Aubrey Sitterson is a writer who’s been knocking around the fringes for a while now doing series that either haven’t had a whole lot of success, or that should’ve had more success than they did.  The two “No One Left to Fight” miniseries I’ve talked about before definitely fall into that category and I’ve been […]

It’s standard issue for things to be bad in Maika Halfwolf’s life.  Yet, the last time we saw her, things were especially dire.  That’s because she, and anyone else who had touched the mask of the Shaman-Empress had been possessed by another member of Zinn’s race:  The Defiled.  Which means that, as this volume opens, […]
