With Realms of Fantasy making its final round of farewells, the last issue, cover-dated December 2010, is currently available online only on the website.

Even before that, my column from this issue was cut for space considerations, so it would have been online anyway. When we got the word that the magazine was doomed, I’d already turned in my column for the next issue. Thus, I present an amazing bonanza of YA reviews, three columns’ worth of the good, the bad, and the awesome.
