Cultual Breaks by Brian Aldiss

Reviewed by Paul Kincaid

Brian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writerWhen he is on song, his style is forceful, disturbing and delectableBut he is a restless writerHe came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave, and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever sinceThat he is still experimenting now, 50years after his first appearance, is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels

The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander

Reviewed by Donna McMahon

With so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology, ancient China makes a refreshing changeThe landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real, and the author uses magic sparingly, in ways appropriate to her societyThis and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction

Straken by Terry Brooks
