Fourth verse, same as the first.

October 16, 2015 by narfna Leave a Comment

I feel like this review is going to be virtually identical to what I’ve already written for the first three volumes in the series. So let’s just break it down to its component parts: 1. Daniel Abraham has done a fantastic job as an adapter of this series. Everything is clear and exciting and he gets all the most important bits in. 2. Tommy Patterson is a competent artist but I absolutely do not like his style. 3. I hate the way all the faces […]

Are you happy, Malin? I finally read this! (Also, thank you for my book.)

This book was soooooo not what I was expecting it to be. For some reason, I had it in my head that this was some sort of paranormal romance? And that it was sort of trashy? I have no idea where I got those ideas from, because they couldn’t be further from the truth. This book is epic fantasy, well-written, has intricate plotting, seriously intense worldbuilding . . . and it’s not your mom and pop’s epic fantasy, either. It’s sexy. Like, SEXY sexy. Sex […]

Book cover showing a woman dressed in semi-victorian garb, holding an axe and facing away from the viewer; she is looking out a large window and the word "chapelwood" in gothic font overlays the bottom of her skirt.

…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 don’t want more sense!” I said loudly, beating against the silence of the room. “Not if sense means I’ll stop loving anyone. What is there besides people that’s worth holding on to?”

I really loved this book. It’s got magic and scary trees and romance and friendship and mad cow disease, pretty much all the things. It’s really very, very good. You can read my full review here.

Nimona.

September 25, 2015 by tillie Leave a Comment

Lord Blackheart is not your average villain and he certainly does not want a sidekick. Especially not some kid, following him around all day. Except, Nimona is not just a kid, she’s a shapeshifter who can take the form of any living thing, and she has great plans for Lord Blackheart’s villainy. Sure the great Lord Ballister Blackheart may have been kicked out of the academy, betrayed in training by his best friend Sir Goldenloin (this is not a typo, I repeat this is not […]
