Fiction Retrospectives

All posts related to my fiction retrospectives are compiled here.  Click an image or link to go to the post.  Hover to see the description.

My retrospectives are centered around fantasy or science fiction series that I read when I was younger and which had a great influence on me, particularly as a writer myself. There are things I want to say about them, I feel this is the right time to say them, and I don't want these works to be forgotten over time.  The posts are generally my own personal commentary on each series.

Each retrospective will probably have an Overview, Conclusion and posts on each volume in the series.

Note: these retrospectives contain spoilers for each entire series from the very beginning.

Be wary about reading them if you don't want the entire series spoiled for you.  Some of these series are pretty old, and the Statute of Limitations on spoilers has run out for me.  You have been warned.
