Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-19 00:00:00 Lavern Mcdilda Threshold is officially listed as a standalone novel. However, if you ever have any intention of reading the Darkglass Mountain Trilogy by the same author, you might want to pick this one up first or have every single last plot point ruined for you. I've never actually cracked the spine on this book, but I can tell you every major character/event/conflict in it. So, despite my better judgement, I'm marking the book as read and rating it anyway. The same goes with Behind the Hanging Wall. I wish they had been listed honestly somewhere as prequels. As a side note, Darkglass also has major spoilers for the 6 Wayfarer/Axis books, so you might want to read those first as well. Luckily, I already had.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-04 00:00:00 Carlos Pacis I read this book a long time ago, when I was a teenager with already a lot of fantasy under my belt. Unfortunately, that meant I didn't enjoy this book at all. Filled with cliches, blatant errors (you don't call elementalists Necromancers, you just don't, not without showing ignorance of the genre and/or disrespecting your readers). The core romantic relationship in this book is (unintentionally) based around Stockholm Syndrome, and there really isn't anything surprising in here. Sorry, can't please everyone.
