November 20, 2021November 20, 20211 Comment

3.5 out of 5 stars Just in time for Amazon's series adaptation: Why The Wheel of Time show could never be true to these impressive, fun, and astonishingly PG-rated books. Goodreads.com: The Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time #1); The Great Hunt, by Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time #2); … Continue reading Review: The Wheel of Time, Books 1-5

Review: The Girl the Sea Gave Back

July 5, 2021Leave a comment

3 out of 5 stars A solid spinoff, but fails to capture the stark grit of its predecessor. Goodreads.com: The Girl the Sea Gave Back, by Adrienne Young (Sky in the Deep #2) In the first pages on The Girl the Sea Gave Back, Tova dies. A child of the Viking-esque Kyrr clan, her body … Continue reading Review: The Girl the Sea Gave Back

3.5 out of 5 stars This duology stars off quickly and cleanly, with a clever idea and likeable heroine. The eventual arc is a bit messy, but satisfying. Goodreads.com: Everless, by Sara Holland (Everless #1)Goodreads.com: Evermore, by Sara Holland (Everless #2) Jules Ember is a poor girl in a medieval town, taking care of an … Continue reading 2x Review: Everless + Evermore

Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

October 4, 2020October 5, 20203 Comments

4 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, by Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games #0) I wasn't immediately excited to hear that Suzanne Collins was publishing prequel to The Hunger Games. In our world of novellas and spin-offs, most attempts to revisit or extent a completed story feel like weak money … Continue reading Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Review: Kingdom of Ash

December 23, 20181 Comment

3.5 out of 5 stars 147 hours and 43 minutes of audiobook.  Just over six entire days.  The complete Throne of Glass series. To call the Throne of Glass series "epic" is a laughable understatement. Sarah J. Maas's truest talent lays in the insane scope of her worlds. From one land to another, then to other … Continue reading Review: Kingdom of Ash

Review: Crown of Midnight

4 out of 5 stars Setup done, the second book in the Throne of Glass series bursts with equal parts world-building and kick ass heroine. Goodreads.com: Crown of Midnight, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #2) Celaena Sardothian, newly victorious, embarks upon her period of indenture as champion to the King of Aderlan. Still … Continue reading Review: Crown of Midnight

Review: Ice Like Fire

September 6, 2017Leave a comment

2.5 out of 5 stars Another series I really want to enjoy, but I just can't get past the mess. Goodreads.com: Ice Like Fire, by Sara Raasch (Snow Like Ashes #2) The first installment of this series, Snow Like Ashes, didn't fully engage me, and at the end, just seemed lacking of the very magic its … Continue reading Review: Ice Like Fire
