Let’s Start This Party with a Bang!

January 3, 2016 by sistercoyote 1 Comment

Flex took me a while to get into; I started reading it a chapter here, a chapter there, and then all of a sudden, wham. Had to finish the book. Couldn’t put it aside.

A woman holding a sword stands back to back with a man in a duster wearing glasses and holding a laser blaster. Over their heads is the title: Revisionary with the subtitle Magic Ex Libris Book Four beneath. At the bottom left is the author's name: Jim C. Hines

Reading is Fundamental: Magic Ex Libris Book 4

December 28, 2015 by sistercoyote 1 Comment

Revisionary is the fourth and final book in Jim C. Hines’ Magic Ex Libris series, and the short version of this review is: this is a satisfying ending that still leaves a Whole Lot of Room in the Libriomancer universe if Jim ever decides to come back to it. The long version is behind the cut because SPOILERS.

 I got gifts! I am so happy! Thanks so much to Jennie (yesknopemaybe). They did in fact come in two packages, which was definitely awesome. And they will be wonderful for my annual No Internet Weekend coming up soon. 🙂

Late to the Party; Still had…Fun?

November 10, 2015 by sistercoyote 2 Comments

“I tested the brackets by hitting them with rocks. This kind of sophistication is what we interplanetary scientists are known for.” So, here’s the thing. I know I’m late to the party (and I haven’t seen the movie yet, either), but sometimes I just get so damn stubborn about the things everybody wants me to check out I won’t try ’em even when I know I’ll like ’em.

…only a fool would reject the comfort of routine for weeks of murder and monsters. Kindle location 2065 This sequel to Maplewood meets and, in some ways, exceeds its predecessor.

I’m not going to pull any punches on this one: I hated this book.
