How to describe this series? It’s like Sky High meets The Incredibles meets X-Men. But better and epic and awesome! In this universe, there are normal people, Powereds, and Supers. Normal people are just that, normal. Supers have super powers, like telepathy and the ability to turn into solid steel and such. Powereds are a bit different. They have super powers, but they can’t control them. You could imagine how well that would go over in society. Our story begins with five students who are […]
Wait, what do you mean I have to wait for the next one?!?
The third book in the series, we get more information and insight from our semi-adventurers, as well as from some new characters. Newly added to our cast is Elora, an experienced Rogue, along with a priest of Grumble and Silas, a clerk in the Hall of Adventurers. While the majority of the story stays with our main group, we do see what is going on with the others as well. There are some heavy themes in this story, and some heavy consequences. We delve […]
The review I forgot to write
I feel kind of bad that I’m not doing justice to this book in this review, purely because I read it in July and I’m trying to write the review in December. I wrote the reviews of the first and third books close to when I finished them, but this one slipped by. I think I was in a rush to get to the next one, or something. Oops. After escaping their home kingdom, our group of Adventurers moves on in search of, well, something. […]
This one was my gateway drug
This was the first Drew Hayes book I read (well, listened to) and it’s the one that got me hooked. Honestly, going in I didn’t have very high expectations. I just scrolled through my library options and tried to pick something that wouldn’t waste my time, and even if it did, I could move on. I was pleasantly surprised! I don’t play D&D (Dungeons & Dragons for the less nerdy), but I do have passing knowledge of some of the elements. Not having that base […]
Adventures of an Ethical Criminal
Jasmine “Jazz” Bashara has lived in Artemis, the only lunar city, since she was 6. When we meet Jazz, she is in the process of failing her EVA Master exam, because she bought a used EVA suit and a piece of safety equipment has failed. Jazz is always looking to make money, and being able to take tourists from Earth on lunar tours outside the bubble would really set her up. Things don’t go according to plan. That’s a pattern in Jazz’ life – she’s […]
Sure, let’s add murder to flying in an airplane and make it even worse.
Not my favorite Christie, but fun all the same. Of note: Since I first added this book to my TBR in 2008 (thanks, Goodreads!), I have developed a rather bad fear of flying, so this book (in which one passenger is murdered by another) was like, one nightmare scenario on top of another for me. Add wasps (FUCKING WASPS USELESS DEVIL BUGS) in to the mix and why don’t you just kill me already. This is a Poirot mystery, and a later one at that. I have tried in […]
