The Message is our first Cassie book, and that means it’s time to question the morality of our actions. Hurray. In all honesty, when I was a kid, sometimes Cassie’s books frustrated me a little bit. I thought she was a wet blanket and her hair was boring. I could never understand why she was always questioning everything, like, shouldn’t it just be obvious what’s right and wrong? Why are you so upset all the time, girl? Calm down and just enjoy turning into a […]
Manufactured, paint by numbers chemistry.
NB: I received my copy of this book free in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway, but that has not affected the content of my review. NBII: This review is six months late, and I did not like the book. NBIII: I will probably never win another Goodreads giveaway. — I originally rated this three stars after finishing it because there was a cute dog in it and I allowed myself to be emotionally manipulated by its presence, but the further I get from it, the more […]
A good ending to a good series.
If I was just rating the story of this book (and this series), I would probably give it all five stars. But holy crap, Pierce Brown’s writing style is so melodramatic and self-serious sometimes, his prose so purple, I think it must be suffocating from a lack of oxygen. When he forgets to try to be Important and A Good Writer and just writes, his story shines. Oh, and Sevro is amazing. So this is the last book in the Red Rising trilogy (but not […]
This book also has a drone in it that just delivers burritos. That is the dream.
This was the best fart/poop/butt joke book collection I’ve ever read that also happens to have a plot. Despite it not being exactly everything I hoped it would be, this book had me about three pages in when the heroine (ordering fast food while sitting in her self-driving car) contemplates how did people ever “eat their car chili” if they had to keep their hands on the steering wheel. This girl clearly has her priorities straight. If the future allows me to eat car chili while cruising down […]
A fantasy novel about court intrigue and kindness.
A brief review, for a very enjoyable book. I’ve been stuck on this review for a couple of weeks now, so I’m just going to accept I won’t be able to say anything eloquent about it, and move on with my life. The Goblin Emperor follows half-goblin/half-elven Maia, who after his father and three older brothers are killed in an accident, becomes Emperor. Out of favor his whole life and not allowed to grow up at court, Maia is completely out of his depth being thrown into […]
Less in your face hilarity, more story cohesion.
I don’t quite know how to rate this one, because it’s so different from the first two volumes. I’m pretty sure this book marks the occasion of Lumberjanes being made from a limited run series to an ongoing, so changes have been made accordingly, and I’m not quite sure how I feel about all of them yet. The most notable thing of course is that the series has a new artist. Actually, two of them (plus several guest artists in the first issue collected here, […]
