Enter into Neth Space and you will find thoughts and reviews of books and other media that fit the general definition of speculative fiction. This includes the various genres and sub-genres of fantasy, science fiction, epic fantasy, high fantasy, hard sci-fi, soft sci-fi, new weird, magical realism, cyberpunk, urban fantasy, slipstream, horror, alternative history, SF noir, etc. Thoughts are my own, I'm certainly not a professional, just an avid reader avoiding his day job.
Saw two copies of Low Town and the first thing I thought was, "Oh, double the mediocrity." Wasn't a fan of that book, but it seems I am in the minority.
The Morgan and Grossman both interest me, even though I thought The Steel Remains fought hard just to slip slightly above mediocre and I never quite warmed up to The Magicians (it was good though).
As a big fan of Morrowind, every time I see an Elder Scrolls book, I really want to read it just to see if it manages to claw its way out of media tie-in hell and turn out half decent. Alas, I don't have the money or the patience for it.
Oh, hey, let us know how Seduce Me in Flames turns out, eh? ;)
@James, Low Town intrigues me and your's is the first negative opinion I've seen on it (though admittedly I haven't looked hard). It sounds good, but I'm not sure it'll rise to the top of The Stack anytime soon.
Likewise on the Morgan and Grossman, though with each I still haven't gotten around to reading the first in the respective series, so these will wait a while.
Seduce Me in Flames is the of course the book I've been waiting on most this year, I recommend holding your breath for the forthcoming review.

Got some winners in there, but DRAGONGIRL sounds like a spoof title.
yep, a typical bunch. Some real winners, a handfull of maybes and a few obvious duds. Now if I could only find the time to read.
Holy crap, that is a gigantic pile of books!
