The start of the Mercenary Librarians series is an action-packed, sexy ride which uplifts the heart. I didn’t get too much of the librarian theme in Deal with the Devil. But I did love the smart, strategic and tactical way every action was planned using all the information they could get. I loved the technology […]
The inferno started in The Collapsing Empire continues to build in The Consuming Fire. An emperox and her trusted few must find a way to save as many as possible in this second of tightly connected stories in the Interdependency trilogy. The background, characters, and world-building were introduced in the first book so The Consuming […]
I am continuing with the Witchmark series which I started because of the gorgeous cover. I love the covers and the magics in this world. Miles and Grace are wonderful characters and have come to see the world outside of their father’s purview. This is a unique sort of fantasy, which feels historical, maybe steampunk. […]
I just love books with magic. I saw this and the blurb sounded great so I was excited to get City of Broken Magic. I wish I had re-read the blurb again before I read the book and some things might have made more sense but others would have made less, so.. Yes, I had […]
Villains is a series to read when you want something out of the ordinary. It is for when you are ready to root for the bad guy or you’re just tired of Mary Janes and Gary Stus in books. These are not misunderstood good guys. These are the Villains of the world, they kill apologetically, […]
An extended war with the use of wizards performing a variety of magic is the basis of this tale. Teado can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a war happening around him. It has been going on for almost all of his life and now in his twenties he is considered an old man among […]
I’m not often influenced by the cover of a book but I loved this cover. Witchmark is also the first in the Witchmark series and has magic. I enjoyed the world-building of a unique time and place. It had enough details for realism but not to be overwhelming. The feel is historical, sort of steampunk. […]
Lock In was one of my favorite Sci-Fi worlds ever. I really appreciated all the thought John Scalzi put into how life would be different if the person you presented to the outside world was basically a robot. The prequel Unlocked (which should actually be read after Lock In) was fantastic, as it was presented […]
Is a 0.5 novella something you should read in a series? Well, it depends on the series in question, and for the Witchlands series, I would say definitely yes, but you don’t want to read it first. That is also the tricky part of adding a prequel to a series later. When should your […]
Since I really enjoyed this author’s Kitty Norville books and I’ve rediscovered my love of science fiction, Martians Abroad seemed like a perfect fit. I was so excited to read it. It was interesting while I was reading and learning about the world and the characters. People are living on Earth and Mars and various […]
