4 out of 5 stars A steampunk-meets-Mad Max YA action adventure? YAAAAAAS plz. Goodreads.com: Mortal Engines, by Philip Reeve (Mortal Engines #1) I loved this book! I picked it up because the movie version comes out in December (more below). There's a masculine tilt to this story; or perhaps more correctly, it's not overly feminine. It's … Continue reading Review: Mortal Engines
3.5 out of 5 stars I love Rick Riordan. The Trials of Apollo isn't my favorite of his series, but it's more than enough fun. Goodreads.com: The Burning Maze, by Rick Riordan (The Trials of Apollo #3) Apollo, cast out by Zeus and trapped in the awkward, unfortunate body of teenage Lester Popadopolous, must again … Continue reading Review: The Burning Maze
2.5 out of 5 stars ASDFGHJKL$%^&*! PLEASE stop writing between-books. We can wait, promise! Ask George R. R. Martin! Goodreads.com: A Court of Frost and Starlight, by Sarah J.

The kind that spirals … Continue reading Review: Turtles All the Way Down

4 out of 5 stars War Storm has everything I hoped this series finale would have: Liberty! Equality! A backbone for Cal! Little-to-no Cameron! Goodreads.com: War Storm, by Victoria Aveyard (Red Queen #4) In War Storm, the war is truly that: a storm shifting course, gathering strength, breaking and holding. Mare and her partners in … Continue reading Review: War Storm
5 out of 5 stars One of the best sci-fi series I've ever read. One of the best YA series I've ever read. That both of those things are true about the same series is astonishing. Goodreads.com: Obsidio, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (The Illuminae Files #3) Obsidio is the impossibly fantastic culmination of … Continue reading Review: Obsidio
