Hi,
I'm Mihai Adascalitei, I'm a passionate reader and I run the blog Dark Wolf's Fantasy Reviews. I post reviews to my recent readings, interviews and some thoughts of mine.

Hey Mihai, good to have you here. :-) I also run a blo, reviewing and interviewing, the odd thought here and there. :-) Your blog is pretty cool, I like the layout and you've got many insightful viewpoints. :-) I'm reading The Name of the Wind at the moment, and I'll be posting my own review soon.

Hope you enjoy your stay! :-)
Dave

Thank you both very much :) You are most kind.

Hagelrat, you have very nice blogs and links too :)

Dave, "The Name of the Wind" is a very good novel, I really enjoyed it. I wait to see your review too :)

I finished "Bitterwood" by James Maxey. Depsite its flaws and the fact that I would have liked the world-building to be more developed, the novel is pretty interesting and it's an entertaining read. I posted my full review of the novel on my blog.

My second guest for the Weekly Fantasy Art is one young and very talented artist, Kirsi Salonen.
I had a wonderful time making this interview and I really like her works. I like her works so much because her works resemble the traditional art of painting. I believe that she has a bright future with such talent.

I finished "Night of Knives" by Ian C. Esslemont. I have to admit that it is my first encounter with the Malazan Empire, but that is because I only bought Steven Erikson's novels this year. But Ian C. Esslemont opened up my appetite for more Malazan world. I liked "Night of Knives" although some places and events are unfamiliar to me. And I will definitely read it again after I finish the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series.

This week guest on "Weekly Fantasy Art" is the Polish artist, Tomasz Jedruszek.

This week guest on my Weekly Fantasy Art is Lauren K. Cannon, another very young and very talented artist. Her work will be featured for the first time on the cover of a novel, "The Warded Man" ("The Painted Man" in UK) by Peter V. Brett, which will be published by Del Rey next year.

I finished "Empire in Black and Gold" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. The novel is not entirely without flaws, but I like it. I believe that Adrian Tchaikovsky made a pretty good job with his created world, with a wonderful crossing between humans and insects and with the presence of interesting machines and automatons.
I will look forward for the next novels in the series and I hope that the world-building will be further developed, because it is interesting.

My next read is "Bloodheir" by Brian Ruckley.

as always, love your blog and reviews.

[Mihai, Dark Wolf]

Thank you, Hagelrat. I'm glad you like it, that means a lot to me :)

This week guest on my blog is Philip Straub. He is a well known artist in the digital art communities. He worked on many projects and among others he was the Art Director for NCSoft and EA. I find very interesting his future project, Utherworlds, an original novel of about 60,000 words, nearly 70 full color illustrations, two unique written languages.

I'm not familiar with all these fantasy artist. But as always in the past weeks you presented an very interesting artist. Especially the Utherworld project by Philip Straub aroused my interest.
I look forward to go live of Utherworld.com in December.
