Thanks to the totally awesome and amazing KatSings, I now have two new books gracing my library shelves! I suppose I could have waited until Christmas to open them, but one already has a slight tear in the paper, so I just helped it along. 🙂 I am super excited; this is a series and an author I’ve heard a lot about, but haven’t gotten around to diving into yet and now I have no excuse! Thank you, KatSings! (I also want to […]
Not That Matthew Lewis
Although I do like the idea of Neville Longbottom penning gothic horror novellas late into the night in the Gryffindor common room. But I also think Neville probably has more creativity than this. Part of my issue with this one is that I don’t know enough about gothic horror to determine if this is a cheeky spoof on the genre or if Lewis is all about cavalier bro-dudes and virginal women. And, even though my copy of the book came with footnotes and an introduction, […]
Noncanonical Miss Fisher Mysteries Crossover
That is, if Phryne Fisher would ever let herself be murdered or stay in her grave long enough for someone else to solve her murder. Nevertheless, our murder victim in Many Deadly Returns, eccentric, elderly Lady Crystal certainly would have Charleston’ed her way into Miss Fisher friendship back in the day. It’s the 60’s now and Lady Crystal’s friends have all grown up and become respectable members of society. But they still have a special place in their hearts for her and when she calls saying […]
Put Seven in the Series Title, But Then Only Make Six Books
I know my past reviews of this series have not been great, but that’s because it had so much potential and it just kind of meandered all over the place. This final book, though, took all of that potential, set it on fire and then stomped on the ashes. For starters, why name your series The Seventh Tower and then only have six books? It’s crazy pants. I’m guessing relations soured between Nix and Lucas Books, which caused the series to come to an abrupt […]
I Guess It’s a Better System of Government Than A Watery Tart Throwing a Sword at You
I honestly don’t remember if Milla made it back in the last book or in this one, so we’re going to pretend it’s this one because I do, at least, remember that this book was Milla heavy. So Milla becomes the War Chief of all Icecarls because…reasons. She makes it back to The Crones, accidentally killing a Shield Maiden in the process, and gets them up to date on the upcoming war. Since she has a shadow spirit now, she’s not allowed back into Icecarl […]
Suddenly Serious
It’s hard to keep track where the story is at with these last three books as for some reason, they bundled up the last three in one tome instead on individual books. (Amazon assures me that there are individual copies available, but I have my doubts as the series is hard to come by as it is.) Honestly, the heft of this one makes me yearn for a parallel world where Nix got to fully explore and fill in the details of Aenir and the Castle […]
