Comments on: Winterbirth http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/fantasy/winterbirth/ reading material to get excited about Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:08:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Matthew Dyer http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/fantasy/winterbirth/comment-page-1/#comment-21018 Matthew Dyer Thu, 15 Nov 2007 20:07:54 +0000 http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/fantasy/winterbirth/#comment-21018 This review sums up this book perfectly. It's a political fantasy novel that follows in the tradition forged by George Martin, but (IMO) significantly better written. The narrowed scope provides time to actually develop characters and settings. This was a spur of the moment, saw it at the bookstore purchase for me, and I was happily surprised. I'm not aching for the next installment, but you can be damn sure I'll pick it up when I see it on my local bookstore's shelf. If the next book follows in the steps of the first, I think quite a few people will be buying all three of these books by the time the third one comes out. This review sums up this book perfectly.
