I very much looked forward to this second book and I enjoyed it. Many things continue from City of Light. Tiger still wants to find the missing children. This means she is working with Nuri and Jonas, as they want the same thing, but they don’t trust each other. They need […]
Again, I find myself reading a book because I’m an Ace Roc star. It is not one I would have chosen myself. I used to think I didn’t like historical type fantasy and now I know that’s not exactly true. Ace Roc has given me such an opportunity to grow and […]
This Arc came in paperback in my first package for AceRoc stars. It looked like one of my top picks because I love magic but it was book 2 and we got so many great things. I had trouble getting book 1 without buying it and I prefer not to buy […]
I felt Maplecroft ended the story quite fully and in a satisfying way. Chapelwood continues in similar style about thirty years later. Whaaaaat? Why was there such a huge time gap? This is horror in a lovecraftian form, which works for me. I kept waiting for the story to start, wanting […]
This is the latest in a spinoff series. The original series is The Lost Fleet; this series is Beyond the Frontier. It all feels like one series, even one story, as each book picks up where the last one left off. I listened to every book but this one on audio, CDs in my […]
I did not enjoy the first book, Half- Resurrection Blues too much. Carlos doesn’t seem like a bad guy but he goes along with things, some of which seem very questionable in my value system and even his own. So why isn’t he questioning more things? Maybe the whole new world he lives in is […]
I always think I don’t really like regular fantasy since it’s more like a historical fantasy rather than urban fantasy, but now reading these Ace Roc books I find I love it, some of it. I read somewhere recently about the genre being timeless and that is true enough. It doesn’t have the changing […]
I have only begun my love affair with Harry Dresden and now this gem has arrived. Perhaps it is Jim Butcher that I am falling for? This is steampunk? If so, it is perhaps my first one and I loved it. I am uncertain if this story is in the past or in […]
As an Ace Roc star, I am being sent some books I would not have read on my own path. Yet I am really enjoying them. I thank them wholeheartedly for opening my eyes to what I have been missing. This one seems an improbable choice for me since I dislike historical fiction for […]
I was very excited to get Ink and Bone, the first in the new The Great Library series by Rachel Caine, She also wrote the Morganville Vampire series which I have enjoyed. I didn’t know what to expect from Ink and Bone, except that it would be about books and what could be more exciting, […]
