Jedediah and 1 other person liked Reactor Magazine's review of Kill All Wizards (The Barbaric Ledgers, #1): ""Was I expecting an irreverently-titled short novel about the adventures of an eyepatch-wearing barbarian warrior in a city of tetchy wizards, delirious gods, and complicated social hierarchies? I was not. Still, that’s a reasonable thumbnail sketch " Read more of this review »

Jedediah answered a question about The Master of Mazes: Okay.... so, I haven't been able to recall the name of this book OR the characters for years, but have always wanted to remember - and buy it. I kept asking people about "......... it's called Fern something" and all of them (+ seach engines) said "Ah, you're thinking about Ferngully". No. No, I am NOT thinking about Ferngully. THIS is the book I want to own again but specifically with the green cover. Help??? If I remember correctly, the animal friend you’re trying to find in the labyrinth is named Redfern.
