After five novels, Antimony “Annie” Price, the youngest Price sibling finally gets to say her piece. While her older siblings see Antimony as the trap and ambush setting younger sister who has been hanging out at home post high school and playing roller derby, Annie has a rather different view. She is the good, loyal daughter while Verity craves the spotlight, and as a result got them into their current mess: after battling a snake summoned from an alternate dimension on live TV and revealing […]
Gunmetal Magic, or, how I managed to ruin Raphael for myself…
A slight detour in my Kate Daniels read-a-thon, Gunmetal Magic is actually a side novel apparently set between books 5 & 6 – and it’s a side novel I’d have had no clue existed if it wasn’t for the kind Cannonballers who mentioned it, so a big thank you to you all! Until this point we’ve been reading about the adventures of Kate – former merc, now the Consort to the Beast Lord and possessor of a smoking sword and dodgy blood – as she’s […]
They were inconveniently reasonable, these women.
Mary Beard describes the opening of this novel, and because of that I decided to read it. Phew…first off, beware the audiobooks of this one. It’s a public domain book and even though it wasn’t presented as a Librivox production, my edition had like five different narrators, and it was rough going. Anyway, this is a funny book. It’s presented as an adventure novel ala Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Lost World, or even the parodied films in UP. It’s about three […]
Another series to read
I first became a fan of Ilona Andrews (husband and wife writing team) when I happened upon their Hidden Legacy Series through some persuasive Cannonball reviews. I was pleasantly surprised and ready to read some more, which is what led to The Edge series and Book 1: On the Edge (2009). Although this book was not quite as memorable or addictive as I found the Hidden Legacy Series, I could see the beginnings of what makes Andrews’ books so entertaining. Rose Drayton is a young woman, bearing […]
Gotta be ruthless
First off, let’s give a huge round of applause to the cover designer. There have been some amazing covers in the last few years and this is one of the best. The book itself was also pretty enjoyable. It’s apparently in the works to be adapted as a movie by the same people who did Twilight and The Maze Runner. Not too shabby for a debut novel! Zélie Adebola is a young diviner, what her world calls a magi without power. Her world lost magic […]
The baddest bitch of them all
I didn’t love the final book in the Call of Crows series quite as much as I liked the first two. That kind of surprised me because Erin Amsel, who this book focuses on, is a favorite character in the other installments. I still liked her and thought the book was worth reading, it just didn’t have the same pull on me. Perhaps that’s because this book deviates from the first books and I found their sojourn through the various other worlds somewhat uninteresting. There […]
