Novik had created some worlds I’ve really enjoyed. I was excited to get her anthology of short stories. Most of these have been previously published throughout the years, but I hadn’t read any of them previously so I was intrigued. Like most anthologies of short stories, some I really enjoyed and others are just so […]
Coven of Consequence is the second book, and final(?) book in the Eternal Enemies series/duology. We are back with Quiet, our grumpy witch hiding cute little insect helpers in her pockets. That might be strange but they go to a void space so don’t worry about all the little creepy crawlies. And Rorick, not just […]
Sunderworld Vol 1: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry is the first book in a new series following Leopold, an incredibly ordinary guy just trying to figure out what the next steps in his life are going to be. He has no plan, is completely mediocre in every way and sometimes sees things that aren’t […]
I don’t know what is going on…recently it seems like I’ve found a few more books that have angel/demon dynamics in them. I won’t say that Celestial Academy: Essence the first book in the Afterworld series has large religious intonations, because it definitely does not. It is more like various teams playing on the court. […]
The Dragon in Winter is the final book in the Kagen the Damned series. Like the endings to most epic grimdark fantasies we don’t wrap everything in tidy little bows and happy endings. But we do get an ending and I will say overall it is a satisfying conclusion to this journey. “We’re all pretending to […]
Queen of Dreams is the second book of the Bound to Fire and Steel series focused on the thruple of Ash, Sanci and Zanya. I’m not always a fan of threesome relationships, but I like the way this one was done, it completely worked for me. There is definitely more that could be done in […]
Full Speed to a Crash Landing is the first book of a planned trilogy, the Chaotic Orbits series. It follows our Heroine Ada as she narrowly escapes death after her ship loses all power and communication; there also seems to be a three foot hole in the side of it. Still from the beginning it […]
T Kingfisher is on my automatic buy now list and has been since I first discovered the magic of her fantasy novels. A Sorceress Comes to Call is a loose retelling of The Goose Girl, which I have never read, so cannot compare the two. Kingfisher again did a fantastic job of drawing me into […]
Tangled Up in You is a retelling of Disney’s Tangled and is the fourth book in the Meant to Be series. Each book in this series highlights a different Disney version of a fairytale, all by different authors, so you do not have to read them in order. I have really enjoyed other books by […]
It has been a few years since I’ve read a Rainbow Rowell book and man I have missed her. There is something about her characters and stories that just pulls me in. I read all the time and I caught myself sneak reading at work and staying up until 2am to finish this book, which […]
