The primary focus of the first book is Valeria, who finds a dragon egg, which sets off the chain of events for the rest of the series.

It is up to Valeria and Tibor, a new friend and eventual lover, to travel to […]

Music and dragons

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

October 31, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman follows a young girl who lives for music. An excellent pick for the music square for CBR 12 Bingo. The novel is set in a fictional kingdom of Goredd where dragons and humans have found a fragile peace. The dragons in this book are scholars who love cold logic and have a hankering for math too. They can transform into a human form to take up these pursuits. A murder mystery unfolds that opens up old wounds between the two races. A […]

Entire epic fantasy in one novel: cbr12bingo “Orange” – Bingo!

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

September 16, 2020 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

“Orange” square completes my first Bingo! The Priory of the Orange Tree was the featured speculative fiction pick of the month by Mysterious Galaxy when it was first released. One of the booksellers, who is a huge epic fantasy fan, was eagerly waiting to read it because it’s the type of fantasy that has appendices. At the time it came home, I didn’t have space space in the TBR. However, it was the perfect fit for the orange square, which gave me the push to […]

The Tea Dragon Society Vo1 by Katie O’Neill

August 11, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

(image 100% stolen from internet) The Tea Dragon Society Vo1 is by the author of the Aquacorn book I recently read and reviewed. And this book is filled with contradictions for me. First, I do not think I would have gone onto the Aquacorn book had I read about the Tea Dragons first. There is a lot to love, but it is not as strong as her later book. However, at the same time it is better. Second, I rate this a four, but it […]

#Red: An Austenian take on the societal and legal niceties of consuming your own kin (plus dragons)

Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton

July 26, 2020 by Aquillia Leave a Comment

Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton has been described as “Pride and Prejudice, but dragons”. There is no more apt description than this, though I also see a lot of Dickensian influence. Additionally, the primary romance is not as antagonistic as Elizabeth and Darcy are initially. I’m counting this as my bingo square for Red because the cover is, in fact, very red and because the colour actually plays a role in the book. The plot centers around a family of dragon gentility after the […]

Made me excited for the rest of the series. Also ruined my review streak. #CBRBingo – Green

Throne of Jade (Temeraire, #2) by Naomi Novik

I read this book in APRIL. I don’t know what it is about this series, but when I read the first book, it also took me f o r e v e r and also ruined my review momentum. I don’t know why! It was perfectly enjoyable, aside from some dragging in the middle. I think I might have to switch to audio on this series, even though I own the first four books in hard copy. I just cannot with them for some reason! […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
