jpskewedthronePaul Genesse just posted his review of The Cracked Throne at Amazon.com. It's rather good, so I decided to post it all here:
Great book! The Cracked Throne continues the hard-edged and intriguing story of The Skewed Throne with our heroine Varis, once gutterscum, but now the Mistress of Amenkor. The first chapter is a shocker and the book keeps your interest along the way as Varis learns how difficult it is to sit on the Skewed Throne. The last 150 pages of The Cracked Throne are so tense and filled with danger that I couldn't stop reading. I find so few books that really grab me and this is one of them. I simply could not put the book down and had to find out what happened at the end no matter that it was way past my bedtime. The twists and turns make it all worth while. I loved the first person point of view, and with Varis able to get into other character's heads and experience what they are experiencing made it even cooler.
Joshua Palmatier has created an extremely compelling main character, Varis, and put her into a fascinating storyline. Her hard-edged mentality and survival instincts make her an unforgettable character.
If any of you readers post a review somewhere, or see a review of the book somewhere, drop me a line. At this point, I know of Harriet Klausner's review, Paul's of course, and Publisher's Weekly. Remember, the best way to help out the author's you love is to tell your friends, so when you finish that great book, let someone else know! And now with the internet, you can do that by posting a review on LJ or Myspace or wherever you blog, or on your personal website, or in person through, you know, actual conversation.
Thanks for the review, Paul!
