This is the one where you get all of the answers. And they are good answers! There’s nothing so satisfying as a series that poses lots of interesting mysteries, then gives you compelling origins and solutions for all of them. Also, when some of those answers manage to surprise you, and re-contextualize what you thought about the story previously. Clockworks opens with a strange flashback to the Revolutionary War, and we learn at last the origin story of the Keys. And so too do Kinsey […]
What even happened here?
Here are three things I know: 1. The Puritans were weirdos. Everything with them was witches. Everything. My notes are missing. IT WAS A WITCH. My daughter is moody. SHE’S A WITCH. My dog barfed on my rug. WIIIITCH!!!!! 2. The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow (European) is roughly 24 miles per hour. 3. I did not like this book. I really don’t want to spend much time talking about this book because, a) I started (and finally finished) it so long ago that […]
I wish I would have realized this series is not for me before I wasted all this time reading it.
I should have known better. I really should have. And I should have kept my big mouth shut about this book. Halfway through I decided to blab to Goodreads that I was actually really enjoying this book, way more than I had the first two, and that maybe juuuuuust maybe I would read a book in this series, and by these authors, that I really, truly enjoyed. The universe loves destroying dreams. Seriously, the first half was really fun in a way this series hadn’t […]
Teenage hawk identity crisis.
I never cared as a kid, but as an adult, wow; this book is bleak. Well, I shouldn’t say “bleak,” because ultimately, the book does have a relatively uplifting ending, and I tend to associate bleakness with a lack of hope or optimism, which isn’t this series at all, no matter how dark it goes. But I think this book and what it’s willing to do with Tobias’s character is an example of one of the many reasons I loved this series so much when […]
This series is book crack.
“Hello, lover.” Read back to back to back with the other two books, Kings Rising is a great series ender. All three books together create a massively compelling read. This is not a perfect book—there are actually some pretty big flaws up in here—but at least in terms of the emotional satisfaction possible to get from the story, I think Pacat really nails it here. This trilogy consumed my life for the three to four day period I read it in. I know that time frame would have been shorter […]
This book has what you were looking for in the first one: equal parts fantasy adventure and romance.
Okay, first let’s have a talk: Anyone who calls this series erotica is fooling themselves, or trying to fool someone else. This is some straight up fantasy adventure war spy tactics shit right here. That just happens to involve a m/m romance. So is that the erotica part because I’m confused. Is featuring a m/m romance taboo, so that’s why it’s “erotica”? The sole purpose of erotica is to titillate. It does nothing else. This is not that. At all. The ratio of sex to […]
