Martin’s work on Suicide Kings, to books by David Anthony Durham, Lev Grossman, and another review of The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. Top it all off with the season finale of The Guild. Tis’ the season for MMORPG sitcom finales.

Fantasy Blogosphere: November 29, 2009

Posted on November 29, 2009 by Jeff Pelletier

We start this week with a review of Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erickson, which I just picked up to read myself recently. The reviews for The Gathering Storm continue to pile in, and a review from Jim Butcher’s fantasy series makes our cut this week. Throw in an interview with Joe Abercrombie and that’s a healthy full course of holiday fantasy. With arguably the funniest episode of The Guild yet this season, you can keep yourself busy while helping yourself to some turkey day leftovers.
