A Hard Life And Dark Magic

The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

February 2, 2020 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

The story itself doesn’t shy away from the dangers of both life for young women (which may be very troubling for some readers-many serious issues are discussed and Alex has had a hard life) and unfettered magic use in this world. Alex’s backstory is engaging and while she has a clever retort for most situations, the pain and trouble that fuels her make the young woman very sympathetic. Please feel free to take a look at my other reviews.

Magically Suspicious

The Zig-Zag Girl by Elly Griffiths

January 10, 2020 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

Obviously, there are parallels between the work of learning sleight-of-hand and sweating out a book. It’s a credit to her skill that she was able to use one to accurately portray the other.

Living Dead Girls

Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

January 10, 2020 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

It’s a roller-coaster ride, no doubt. One filled with swords and skeletons. Which begs the question: can a necromancer be ride-or-die? Or are they ride-AND-die?

Lies, Conspiracies, And Magic

Summer Knight by Jim Butcher

May 14, 2017 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

It’s for these reasons, as well as the increased confidence Butcher shows in the writing that Summer Knight is one of my favorite in the series, (the rest of which are constantly shifting in rank as they are reread). As a person who likes to start a series in the beginning, it’s startling to consider that this book is probably the best place to enter the Dresden Files series of books if you want a delicious serving of adventure without the early-days problems that dog […]

The Years Change A City

Leaving Berlin by Joseph Kanon

February 5, 2017 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

This is the first book by Kanon I’ve read, and it has ensured that this will not be the last. He paints a vivid picture of the shabby glamour and desolation of Berlin, and of the struggles of the people who are just trying to survive after having a brutal separation imposed on them by outside forces after the horrors of WW2.

False Smiles And Coded Letters

Our Man In Charleston by Christopher Dickey

January 22, 2017 by BlackRabbit 2 Comments

A consul could be a valuable witness and resource to his superiors during a time of unrest, and the time leading up to the Civil War was certainly one of those.
