We know where the Dragon’s Maw is, where is Paw?: Part two

Scales & Scoundrels V01: Into The Dragon’s Maw by Sebastian Girner

March 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

As I have said before, I do not usually reread a book. However, I have had a book in the “give away pile” for longer than I can remember. If I looked at it, I thought, “Did I read that? I had to. It is in the “give away” box. But I do not remember reading it….” Recently I grabbed the book and said, “FINE! We are solving this once and for all! I am reading it!” And I started Scales & Scoundrels V01: Into […]

“Bind your fate to mine”

Lore by Alexandra Bracken

February 22, 2021 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: Every seven years, the Agon begins.

a traditional fairy tale: nasty and unfair

Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir

February 21, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

A princess, a tower, a witch, a fairy- you know this story, right? If you are well-versed in the nasty beginnings of most beloved fairy tales, then probably yes. If you are familiar with the delightfully cracked work of Tamsyn Muir then also, yes. If you are coming in seeing a blonde princess in a tower and thinking Disney, then absolutely not! Princess Floralinda is your traditional princess: beautiful, naïve, and imprisoned in a tower. She was put up there by a witch; and while […]

A Love Story Even a Non-Romance Person Can Fall For

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

February 20, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Romance is really not my genre; for one thing I’m very much ace and spent most of my growing up time wondering what was wrong with all the story people who apparently have no self-control with the lust and related emotional stuff. However, sometimes, there comes along a romance that has enough other elements, like actually interesting characters, plot, and/or setting, that I can appreciate the whole thing, romance focus or not. Winter’s Orbit is one of these kinds of stories. In some ways this […]

Delightfully unsettling, Lovecraftian adventure

The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher

February 17, 2021 by msvreadsbooks 1 Comment

What a journey this book was… This year, I’m trying to branch out and read in different genres and modes, and this book is definitely something that I wouldn’t have picked up before.  The Hollow Places follows Kara (sometimes called Carrot) who moves in with her uncle to help him run his Museum of Wonders after her divorce. It’s a convenient arrangement for each of them as Kara avoids moving in with her mother – whom she loves, but wouldn’t love living with – and […]
