Review:This is the best of the Lioness series, in my opinion. I came back to this series after having read it in middle school, and then subsequently reading her later books. I can't help thinking that Alanna shows some qualities of being too perfect and having all of these great guys falling for her (that along with the purple eyes almost makes her seem like a Mary Sue, though I don't think that it completely fits). I love the characters of Thayet and Buri, and the conversations between Jonathan an... Read more

Review:Wild Magic is the first Immortals book in the seires.A threeteen
year old named Daine was hired a job by Onua to help take a herd
of ponies to Tortall.This book was recommened to me by my best
friend.Once I got it the book pulled me into the storie.I felt
I was Daine not me anymore.I didn't think that it would have so many monsters in it,like Griffens and Stormwings.And Numair,when
they talked about he I didn't think he was the most powerful mage I was as suprised as Daine.Numair ... Read more

Review:This book was yet another classic from the Tamora Pierce we've all come to love. The reunion of all the characters is nice, even if it's not completely necessary to the story and Aly is such a fun character. Personally I found that the lucky she exerted was a bit much in finding masters both kind and unabusive, but as fate would have it, gods had a hand in it, so it's answered nicely before I got too annoyed by the unlikelyhood of it.My only real qualms about this series is that there will only...

Review:Wonderful storytelling as always! It was fantastic to read from a boy's point of view for the first time here, but it seriously made me want to go back and read the other books he's in. Defiantly lends a totally new perspective to the stories! Read more

Review:Veralidaine Sarrasri, commonly called Daine, receives a cry for help from the wolves of the Long Lake Pack. They tell Daine about the tree-cutting and awful amount of noise that is scaring away all of the prey in Dunlath Valley. When Daine and Numair finally arrive in Dunlath, they realize that there is much more going on then that. They find out that Lady Yolane and Tristan, Numair's old classmate, are planning something that will jeopardize Queen Thayet's throne.
In the second book of The I... Read more

Review:Written by Marjorie Liu (X-23, Black Widow) and illustrated by Sana Takeda (X-23, Ms. Marvel), Monstress stands distinctly apart from the usual sword & sorcery dark fantasy comic, starting with the fact that most of the main characters are female as are most of the powers that be. But this is no simplistic or heavy-handed feminist take on the genre - it's done very subtly and naturally so that we simply accept that this is the way this world is, nothing more, nothing less. The artwork is viv... Read more

Review:If you've read the first two Reckoners books you're going to read this one anyway, and you won't regret it. As a whole the trilogy is great, and the first 75% of this book is great. Even though it's marketed as YA I thoroughly enjoy it as an adult; it's "lighter" than Brandon's other fantasy, but still written intelligently with an engaging, generally well-paced plot and action and fantastic world building.

Unfortunately the end of this book (which is also the end of the trilogy) felt r... Read more
