4 out of 5 stars Epic, long, intense, long, convoluted, long. But just when my Aelin fatigue kicked in, everyone else got much more interesting. Goodreads.com: Empire of Storms, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #5) 24 hours of audiobook. That's what Empire of Storms takes. By the end, I felt liked I'd been pummeled … Continue reading Review: Empire of Storms
4 out of 5 stars Better than the book before it, Queen of Shadows really - finally - gets us somewhere. Goodreads.com: Queen of Shadows, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #4) I'm not usually one to binge a series, and feel like I've been carrying Aelin and Co around for ages. Perhaps I … Continue reading Review: Queen of Shadows
3.75 out of 5 stars Still epic and fast-paced, this installment is missing a little something. Goodreads.com: Heir of Fire, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #3) The first third of Heir of Fire should be subtitled: Celaena Throws a Tantrum. Packed off to Wendlyn at the end of Crown of Midnight, Celaena finds … Continue reading Review: Heir of Fire
3.75 out of 5 stars Assassins, magic, girl power, and the required YA love triangle done quite well, thankyouverymuch. I'm so late to the cool kids club, last fangirl on Earth to read Throne of Glass. Goodreads.com: Throne of Glass, by Sarah J. Mass (Throne of Glass #1) I'm going through this series so quickly, it's … Continue reading Review: Throne of Glass
4 out of 5 stars It's a dark and stormy world inside The Diviners series, on both the mortal plane and beyond. Goodreads.com: Before the Devil Breaks You, by Libba Bray (The Diviners #3) The good-timey, gin-soaked razzmatazz of the 1920s has worn off for our gifted heroes, and the Diviner's New York has become … Continue reading Review: Before the Devil Breaks You
2.5 out of 5 stars Some things are better (steadier and more heartfelt), some things are worse (so many monkeys): The Dorothy Must Die series still isn't wow-ing me. Goodreads.com: The Wicked Will Rise, by Danielle Paige (Dorothy Must Die #2) First book SPOILERS right off the bat, y'all. Read Dorothy Must Die first. The … Continue reading Review: The Wicked Will Rise
2.5 out of 5 stars If you're going to reimagine a story, you need one thing: IMAGINATION. As much as, if not more than, the original had. And very few people have more imagination than Frank L. Baum. So I approached the Dorothy Must Die series with little enthusiasm. Goodreads.com: Dorothy Must Die, by Danielle … Continue reading Review: Dorothy Must Die
