Review:Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales

Quick and Dirty: A girl has to prove that she isn't a failure, while a guy is coming to grips with being a sylph and learning the girl of his dreams (literally) is real.

Opening Sentence: I'm lucky to be alive.

The Review:

Vane Weston has forgotten his entire younger years. After being pulled out of the rubble from a tornado at 8 years old, Vane is completely ignorant to the fact that he's a sylph, someone who can communicate with ... Read more

Review:There is something appealing about all of the books I have read by Rick Riordan. Whether you are a child or an adult, he always manages to communicate with all audiences. He develops his characters, and makes you care for them.

I confess I do not enjoy the Egyptian mythology series, The Kane Chronicles, AS MUCH as the Greek mythology series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, or the other new Greco-Roman mythology series, The Heroes of Olympus. However, I do enjoy all of these, and I think ... Read more

Review:I loved the first couple books in this series and I pre-ordered this one... The magic system and world building was great and I loved Call's struggle to determine if he was good or evil. However, I cannot give this book a 4 or 5 star review as much as I'd like to because my only reaction having finished the book is "seriously?!?!" This book was way too short and ended on way too much of a cliff hanger (though I guess since it was prophesied that I shouldn't be surprised.) Also I didn't like how ... Read more

Review:After reading the information about this book , I believed that it was aimed at tweens. But as a 55 year old woman I did not want to stop reading Fire Mage. Fire Mage truly held my interest and I hated when I came to the end of the book. I work with 10 to 12 year old children and they all would enjoy this book. It is well written and makes you want more. The details are clear and the charters are likeable and the book is enteraining. At times as I read Fire Mage I felt that I could see and smell... Read more

Review:4.5 Stars

Yay! I love seeing Meghan and Ash together as a couple. I greatly missed Meghan in The Iron Knight and it is nice to see a part of the life that she and Ash have after being married. They are getting ready for the first Elesium that Meghan has gone to as the Iron Queen but she is feeling a little weird nausea and almost fainting….hmmm wonder what that could be.

The oracle that once asked for Ash and Meghan’s first born has bad news about their progeny and they must jour... Read more

Review:The short novella WINTER'S PASSAGE was a great way to get more action and chemistry between Ash and Meghan. This isn't a must read. A lot of the beginning is just a repeat of what happened in the previous book THE IRON KING, but if you're a lover of the series then I suggest the read. The story follows Ash and Meghan as they visit Puck before they make their way to the Winter Court. They're in danger as a ferocious wolf is hunting them. As they try to out run the wolf and make it safely to the W... Read more

Review:I have mentioned before the difficulty I have in rating a novella. However, with that said I have to say that I have no hesitations at all with rating Summer's Crossing with five huge sparkly stars! My only complaint is that it couldn't be longer.

This is told from Puck's point of view which was so much fun! I am absolutely smitten with Puck. This novella follows Puck as he goes with Ash to track down our favorite feline, Grimalkin. When they are about to set off they are stopped by t... Read more

Review:The Secret Treasure Box rocks! Great series and the secret treasure box makes it extra special. Great series for a young girl who wants (or her parents want) to stay young and sweet. Perfect for a 7-10 year old. Really good stuff. Read more

Review:I have read the Earthsea Cycle over and over, but I have worn out the pages of Tehanu. It is by far the most heartbreaking and redeeming of the series. Unlike most fantasies, human conflict is not caused by the BIG BAD EVIL; it is caused by ordinary humans mistreating other ordinary humans. Most human conflict is acutely personal.

Nowhere is that seen better than in the simple life that Tenar chooses for herself. She experiences love, loss, and disappointment as a widowed mother runni... Read more
