This series should have been two big books instead of four smaller ones.

City of Dragons (The Rain Wild Chronicles, #3) by Robin Hobb

May 17, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 7/30 This ended just as it was getting going! I understand that there were publishing issues, and logistical things to consider in terms of ballooning page length on this one, but if I were her publishers, I would have just let her turn in one gigantic book late … [Read more]

You Have a Match by Emma Lord

May 17, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 6/30 Reading this right after Perfect on Paper was probably a mistake, because I couldn't help comparing the two of them, to this book's detriment. But I don't think this would have been a full four-star book for me, anyway. Parts of it I really liked, even … [Read more]

Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales

May 17, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 5/30 I haven't read a really solid, really good bordering on great contemporary YA novel in what feels like a really long time. Actually, I just scrolled back through my GR reading challenges, and the last really good/great YA contemporary I read was Concrete … [Read more]

The Pandemic mystery that got me out of my thriller slump

56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard

May 16, 2022 by RaRaGabor 1 Comment

I have been deeply disappointed by the last handful of thrillers I’ve read. It seems like each one has some over the top plot twist or framing device designed to make the author look super clever and creative, but actually just gets my eyes rolling so far back I give myself a headache (see Survive … [Read more]

Fresh Setting, Familiar Story

Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

May 16, 2022 by RaRaGabor 5 Comments

I was ready to absolutely love this book. Honest! Fantasy, based on Chinese mythology, super stunning cover: check, check, check. Xingyin lives on the moon with her mother, Chang’e, the Moon Goddess. Chang’e is loving, but sad, pining for her mortal husband. Xingyin leads a sheltered life, not … [Read more]

    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
