I love musicals and I like Opera. I love Phantom of the Opera and I love great female characters with ambition. Of course Terry Pratchett’s going to combine all this into one perfect little book. Granny and Nanny are witches in a coven who’ve recently lost their third witch. Unfortunately they discover that you really need the third witch to balance stuff out, so they come up with a plan to recruit Agnes Nitt to be part of their little gang. You needed at least […]
Killer Whale fae? Yes please!
I’m catching back up with Toby Daye, who’s settling back into life after the events of A Late Eclipse. Tybalt has done another of his disappear-for-months-on-end acts, but Toby now has a knowe of her own to take care of, and has taken up with Connor again following his separation from Rayseline. But then someone goes and kidnaps the sons of the ruler of Saltmist, from the Undersea, tipping the factions of faerie towards war. Into the breach steps Toby, who not only needs to […]
Cats, cats and more cats (Did I mention cats?)
Lisa Ann Scott and Heather Burns have created a new magical series. When Brooke saves a fairy from her cat, that fairy must grant her seven wishes. But everyone knows you should be specific in your wishes and be careful about what you wish for. When she wishes for 100 cats, little does Brooke realize that sometimes less is more! Too Many Cats book one in the Wish Fairy series is straight forward. Adults will realize right off how Brooke’s wish will go wrong. They […]
Party On, Princess!
I like knowing that if I recommend a book to a child there will be other books by the author. Or in this case, more in a series. Party Time Book One in the Puppy Princess series combines two things that will tickle the fancy of some readers: puppies and princesses. Party Time is the story of a young puppy princess who just does not want to be proper, behave and take baths. And especially does not want to wear pink ribbons in her fur. […]
Happiness is a warm gun
The last time I reviewed a Brandon Sanderson book, I complained of Sanderson fatigue, the review got featured, and several more people complained about it with me. So it is a bit sheepishly that I confess I not only went back to him but that I read the entire second Mistborn series minus the one book that hasn’t been published yet. And I enjoyed them immensely. In fact, for someone like me who still had fond memories of earlier Cosmere experiences, The Alloy of Law, […]
There’s fiction, and then there’s unbelievable
Ok, so this is my second Ellery James book. Things started out okay. Then they got weird. Well, I mean things were a bit implausible all the way through. Let me give some examples: We begin with our main character, Ella Mae, going home to Georgia after witnessing her husband’s infidelity. So far, so good. The parts that I don’t get are: she found him boinking the two (reheaded) twins from another apartment in the elevator. Like, she presses the button and the door opens […]
