Black Sun Rising, by C.S. Friedman
Black Sun Rising could have been a much more affecting book had it been a couple of hundred pages shorter. But the sheer weight of philosophical speculation was more than enough to get me to take a second look. I don't predict that anybody will actually enjoy this novel, but then, the works of C.S. Friedman are for those who prefer to be disturbed. Read the full review by Becky Parkhurst.
This trilogy takes place on Erna, a planet colonized as a last resort due to the natural magic force called the fae. Erna is doomed to be taken over by a demon unless Damien, the goody-two-shoes priest, and Gerald Tarrant, the planet's biggest bad guy, can figure out how to stop the enslavement of the human race.

Luck in the Shadows is a standard bit of skullduggery (wow, I've always wanted to use that word in a sentence!) that should appeal to fans of Robert Jordan and David Eddings. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
The second book in the Dance of the Rings trilogy, Ring of Intrigue doesn't live up to its name. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
Ring of Lightning is the opening book in the Dance of the Rings trilogy, which introduces a standard medieval-type fantasy world with a small twist. Power in this world is generated in an unusual way and controlled by an unusual (but dysfunctional) family, the Rhomandis. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
Another adventure romp from Lynn Flewelling, author of the well-received Luck in the Shadows. Lots of blood and guts in this one. And hey, Alec gets laid! Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
