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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
With the books of Souls of Fire series being a year apart, I confess I am having some trouble remembering all the details of the situation. I do recall all the characters and the feelings and the overall plot, but the finer points get a bit lost to me. Luckily, there is just […]
Wow. I could hardly put Red Queen down. It is the sequel to Alice. Both works cleverly use names and themes from Alice in Wonderland. They are so dark and layered. I had the same confused, uneasy feeling I have always had about the original. Alice is our beleaguered hero, struggling […]
Complex and well-written, The Great Library series could be reread and more details discovered each time. There are bits of humor and romance but this is fantasy, set in history with magic. Books are revered, as they should be. There is a war happening, both political and actual, with a David […]
This is an author I have wanted to try, so since this is the first in a new series, I grabbed it. This is a different kind of supernatural which left me wanting to know much more. The world was rich, interesting and a good amount of action. There was also […]
I love books of every type and nearly every format. I love libraries and the way they smell. There is a sense of comfort and happiness every time I visit one. So a book called The Invisible Library is a natural choice. The setting feels Victorian but science fiction. I wouldn’t call […]
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 […]
I love John Charming. He’s funny, smart, badass and even a faithful lover. Pax Arcana series is always humorous which is amazing. The chapter titles in In Shining Armor are great. I was giggling away over them. This is a world with a wide variety of supernatural characters. These are not your typical […]
