Lightfall: The Girl and the Galdurian by Tim Probert

by Leave a Comment

cbr12bingo Fresh Start I am not usually not a fan of huge open endings of first books in a series, but even with an open ending, Lightfall: The Girl and the Galdurian is a complete story of Bea and her new friend Cad. Tim Probert put fantasy staples throughout, with modern themes, hints of classic tales and wrapped it up all in a sparsely texted story that is beautifully done. This is a charming graphic novel. This fast-paced story is great for the 10 to […]

I’ll Definitely Be Reading More By This Author

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Bingo Square: Green (or Jade as a variation thereof) The e-book version of this was on sale back in January, and given my love of mythology, it seemed like the perfect time to try a new author and learn more about mythical figures outside the Greek and Roman pantheon. Still, the book sat quite a while before I finally picked it up. I quite enjoyed this novel – the writing style at first felt very matter of fact, in line with our no nonsense heroine, […]

Magus of the Library vols. 1-3 by Mitsu Izumi

Bingo Review 3: Pandemic. I’m going a little out of my planned order here, but that’s just the way things turned out. I’d been in a weird head-space for a few days, and I went to a bookstore a little further away because they had something I wanted that the shop closer didn’t. It turns out the place I went had a buy 2 get 1 free deal on manga and graphic novels, so I picked up Magus of the Library 1. That turned out […]

Late to the party, but so glad I finally made it!

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

I knew this would be good (pages and pages of CBR reviews told me so), and I was not disappointed. There was some truly incredible world-building, some interesting writing choices (second-person point of view chapters?), and characters I wanted to hug or fight battles with. I can’t wait to read the next one! It feels silly to recap the plot when everyone has read it already, but here goes (in case this review is the final straw that pushes you into reading it and joining […]

Don’t Mess With a Family of Honey Badgers!

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston

Badger to the Bone by Shelly Laurenston

Bingo Square: Cannonballer Says (emmalita’s review here) I picked up the first novel in the trilogy based on emmalita’s recommendation and ended up reading the entire trilogy  back to back.  I figured out I’d start with some general observations and commentary about the trilogy as a whole and then go into book specific. I have never read anything by Laurenston before but I quite enjoyed this trilogy – it focuses on the Mackilligan sisters, Charlie, Max and Stevie – they all share the same honey […]
