Refried Reviews #1

Welcome to what I shall, for the moment, call "Refried Reviews"

As some of you may know, I have a bimonthly column (okay, a sidebar) in Realms of Fantasy, which takes a brief look at YA fantasy and science fiction. With the permission of Carl Gnam of said magazine, I'm going to start reprinting the old columns here once the issue in question is off the stands. Since I'm coming up on a year's worth of these things, I figure I can repost a few before I hit the most recent one.
These aren't deep, philosophical, or as in-depth as my ones for SF Site, but hey, someone might find them interesting. So without further ado, here's my first installment. Due to space considerations, only half of it saw print, so the rest is new.
