Carry On

Review:Bottom line: It was good. I recommend it. I think if you enjoy Harry Potter and a good young adult story, you won't be disappointed.
Observations: I was surprised at how well I kept track of the changing narrators. First person, multiple narrators always confuses me, but much less so with this novel than others I've read. Goes to show how well Rowell differentiates her characters' internal voices. And first person truly suited this novel. I loved her use of parentheses, (Especially the myriad... Read more

Paperglass (The War of Princes, Book 2)

Review:Even better than the first book! I read it all in one sitting because I couldn't put it down! An immensely likable and enjoyable read. I hope that the author continues to put out books like this for a long time. Read more

Books 1-3 (The Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller Series Boxsets)

Review:This series reads like something written by a talented but very young author. The protagonist seems like a Mary Sue for the author, a character the author is obviously very impressed by, though I personally found him to be insufferable. The author literally writes that Nate Temple is charming - over and over - but he is an arrogant jerk. Every woman encountered is a knockout and most of them drool over Nate, which is amazingly sexist. Silvers writes for jokes most of the time and is legitimately... Read more

Haven (The War of Princes, Book 1)

Review:Wow, just wow. I have been looking for a great dystopia ever since Anglefall (Penryn's adventure) and this book may have been even better. Perhaps because this world is entirely created from the author and is so different while also being believable. I absolutely love these characters, I cried and laughed with them. I finished the book in between work and far into the night (4am!!!) The ending (no spoiler) was so emotional and yet left me with hope for a sequel. I dare not say more!!! P.S. This ... Read more

Ash Princess
Ash Princess

Review:Spoilers!!!!
So much explaining on why the princess “feels” the way she does regaining to EVERYTHING!!!
The plot was decent enough. I barely became emotionally attached to any characters what so ever. I think the ending should have occurred in the middle of the book and there should have been more about those actions and then ended setting up for book 2 with Theo freeing the mines and Cres becoming queen and then killing the Kaiser. So much better.

This is a borrow/library read in m... Read more

Wintersong: A Novel
Wintersong: A Novel

Review:I can honestly say I don’t know how to feel about this, other than I feel strongly. Wintersong by S Jae Jones is beautiful, with grand, sweeping descriptions that envelope the reader in a faerie new world. But it is also not enough at times. There are characters you come to love and grieve for, and others you grow to tolerate. It definitely bears the marking of an author trying to strike the right balance between all of the different elements needed to make a story truly amazing.

Fates Divided: Halven Rising

Review:'Fates Divided' is the first novel in the 'Halven Rising' series by Jules Barnard and I really didn't want to put it down. I even tried to stay awake all night just to keep reading this fantastic story. I absolutely loved it.

Soul mates, college students and, unknown to them, Halven, 18 year old Elena Morales and 20 year Derek O'Brien are neighbours who meet for the first time on Elena's 18th Birthday, although Derek has been watching Elena for a couple of months. She's in desperate need ... Read more

Carve the Mark
Carve the Mark

Review:Great new book by Veronica Roth! The story was more about people than actions, which I really appreciated because Akos and Cyra are terrific––he's sweet and sympathetic yet strong and determined, and she's a feisty warrior learning to let people into her life. So good! The world-building is good and the action is strong, but this is definitely an emotion-heavy story. The interactions with the two main characters are what sell it. While there were certain things I could predict, there were some s... Read more
