Atmospheric, but no mystery

March 20, 2017 by sistercoyote 1 Comment

I know I’m late to the party on this book, and that it was a Very Big Deal some time ago, but kind of like the Martian it took me a while to catch up. Frankly? Unlike the Martian, with this book I don’t think I actually missed much.

Throw to the Anchor

March 20, 2017 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

I still haven’t quite figured out what it is with me and cozy mysteries, but I can tell you I picked this one up on a freebie deal from amazon because it’s set in a small town in Wyoming. My people are from Wyoming, so I was hoping McLinn would do all right with the characterization.

Being in one’s body

November 21, 2016 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

Dust Bath Revival is a book in which magic and history and Florida and science all get scrunched up and then smoothed out again into a shape neither the reader nor Hank can anticipate. It’s a dark and fascinating ride. Henrietta Goodness — but for the love of little green apples call her Hank — is not your average heroine. But then, Dust Bath Revival is not your average book; sure, there are zombies but these aren’t your grandfather’s zombies and they aren’t necessarily the […]

A girl, on fire, in a white dress over the word FLEX on a black background

Let’s Start This Party with a Bang!

January 3, 2016 by sistercoyote 1 Comment

Flex took me a while to get into; I started reading it a chapter here, a chapter there, and then all of a sudden, wham. Had to finish the book. Couldn’t put it aside.

A woman holding a sword stands back to back with a man in a duster wearing glasses and holding a laser blaster. Over their heads is the title: Revisionary with the subtitle Magic Ex Libris Book Four beneath. At the bottom left is the author's name: Jim C. Hines

Reading is Fundamental: Magic Ex Libris Book 4

December 28, 2015 by sistercoyote 1 Comment

Revisionary is the fourth and final book in Jim C. Hines’ Magic Ex Libris series, and the short version of this review is: this is a satisfying ending that still leaves a Whole Lot of Room in the Libriomancer universe if Jim ever decides to come back to it. The long version is behind the cut because SPOILERS.

Late to the Party; Still had…Fun?

November 10, 2015 by sistercoyote 2 Comments

“I tested the brackets by hitting them with rocks. This kind of sophistication is what we interplanetary scientists are known for.” So, here’s the thing. I know I’m late to the party (and I haven’t seen the movie yet, either), but sometimes I just get so damn stubborn about the things everybody wants me to check out I won’t try ’em even when I know I’ll like ’em.
