Gilded Review
We’re back in Meyer’s fairytale world and this time she thoroughly delves into the tale of Rumpelstilskin, creating a distinct new world that unexpectedly fits in with the Halloween season considering the haunted castles and undead creatures that populate it.

The Mark of the Golden Dragon Review
This is one of Jacky’s shorter adventure being under 400 pages but is stuffed to the brim with exploits as only Jacky can do.

The Wake of the Lorelei Lee Review
The irrepresible Jacky Faber is back at it again. Her debt to the Crown seems all squared away until the dasteredly Biffil and Flashby team up to bring Jacky’s good name to the dirt of the gallows. Luckily, her many friends (and admirers) come to her aid during the trial. Not enough to get her…

The Lunar Chronicles: Wire and Nerve Review
This graphic novel continuation of the Lunar Chronicles puts Iko in the spotlight which is a relief as the android realizes she is the forgotten Earthen hero of the war.

Now it might be typical for me to say that a YA book about a ordinary girl becoming the face of a revolution reminds me of The Hunger Games. But it does. It’s a testament to Meyer’s skill because like Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy she doesn’t sugarcoat the ugly aspects of war and revolution. Poor…

The Lunar Chronicles: Cress Review
I really enjoyed Meyer’s take on the classic Rapunzel tale in Cress, giving further insight to the turncoat shell and hacker, Crescent Moon as well as giving Thorne some spotlight as well.
