I kept seeing friends rave about My Lady Jane on Goodreads so I procured an audio copy from the library to see what all the fuss was about. I am SO glad I sought this book out. Has there ever been such a charming young adult novel? I’m trying to think of one and coming up blank. Maybe Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, but the types of charm are completely different in tone. My Lady Jane was co-written by three authors and the story is extremely […]
Thieves in Love
Fate’s Edge is the third book of The Edge series by Ilona Andrews. Kaldar Mar, cousin to Cerise from the previous book, is recruited by Lady Virai to retrieve a magical artifact stolen impossibly stolen from a literal Fort Knox type pyramid. If not retrieved, The Hand (bad guys) would have a devastating tool to wreak havoc in the Weird, Broken and Edge. Kaldar is a con man who loves a dangerous and challenging mission. That is his power – if you bet him to do […]
Something wicked this way comes
I need to seek out more writing by Jo Walton. Among Others wasn’t what I thought it would be. It’s fantasy, but only with the lightest touch. It’s magical realism without the overwhelming weirdness that usually comes along with that genre. Among Others centers on Morwenna who grew up in Wales among the fairies, her twin sister, and her batshit crazy mother. After a horrible accident she seeks out her long lost father. He and his three sisters set her up at a boarding school […]
See, *this* is what reading an actual Harry Potter script should feel like.
K, first thing is this won’t be a real review. Don’t feel like being critical. Just feel like sharing lots of gifs (so warnings on two fronts: those of you who hate gifs, scram; also, small spoilers, prob, though nothing plot heavy). I saw Fantastic Beasts on opening weekend and had such a good time. Just a fun fantasy movie with cute animals and charming new characters. I hadn’t yet read Cursed Child, but in retrospect, this was everything that I wanted out of that […]
I wish I hadn’t read this, but also I’m glad I did so I can stop worrying about it and just forget it exists.
Oh, man, I have just been dreading writing this review, almost as much as I dreaded reading this book. I refused to pick it up for the longest time. I just couldn’t. It didn’t feel right. For a while I thought I might not read it at all; I was happy with where the story ended, and the little tidbits Jo threw out every once in a while on Twitter or Pottermore. But then my stupid curiosity monster got going, as it always does, and […]
Romancing the Stone with immortal beings
After a brief respite, I dove back into the Immortals After Dark series with No Rest for the Wicked. Much to my surprise, it had a very realistic (as it could be) romance between the paired supernaturals. Sebastian Wroth has retreated from the world to a dusty Russian castle so disgusted with his vampire existence. He was forcibly turned by his brothers and never forgiven them for it – or himself. He hides in a cave and hungers for death. However, fate issn’t done with him and brings […]
