I reviewed The Aeronaut’s Windlass in 2015 when first released and read a print paperback ARC. I loved it with all the hearts. I am going to repeat my 2015 review here and follow with my update of reading in 2023 with an eARC and the audio I purchased. I am relieved I decided […]
ICYMI is a post from my early days of blogging at Yummy Men & KickAss Chicks. You can see the original review here. This was one of my favorite books of that year. It is currently (surprisingly) in the Audible Romance package. House Immortal is the first book in the new series by the same name […]
Anne’s Review I came to the Others series late, but I’ve loved it since the first book. Marked in Flesh (book 4) was a problem for me, it’s the book just before Etched in Bone. I expected the story to be what it was, generally, without knowing the details. My issue was a slew of […]
This was fun and easily kept me reading. The Burning Page is the third in The Invisible Library series. Each story was consistently good with interesting adventures and characters. Somehow the overall feeling was different in each. The Invisible Library (book 1) had its world-building and introduction to characters we would know and come […]
The words on the page here are beautiful; they are well-crafted into a flow of emotion and provide a view for the imagination. One can see the setting, the people. This is well-written. The characters are well developed, even the mentions are unusually defined. Den of Wolves is the […]
The Soulwood series is a spin-off series from the Jane Yellowrock series by (the awesome) Faith Hunter. It may not be necessary to read Jane to read Nell but why wouldn’t you? They are both excellent stories. The introduction to Nell is in a short story Off the Grid and then the […]
The Invisible Library sounded exciting. I mean who doesn’t like libraries and books and adventures with spies? And I liked it. But The Masked City was better – a fast paced, thrilling ride from start to finish. The two seem very different in some ways. The first had the initial world-building, […]
I LOVED the start of this new series by a favorite author! The main character, Nell, was introduced in a Jane Yellowrock short story, Off the Grid. Nell is fascinating and on the brink of a new phase of her life. She is much younger than I felt originally. I am […]
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 […]
It was a pleasure to read To Kill a Kettle Witch and it did move things along with the characters and their lives. I continue to be surprised by how much I enjoy this when typically I haven’t been big on historical fantasy. This is the fourth book in the Mist-Torn […]
