Some Fables Are More Equal Than Others

Fables: Animal Farm by Bill Willingham

by Leave a Comment

After reading the first volume of Fables for Bingo, I decided to keep going with the second one since it was available through Kindle Unlimited.  Jack is working off his community service based on his actions in the previous murder story, while Snow White has decided its time for her annual trip to the farm upstate to check on all the fairy tale exiles that can’t blend in among the humans of the city. Snow White hasn’t heard from the supervisor at the farm in […]

What Rose Marshall Is Up to When She’s Not Playing a Price Aunt

Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

While I was introduced to Rose as one of the ghost aunts to the Price family in the InCryptid series, based on the introduction and afterword of this collection, Seanan McGuire has been writing about Rose Marshall, a hitchhiker ghost, for much longer, and only later decided to include her in as part of the extended family. Rose slipped into InCryptid so seamlessly that I didn’t even realize until reading this that she wasn’t added until later since her and Mary aren’t exactly friendly initially. […]

After the end of the Game of Thrones show, I found myself in a bit of a withdrawal, which meant it seemed like the perfect time to read A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.  Part of me would love to do a reread of the series thus far, but it’s a big commitment, and I think I keep hoping for a real release date for The Winds of Winter to coincide with the reread – assuming that book is ever released (as far as the […]

Time for the Little Sister

Heroine's Journey by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

I read the first two novels in this trilogy last year and really enjoyed them.  They have a very comic book feel, focusing on romantic heroines with superpowers.  Many of the scenes are ridiculously over the top but entertaining (such as possessed wedding dresses and armies of angry brides).  This novel is set a few years after the original two which took place within a short amount of each other.  This is due to the fact that this novel follows Bea Tanaka, the younger sister […]

Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill

Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

This is the second novella in the Wayward Children series, and I was slightly surprised with the topic. The first novella was about a boarding school for children who return from magical worlds reached by cupboards and secret passages, and are having trouble adjusting to life back home because they want to go back.  I expected that the second novella would be more adventures at the boarding school, or possibly explore the idea of other schools.  After all, this is for children that want to […]
