The Fan Brothers are at it again. Terry and Eric Fan have created a book dealing with loss; the loss of a beloved grandfather to be precise. On the day that would have been Finns grandfathers’ 90th birthday, he builds a (not so) seaworthy ship to sail as he and his grandfather wished to do. And as the stories of his grandfather told about. But building a ship is a lot of work and Finn grows sleepy and falling fast asleep below deck. It is […]
Don’t eat that but read this!
I know there are a ton of people who will love this book. Don’t Eat That by Drew Sheneman has great potential. There is a lot her to love: A sassy girl. A not to swift bear. The high jinks of a human teaching a bear how to be a bear…. However, for this reader, there was something missing. The girl is an interesting narrator, but never came across as likable to me. She is just too bossy and talks down to the bear to […]
This is the Wonder Woman I Wanted
I was one of the people that liked Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman but didn’t love the movie that much (though the scene where she crosses No Man’s Land was pretty amazing). Something about her character felt too naive to me – “humans are innocent, if I kill Ares, all conflict will stop forever.” As a result, I liked this teenage Wonder Woman much more. She believes in helping humans, giving people opportunities, but also doesn’t think that one thing alone can be blamed for […]
So This Actually Worked …
After reading Malin’s review with Alexis’s comments of this novel, I was intrigued to see how a romance would pull off turning one of the four horsemen, a man responsible for countless deaths through plague, into a romantic lead. And much like they said, it mostly worked. I have rooted for plenty of vampires, shape shifters and other fantastical heroes with a dark past that would be inexcusable in reality but still, someone that can take out hundreds of thousands of lives at once? Definitely […]
Capers are better with magic
After The Prophecy Con was just The Palace Job, rebooted, The Paladin Caper manages to be something new and aaaaaah I love it. I fully recognize that I love these books more than they truly deserve but I don’t care because they are FUN goddammit and sometimes that’s all you need. The OMG cliffhanger at the end of the last book is pretty predictably resolved and I’m okay with it. You won’t be mad either, trust me. This is of course another book in which our trusty crew […]
An Engineer is no match for a Historian with his dander up!
This is a book that has lurked on the edges of my “I should add this to my TBR pile” mental list but somehow never made it on. I saw the trailer for the upcoming film version of it and knew it was something that my kid and I would both like, so I took the plunge. In terms of world building, it’s a unique one in the vast landscape of dystopian, steampunk, young adult fare. Hundreds of years in the future, we have somehow ruined […]
