Book or Series Reviews at Troynovant;
listed by Title, A-B
At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.
Some books are reborn posthumously; for instance, Heinlein's Missed Bestsellers.
The engineer said, when they cheered his name,
"We're right on time, but this is yesterday's train.""The Rock Island Line"

despite, or because, error's name is Legion
