Something Red: A Novel por Douglas Nicholas

You can definitely tell the author is a poet. His phrasing and wording are absolutely lovely; at times chilling, at times thrilling with how well he describes human, and sometimes animal, experiences of the world.
To those who think the book is slow: I often skim right through descriptions in books, and rarely actually read what people, their clothes, the landscape are meant to look like. In this book, however, with this author, I found myself intentionally slowing my eyes to savor the words. Very few authors have had this effect on me, and I am always delighted to find another!… (más)

Throne of Darkness por Douglas Nicholas

Not sure if it was just my mood, but I felt like the descriptions of historical ways of living / buildings, etc were a little more tedious in this book than in the previous ones.
That being said, I still really, really enjoyed this book. I love the lyrical bent that having a poet as a novel's author brings. Still so many times when I had to read passages aloud just to hear the beauty of the words.

The Wicked: A Novel por Douglas Nicholas

A very fitting sequel to The Red. I especially enjoyed the character development of the young ones, finding their places in the world's and in their family. I do hope there is more to come!

Something Red: A Novel por Douglas Nicholas

This book just was not for me. I like a book to be descriptive enough that I can picture it in my bed, but I don't need it to be overly descriptive of a bunch of stuff that I don't really need to know anything about. This book was just too overly descriptive for me and I couldn't get into it so I have DNF'd it.
