Cliffhanger nooooooooo. Except I really can’t complain, because 1) I have the next book sitting on my nightstand and I can pick it up whenever I want (which will be after I finish the next two books on my TBR); and 2) It was a really well done cliffhanger! Just the right amount of “I need to find out what will happen next” and “I’m pretty sure I know what’s coming next and it’s going to be great.” I’ve seen several people note in their […]
Don’t read the summary (it’s weird), just read the book. You can’t summarize the wackiness that is this book.
I bought this book in a $4.95 Audible sale a while back and then just sort of abandoned it, for almost a year. Why did I do that? No idea. I had this fun little book just waiting for me all this time, and I just kept going about my life. Okay, maybe I do have some idea why. The summary of this book both intimidated me and made me go, “Hwah?” Let me break it down for you. Intimidation because: the line of succession […]
Gimme the next one now, please!
I read this book in one sitting. I was just so in the mood for a good romance novel, one that hit on the expected tropes but didn’t fall into the expected mistakes books in this genre often do. Clichéd experiences abound here, but the characters are round and fully realized, and their interactions feel real. It’s like the best of both worlds. Your id gets its pleasure quota filled, while your rational mind gets characters who act like adults and actually communicate with one […]
A genetic multiple and an artificial intelligence encased in a manufactured body walk into a bar . . .
This is yet another review where I’m putting up the white flag. It’s been months since I finished it and for whatever reason I’ve been having a hell of a time trying to figure out what I want to say about it. So I’m just not going to say much at all and this will be more of a mini-review than a real one. I liked this book, but not as much as the first one. It’s really more of a companion novel to A Long Way to A Small […]
Now the third one is out, you can read all three in a row!
I give up on writing an intelligent, thoughtful review of this book. It has defeated me for almost two months, and I now take this opportunity to concede. Perhaps eventually I will be able to write coherently and usefully about this series, but for now, I will say that she stuck the landing, she stuck it good, and I will most certainly be revisiting the series as a whole in the future. For now, I will say that I was happy with the ending because it […]
In the Land of Memory the time is always Now.
“I think telling stories is like pushing something. Pushing against uncreation itself, maybe. And one day while you were doing that, you felt something pushing back.” I can’t believe I only have one book left in this series! It feels like I’ve been reading it forever, but also no time at all. (I read The Gunslinger last fall, and The Drawing of Three in December, which is when I really fell into Sai King’s world.) What it really feels like being inside this story, I […]
