This book has kissing, but also quite a lot of angst

May 5, 2016 by Malin 3 Comments

Spoiler warning: This is the third and concluding volume in this series. It’s going to be absolutely impossible for me to review this book without spoiling plot from the first and second book. Therefore, if you are not caught up, please skip this review and go start at the beginning – with The Winner’s Curse. Arin is mustering the Herrani into full-on war with the Valoran empire. Leading the Dacran forces that are going to aid them, is the sarcastic and hideously scarred Prince Roshar. […]

Fun with guns and metal-based superpowers

December 15, 2015 by Malin 1 Comment

As of me posting this, the book is currently on sale for $2.99 on Kindle – so if you think it sounds interesting, now might be a time to try it. In helping me establish some of the background for the plot of this book, here is the Goodreads summary: In the three hundred years since the events of the Mistborn trilogy, science and technology have marched on. Scadrial is now on the verge of modernity, with railroads, electric lighting, and even the first steel-framed […]

How to Enjoy Tea and Custard While Loosing Ones Bloomers

June 6, 2015 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

In a vaguely steampunk and certainly supernatural Victorian England, a sassy and witty young lady of means and her equally sassy and well-off friends are sent off on an adventure that ends up being more complicated and dangerous than they expected. The protagonist is Prudence (Rue), raised by werewolves and vampires, herself in possession of a certain supernatural ability that makes her a strong and confident but also a target. In her dirigible (if you don’t’ know what that means, you’ll have to look it […]

Kestrel gets in way over her head

April 5, 2015 by Malin 2 Comments

Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC of this book through NetGalley in return for a fair and objective review. The book is available now.  This review will contain some spoilers for The Winner’s Curse. I will try to be vague, but it’s pretty much impossible to review this without mentioning some of the important stuff that happened in the second half of the first book. You have been warned.  You still here? On your own head be it. Kestrel is now firmly settled in the […]
