Spoiler warning: This is the fourth and concluding volume in The Raven Cycle. Readers starting with this book will get very little out of it, and while I am going to try to keep this review as spoiler free as possible, it probably will reveal some things about the previous three books in the series, which may ruin your enjoyment somewhat. It’s a great series, made even better when read as a whole. The Raven Boys is the place to start – go read it […]
This book has kissing, but also quite a lot of angst
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. […]
This book should have been about the youngest Song sister
Lara Jean Song is the middle of the three Song sisters and the quieter and most retiring of them. She tends to internalise her feelings rather than voicing them. Because of this, she has a hat box where she puts letters she’s written to all the boys she’s ever had a crush on. She pours out her thoughts and feelings and then hides the letters away. One of the boys she once had a crush on is Peter Kavinsky, one of the coolest guys in […]
A beautiful and sad romantic historical fiction
So I found Susanna Kearsley a few years ago thanks to a dear friend and roommate. She loved The Winter Sea and as my reading buddy I gave it a try. In less than 24 hours I was raving to all who would listen about how fabulous and wonderful it was. And it is. If you like historical fiction with strong romantic elements go read it. Now. I’ll wait. Since then I’ve been slowly working my way through her library, but not too quickly as […]
Life belowstairs
Quick question – can you give me the name of a single servant in Pride and Prejudice? Despite having read the book multiple times and having just finished the audio version of the book, I certainly couldn’t do it. Jo Baker has taken the classic novel and imagined what the lives of the invisible people behind the scenes, so to speak. The very essential people who wash the mud out of Lizzie’s petticoats after she’s been walking the countryside, who help the Bennett sisters do […]
You stumbled on the finish line there, Marissa
3.5 stars WARNING! This review WILL contain spoilers for earlier books in the series. Do NOT keep reading this review if you’re not caught up, having read all three previous books! There are also some minor spoilers for this book, but if you skip my list of dislikes, you’ll avoid them. Winter was one of the books I was most anticipating in the second half of 2015. Marissa Meyer’s retellings of Grimm fairy tales with a clever YA sci-fi dystopian twist just kept getting better […]
