I apologize for the Frozen reference (except that I don’t). “Let it go,” except in a different context, is really the main theme of this book. And it’s not my fault that Frozen has now co-opted that phrase for all time (point of interest: I am not yet sick of the song or the movie because I have carefully limited my exposure, and also I don’t have any children). Faerie After is the final book in the Bones of Faerie trilogy. This review will probably not […]
I got those faerie winter blues.
I liked this one better than Bones of Faerie, but I still had some issues with it. And to be fair, while there was some improvement on some of the things that bugged me from #1, the main reason I enjoyed this one more than the first was that it allowed for more time to be spent in this world and with these characters. (If you’ll recall, my biggest issue with the first book was that it was too short.) Faerie Winter picks up about […]
The Emperor’s New Groove
So I bought a new bookmark right before I started this, but I never even used it once. Just read this sucker straight through. What is this guy’s brain. Honestly, I’m trying to think of a reason NOT to give this five stars, and I can’t? Help. It really and truly does not compute in my head how Brandon Sanderson is able to keep inventing these really awesome, really well thought out magic systems, and on top of all that, still give us great characters, […]
Space Rapunzel is a socially mal-adjusted hacker and I love her.
“When she was just a child, the witch locked her away in a tower that had neither doors nor stairs.” Guys, I can’t give out another five star rating this year. I just can’t. But I almost did with this anyway. It was THISCLOSE. I’m going with 4.5 stars for now, but I reserve the right to change my mind upon re-read. I just really really enjoyed myself while reading this, probably more than I should have. Cress, the third volume of The Lunar Chronicles, is […]
Yet another disappointing third book in a YA dystopian trilogy.
I am exhausted from being yo-yoed around by this book. Up and down and back around. I was prepared for disappointment after Prodigy and the way the series seemed to be heading, but even so I was still disappointed even over that prior disappointment. The ending to this series has cemented my resolve not to start YA series without 1) High recommendations from people I trust, and 2) Having a pretty good idea that the series isn’t going to careen off a cliff at the […]
Scary magic. Bad Fairies. Wolf people. DEAD BABIES.
I want to preface this by stating that I reallly wanted to love this book — I used to work at the cafe where Janni wrote I’m sure a large portion of this very book. I served her coffee at least once a week for probably four years. I didn’t realize she was an author, however, until after I had already left that job. I also sat in on a panel she gave at the Tucson Festival of Books last weekend before I’d had a […]
