I finished The Invisible Library on Saturday and I had almost completely forgotten about it by today, which is Monday. It’s not that the book is bad, because it was perfectly enjoyable to read, it just didn’t really stand out much. This was, I think, my local Vaginal Fantasy chapter’s pick to read for February and or March. It’s either this one or A Curious Beginning- but fortunately I have time to read that one before the meeting as well. At any rate, I’m struggling […]
Cranky Old Women are Delightful to Read About
The Lost Child of Lychford is the sequel to The Witches of Lychford, and I don’t think it’s gonna make much sense if you haven’t read the first one. However, it’s a nice little addition to the world Cornell has created and I enjoyed it. I will be keeping my eyes on further books in this series/world and I’ll definitely check out Cornell’s other books. As it was established in the first book, Lychford is an important town located at the crossroads of many worlds. […]
Three Women against all the forces of evil
The Witches of Lychford is a quiet little novella about a small town in England and the supernatural forces that influence it. The book takes the three spheres of faith, science, and magic and looks at how those three things work together to shape the reality of the world Cornell has created. I really enjoyed it and quickly picked up the follow up when I finished it. Lychford, for whatever reason, sits at the center of the roads between the many supernatural worlds and our […]
I Enjoyed the Ranting a lot more then the book
And so I pushed through the second book in this trilogy. I am still less than impressed, but because my expectations were so low, this one wasn’t quite as bad as the first. Which means this is proves the theory that lowered expectations make things better. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s still terrible it just didn’t disappoint me in addition to being terrible so… yea… For the record, I skimmed a lot, a LOT, of this book. So what’s the plot? Well, Lira’s evil […]
Chaotic Dash Through Time to Save England’s History
This is the second book in The Chronicles of Saint Mary’s and like the first book; I listened to this one in audio form. I’m still not 100% sold on audio format, but I like the narrator for this series and I had a long, brainless task at work that needed to get done so an audio book was called for. So once again, I dived into the chaotic world of Saint Mary’s. I suppose the basic plot of A Symphony of Echoes is that […]
Summer, Baba Yaga, and a were-house
I love portal fantasies. I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember, from Narnia to Oz to Wonderland to Amber and even for a brief moment Xanth, I have loved stories of someone from this mundane world transported to a world full of magic and wonder. Summer in Orcus is an offering in this category from T. Kingfisher, aka Ursula Vernon, and it is marvelous. The best I can describe it is a middlegrade fantasy for adults, and much like Catherynne Valente’s The […]
