Dear Marissa Meyer, THIS is how you end a dystopian sci-fi series

March 26, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

Spoiler warning! This is the THIRD and final book of the trilogy and it’s going to be impossible for me to review this without referring at least a little to stuff that happened in the previous two books. Hence, this is not a review you want to check out until you are well and truly caught up. Interested in the series? Go forth and start at the beginning, with Red Rising. So readers will remember that when we last left Darrow at the end of […]

March 25, 2016 by Malin 3 Comments

Eloise Bridgerton has reached the age of 28 and while she has received six different marriage proposals, she was quite happy with the idea of ending up a spinster. That was, of course, when she believed her best friend, Penelope Featherington, was going to be there, spinstering alongside her. Then Penelope ends up marrying the man of her dreams, Eloise’s brother Colin, and suddenly spinsterhood isn’t looking quite so rosy. On impulse, Eloise decides to run off to the countryside to visit Sir Phillip Crane, […]

Wicked Sexy Liar: 5 stars Not Joe’s Not-So-Short Story: 3 stars First of all, I have to once again thank the wonderful Mrs. Julien for getting me the Target special edition paperback of this book and sending it to me with a veritable feast of Junior Mints, just so I could get to read Not-Joe’s story, which wasn’t included in the e-book version of the book. The Junior Mints were a lovely bonus, and I now have to be very strong and not gorge myself […]
