I love this series. I *love* this series. When I sat down to write this review, I thought I have probably run out of things to say about this series. I reviewed book one and book two with an almost embarrassing amount of gush about the pacing of the story and character development. This is the final book in this series, though the whole story is set before the stories in the Twelve Kingdoms which I will be picking up after (and have vague recollections of?). All […]

Rare character development and expert storytelling

Exile of the Seas by Jeffe Kennedy

March 5, 2020 by Nart Leave a Comment

This series is shaping up to be one of the best character studies I’ve encountered in a very long time. I remember being excited about watching the Godfather because people said it was an amazing character study and I don’t understand people at all, so I love character study stories. So I watch the movie (and the second and the third), only to have the character make critical decisions off screen with no explanation. First, the guy hates his dad’s business, and suddenly he’s working […]

A hard book to read but an easy book to love

Prisoner of the Crown by Jeffe Kennedy

I hated this book and loved it in equal measure, and I hated it for the same reason I loved it. If you’re looking for a book that will make you feel the most perfect, soul burning rage, but in a good way, this might be it. Holy goddamn. Trigger warning for literally every kind of abuse I can think of: emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, suicide ideation, substance abuse, and so so so much of all of it in the worst way. It […]

A fantasy romance with a librarian heroine

June 25, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars From Goodreads: Magic has broken free all over the Twelve Kingdoms. The population is beset by shapeshifters and portents, landscapes that migrate, uncanny allies who are not quite human…and enemies eager to take advantage of the chaos. Dafne Maillouix is no adventurer – she’s a librarian. But the High Queen trusts Dafne’s ability with languages, her way of winnowing useful facts from a dusty scroll, and even more important, the subtlety and guile that three decades under the thumb of a tyrant taught […]

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.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
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.
