“With him, I am forever a night-blooming flower, attracted and repelled by the heat of the sun.”

The Stolen Heir by Holly Black

January 8, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

Wren thought she was a normal human girl until the night when scary monsters out of a nightmare came and claimed she was in fact their daughter and had to come back to Faerie with them. Lord Jarel and Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth rip away her human glamour and make sure that Wren sees her human parents reject her faerie self (bluish skin, blue hair, mouth full of razor-sharp teeth) with horror and disgust. The cruel faeries, accompanied by the fearsome Stormhag […]

“Walking along a blade’s edge was only fun until the blade stopped being a metaphor.”

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

November 9, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Bird (bird in the title, bird on the cover, love interest turns into a bird, there are so many birds in this story) Isobel lives in a little town where it’s always summer. This is because her town is just on the border of the Faerie lands, and most of the people who live there are valued by the Fair folk because of their Craft (anything that basically involves creating something, be it building, sewing, baking, cooking, or painting), acts that the Fey […]

You’re a cold-hearted snake…

Be the Serpent by Seanan McGuire

October 26, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Series (this is book 17 in an ongoing series, do NOT start here). Could easily also have used this book for Snake and New.  Spoiler warning! This is book 17 in the series. It’s impossible to review the book without referring to events in earlier books, so if you want to remain completely unspoiled, skip this one. I’ll try to avoid any big spoilers for this book. October “Toby” Daye not only survived her wedding, but so did her husband, Tybalt, King of Cats, and all […]

Oh Look—It’s a Payoff!

Be the Serpent by Seanan McGuire

October 2, 2022 by LittlePlat 2 Comments

Same disclaimer as per usual; if you are reading a review of a long-running series—and Be the Serpent is entry number 16—you know what to expect spoiler-wise. I’ll try not to mention too much in this book, but the others are all fair game.  Another thing with long running book series is that there is a lot of potential for very long plot arcs. While most books in the October Daye series have a little surprise or two, there was something set up in A […]

A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses #1) by Sarah J. Maas

September 5, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

This is apparently a hot new series. I had no idea when my friend recommended it to me. I tried to borrow this first book from the library and found a whole bunch of people waiting in front of me. I was excited when I finally got it though! It actually took me a while to get into it though. We meet the main character Feyre hunting in the woods. That part I was OK with. She seemed to hunt with honor and needed the […]

Get me to the church (or whatever location the fae get married) on time

When Sorrows Come by Seanan McGuire

October 31, 2021 by Malin 4 Comments

CBR13 Bingo: Flora (there are a number of trees in the background and Toby appears to be holding a rose in her left hand. She also has a belt of roses on her dress) Spoiler warning! This is book 15 (!) in the ongoing October Daye series. So very much not the place to start. There will be spoilers for previous books in the series in this review, although I shall try to avoid any big ones for the contents of this current book. Rosemary […]
