Reviews: Ariel Tachna, Michael Scott Rohan, Kate Mosse, Amanda Downum, Felix Gilman

I'm always saving reviews up until I have a bundle to post -- and then the bundle gets too big. Oops. My reviews on goodreads always get posted as I finish the books in question, though, so follow me there if you want more regular (and more complete) updates on my reading material.

Oh, and starting this update, I'm going to try and put a little description by the cut, since I'm guessing it might help people find the reviews of mine that they're more interested in.

( The Inventor's Companion, by Ariel Tachna: Steampunk gay romance with examination of slavery/prostitution/caste systems )

( The Anvil of Ice, by Michael Scott Rohan: Relatively generic fantasy )

( The Winter Ghosts, by Kate Mosse: Predictable mystery with ghosts )

( The Drowning City & The Bone Palace, by Amanda Downum: Political fantasy with necromancy and trans characters )

( The Half-Made World, by Felix Gilman: A sea of moral ambiguity in the key of steampunk and Western )
