Review - Dominion of The Eth by J.C. Owens
My rating: 
For Melanian men, the ethereal, forest-dwelling Eth seem to exert some sort of strange force that drives them to want to possess and dominate the Eth sexually. Rylis encountered an Eth as a young boy. He secretly freed the slave rather than see it continue to be abused by his father. Years later, as commander of the Melanian army, Rylis leads his troops on a mission to investigate problems just outside the mysterious great forest.
Review - The Silent Paths of Night by David R. Slayton
My rating:
Warning: This book is hard to review without discussing the ending. I’ve tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum, but you have been warned. Raef has freed the goddess Phoebe so the moon once again is in the night skies, driving the tides and carrying the dead away to the underworld. But the world is still out of balance. The Hierarch of the sun god Hyperion still seems determined to plunge the world into chaos.
