Ending the year on a high note
The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah Maclean
I did it, you guys. Triple Cannonball! Lady Sophie Talbot is the youngest daughter of a coal miner who it’s rumoured won his Earldom in a card game with the Prince Regent. Sophie was quite happy growing up in a little village in Cumbria, dreaming of marrying the baker’s boy and one day running her own bookshop. Moving to London and becoming part of the ton was never her dream, and unlike her sisters, who seem to clamber to outdo each other with regards to […]
The Last of the Marples
At Bertram's Hotel by Agatha Christie
Cannonball! And, oof. I should have been done with this months ago, but I’m such a lazy reviewer. I put things off, because I want each review to be brilliant, but then all that happens is that I get behind, and everything I write is crap. And Agatha Christie deserves better than that. I thought I had reviewed this 11th book in the Marple series before I started the Marple-a-thon, but apparently I was wrong. So this is a good way to end the 2015 […]
A beginning without much substance, but some promise
Girl Genius, vol 1: Agatha Heterodyne and the Beetleburg Crank by Phil & Kaja Foglio
3.5 stars Agatha Clay (although I’m going to assume that this is an assumed name, since she has another one in the TITLE of the book) is one of those diligent students, who no matter how much she wants to suceed just can’t seem to. She’s almost constantly late, she can’t really seem to make her inventions work and she’s a laughing stock at the Transylvania Polygnostic University. To make matters work, during a weird electrical incident in town, she’s robbed and her precious locket, […]
The Cousin’s War book 1 (yes, I’m out of order again!)
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
Elizabeth Woodville, the daughter of Jaquetta of Luxemborg, was married to Sir John Grey, until he was killed in battle. King Edward IV sees her, they meet, and fall in love. They get married in secret, leading the rest of the world (England) to wonder if there was some sorcery at work. People are pretty resentful of this beautiful nobody being raised to be queen, and mother of the heirs to the throne. Lots of intrigue and counter-intrigue, of course. Things go horribly when Edward […]
Cousins War Series Book 6
The King's Curse by Philippa Gregory
So there’s Margaret – she’s a Plantagenet, she’s Henry VII’s cousin, and he’s got her packed away in the country so that people don’t get any ideas about her royal lineage. She’s married to Sir Reginald Pole, just kind of chilling in the countryside. Until she becomes guardian of Henry’s son Arthur and his new wife Katherine of Aragon. She becomes attached to the young couple, and her heart is broken when (spoiler alert), Henry dies. She remains as close as she can to Katherine, […]
