4 out of 5 stars As good as the first book in the series, Dev1at3 turns the focus from Evie to her supporting cast, and they are well worth the spotlight. Goodreads.com: Dev1at3, by Jay Kristoff (Lifelike #2) At the end of Lifel1k3, Evie Carpenter, orphan and scrappy scavenger girl in a post-apocalyptic American future, … Continue reading Review: Dev1at3
Another year, another enormous amount of time not wasted on my commute because BOOKS! Thank heaven for them. I read 42 books in 2018 - and if that number isn't significant to you, get thee to a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy right now. (Possibly my all-time favorite book.) This year I read … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2018
4 out of 5 stars Goodreads perfectly describes Lifel1k3 as "part Romeo and Juliet, part Terminator" - and that is awesome. Goodreads.com: Lifel1k3, by Jay Kristoff (Lifel1k3 #1) This book is super cool right from the get go. Eve is a teen girl, post-apocalyptic mechanic-slash-robot demolition derby fighter, partly enhanced herself by some rigged up … Continue reading Review: Lifel1k3
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
Whew. I read 65 books in 2017! If I could stay awake on the bus during my commute, it would be even more. Before I jump into by TBR list for 2018 (that's a lie, I've already started), here are my favorite books that I read in 2017. Some were published well before this year, … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2017
4.5 out of 5 stars When you pick up a sequel, you expect to pick up where the first book left off. Gemina is so good it starts a new story, in a new place, and kicks just as much ass as Illuminae. Goodreads.com: Gemina, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (The Illuminae Files #2) … Continue reading Review: Gemina
4.5 out of 5 stars The best straight sci-fi I've read in a long time, Illuminae explodes like a star in your hands. If the main characters weren't teenagers, it would even by a YA novel. But their informality and aversion to authority will make you glad it is. Goodreads: Illuminae, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff … Continue reading Review: Illuminae
