime movers contend for power. Not power to do anything in particular―threaten, coerce, destroy: illuminate a city, tighten the skeins of a siege engine, or wind up the bowels. She was the Fata Morgana, Queen Mother of the World, and had built herself a love slave to assuage . . .

The journal of the griffin, Angharad Godkin: it was her plan to retire peaceably from the army when her sovereign, the Godson, sends her to a barely pacificed province, there to replace its unloved governor. But the journey to Shraeven’s capital may make a traitor, heretic and messiah out of her, if she’s not careful . . . . . .
At the time of this writing, City of Night is just getting started—with five parts of chapter 1 complete—but I think it has the potential to be good. It is young adult urban fantasy, full of teenaged angst and hints of magic at every turn. The world against which the protagonists seem set feels large and dangerous, full of inertia [more . . .]
Elijah Valentine is a mage, and apparently the last of his kind. He’s been around since at least the time of George Washington, doing what he can to see the big picture and keep the world from getting too out of control.
