• War Storm Review

  The Red Queen saga comes to its epic conclusion with a very apt title. Mare and company are fighting three simultaneous wars-on the homefront against the Maven/Lakelander alliance, and within their new Silver-Scarlet Guard-Montfort alliance who obviously disagree on the endgame when Maven is off the throne. The Silvers want Cal’s rightful return but Montfort…

• King’s Cage Review

  Since Mare’s surrender, she has been living her own personal hell as Maven’s glorified doll. Chained up with manacles of Silent Stone and accompained by three Arwens at all times, she’s been forced to speak treason against the Scarlet Guard to weaken their morale, paraded about as a symbol of Maven’s might and to writhe…

• Red Queen Review

  In a world divided by blood, Mare Barrow is nothing special. As a Red (blood), she’s believed that jer place is to serve, to fight, and to die at the whim of the supernaturally powerful Silver (bloods). She’s even less special in her family, a disappointment really as her only skill is a thief compared…

• July Books

  Queen Charlotte by Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes Although I finished the Brigderton series the other year, I am a completist so I had to read this companion book even though it is connected more to the tv series than the original novels. I’ll admit, since it said companion I thought it would be more…

• Ranking Tales of the Frog Princess

  Yep, the same tale that Disney’s The Princess and the Frog was loosely based on. Mainly the kissing the frog and turning into a frog herself part, everything else veers off into a totally original and delightful fractured fairytale about Princess Emma (short for Emerald) and her adventures in honing her magic that include breaking…

• The School for Good and Evil: One True King Review

Since Tedros was revealed to have the final ring, and the wedding crashing went wrong, King Arthur’s ghost comes in with a deus ex machina to give his son…

• The School for Good and Evil: A Crystal of Time Review

  Remember in the last review when I said that I thought I knew the villain. . . Yeah, I was so wrong. Once again, Chainani subverts all my expectations as the Snake and the Lion switch sides (or do they?) just as all the rest of the Evers are scrambling to fight back against a…
