Not as good as the first one, but still pretty great. I’m loving the way she’s building the world out through new characters and concepts. I’m super mad at a certain character right now, though. It was inevitable that I wasn’t going to like this one as much as the first, because I just have this thing about reading initial romances. It was enjoyable reading about Alexia and Lord Maccon’s married relationship here, but it wasn’t as purely *fun* as their courtship in book one. […]
The Pros and Cons of Fillers
Charley Davidson has amnesia. She’s currently living in New York as a Jane Doe working in a bar/restaurant. She’s leaning things about herself (she see dead people, know multiple languages and can tell when people lie), but doesn’t feel she can talk to anyone about these things. Some people think she’s faking the amnesia and thus treat her like dirt. Other people seem to like her, but she’s not sure why. Life isn’t normal, but she’s getting by. This is the ninth book in the […]
You saved the world two days ago. Time to save it again
Mac Fraser is trying to enjoy lunch with a goblin when a businessman at another table starts freaking out. It seems that the poor human can suddenly see monsters. Granted, there are monsters in the restaurant, but regular humans shouldn’t be able to see past their glamours. Fortunately for Mac (and the monsters), the guy was high and will forget what he saw in a few hours. Unfortunately for Mac (and the rest of the world), the guy was high on a new drug called […]
It’s hard out here for a wizard
Let me start off by saying this is the tenth book in the Young Wizards series and I waited six years for it. I didn’t re-read the series before starting the tenth book, so I kind of went into this blind. I feel that it’s safe to say that you don’t need to read the other nine books to enjoy this one, but it might make it easier to understand some of the past events characters refer to. It’s not necessary, but if you’re the […]
I knew better, I really did. This is absolutely a typical Anne Bishop book.
There is no doubt that Anne Bishop can write a compelling and entertaining story. The problem is that lurking under that very compelling and entertaining story is an ugly miasma of misogyny and -in this book’s case- racism. While not overtly rapey as The Black Jewels trilogy was, this book is still very much within Anne Bishop’s oeuvre, and that oeuvre means it’s sexist as hell and contains some really disturbing relationships. The plot is simple enough. A girl, Meg, on the run from people who think they own […]
Being a fan of this series has become a moral dilemma
My relationship with this series had a good run of five books, but it seemingly ended and we went our separate ways. Now, it promises it has changed with a new perspective, so I was curious and checked the new installments out. I’m not really sure I’m feeling it, but I keep giving the new books the benefit of the doubt. There aren’t any red flags and they’re not irredeemable, so there must be no harm in continuing the series, but I still feel a […]
