I was happy to continue with the Mythos Academy Colorado series, which follows (and is a spoiler for) the related Mythos Academy series. I like Rory and her strength of spirit. She is brave without being totally stupid. She is willing to risk herself for others. The team has talented people and cool tech gadgets […]
I’ve read a few books in the related Mythos Academy series which came first. It is referenced, maybe a little too much, in Spartan Heart. I have to be a little careful with YA because I sometimes want to roll my eyes. I do better with YA fantasy. There are usually a few things happening […]
I admit, I picked up The Thief, the first book in The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, because Steve West was the narrator. Insert blushing emoji. Although this series has been around for a long time and is a perennial favorite with middle school librarians, I went in totally blind to this story […]
Juliet Marillier is a master storyteller. I have enjoyed everything I have read of her work. I was so excited to read The Harp of Kings; it has been on my radar for almost a year. Unfortunately, it was off timing because I was exhausted from moving and it is a longish book. I always […]
Now we have reached the end of The Great Library series. I have enjoyed them all. The series should be read in order as the political and personal happenings would be tough to follow out of order. The characters develop over time and these young adults find their way, fight for their ideals and strive […]
Unbound is the second book of the Archived series and needs to be read after The Archived or you will have no idea what is happening. It starts up at the end of the summer as Mac is getting ready for her first day of school. This has a solid conclusion for the story arc, […]
Victoria Schwab has a very creative mind and builds on some really interesting premises, like; what if there was a library of sorts for dead people, where the bodies/records are kept on shelves asleep and what if sometimes those bodies get up and try to get back out into the world? See, very interesting premise. […]
Another series in the The Seven Realms is complete and we have fallen in love with another generation of its characters, journeying along with them against foes – both new and old, in their quest to preserve the Gray Wolf Line and way of life in the Fells. I will not add too many details […]
Today’s friend is Brandee from Unconventional Bookworms. I’ve loved getting to know her through books and this wonderful community. We sort of met in passing at the RT Convention in Atlanta, May 2016, since I spent all my time with Melanie and they roomed together. I look forward to getting to know […]
I read the first book, Markswoman, getting it on audio from the library. I really enjoyed it and was excited to see what would happen now. I knew there would be challenges for Kyra and a big battle against Kai Tau. I wanted to know about Nineth and Rustan. The character development in both books was […]
