The Pack goes to Europe.

Magic Rises (Kate Daniels, #6) by Ilona Andrews

July 8, 2022 by narfna 15 Comments

This is my favorite of these books so far. I loved the getting-the-team-together atmosphere, the fish-out-of-water aspect of Kate, Curran, Andrea, et al. faffing around in Europe. It was interesting to see a different setting in this world, and I liked how being far away from home changed the dynamics of Kate’s relationships with the Pack. I also just liked the clarity of the story, and how because Kate and co. are also trying to find their way in unfamiliar territory, there’s a neat symmetry […]

I was going to put all 10 titles under Books, but decided to pick one as felt like cheating

“Now, it’s finally time to reveal some secrets.”

Secret History (Mistborn, #3.5) by Brandon Sanderson

July 7, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 29/30 I liked this even better this time. But Sanderson is right that it’s disjointed so I can’t give it five stars. I teared up a little though! I don’t actually have much to say about this, now that it comes time to write the review. It’s hard to talk about any of it without spoiling way too much for this entire series, including major stuff from both the first and second Mistborn series. It’s definitely best […]

Fox and Boar are friends

Tiny Fox and Great Boar Book Two: Furthest by Berenika Kolomycka

July 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Tiny Fox and Great Boar Book Two: Furthest has three different stories that are connected. Berenika Kolomycka’s second book in this series is set in three different locations. The first is a meadow, the second during their travels and a foggy mountain, and the final one the seaside/the ocean. Now, it might have helped to have known book one, but this book does mostly stand on its own. The format is broken into three chapters that show the travels and adventures of two characters, Tiny […]

Intelligence not so artificial

Made in Korea by Jeremy Holt

July 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You think you are getting one story and it turns around to become another when reading Made in Korea.  Yet it is still the first story!  Jeremy Holt (a nonbinary author) has created a commentary on humanity, life, children, privilege, sexuality, gender and more all bottled up, ready to explode off the page. The words are complimented and enhanced by the art of George Schall. Even when there is light used, the darker overtones come into play. Set in the not too far future, we […]

Let’s go to sleep

The Dreamway by Lisa Papademetriou

July 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I do not remember how I found out about The Dreamway by Lisa Papademetriou but find it I did, and an interlibrary loan is how it came to be in my possession. I would have loved this as a 10-to 13-year-old. The story is cute, but not overly cutesy. There is enough fantasy to grab the fantasy reader, but enough reality to grab them, too. The sibling story is interesting. The narrator’s disability does not come into play a lot (and in fact could be […]
