Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

A Memory of Light (Wheel of Time, #14; A Memory of Light, #3) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

by 6 Comments

First, a confession. I have drunk the Wheel of Time Kool-Aid. I know this because when I started reading this book, I began thinking of an eventual re-read of the whole series. To say I was surprised by this desire is a bit of an understatement. Halfway through my Wheel of Time journey, if you would have asked me about the possibility of re-reading this series sometime in the future, my reply would have been along the lines of, “Um, whyyyyyy.” But now it’s, “Maybe?” And that right there should be enough to tell you how much I appreciated this last […]

Since When Does Dina Have a Sister?

One Fell Sweep by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

I really need to start following authors on Facebook or Twitter! Partially, I just don’t have the patience to check weekly to see if there are updates to a story published by chapter, but I also just forget about these things.  As a result, when I checked on the Ilona Andrews website, I discovered that not only where they already a few chapters into a new Innkeeper Chronicles novel, but I had completely missed the entire third novel since I had no clue who this Maud character was. After the successful conclusion of the peace talks in the second novel, […]

Rainbow Magic

Rainbow Magic Special Edition: Autumn the Falling Leaves Fairy by Daisy Meadows

by Leave a Comment

Best friends Rachel and Kirsty love fall. They want to go apple picking and carve pumpkins and have a hayride. However, this year something is very wrong! It is hotter than summer and nothing is happening as it should! Plants are rotting or not growing at all. The trees are not losing their leaves, making it so there is nothing to rake up and the girls can jump in. When the girls meet Autumn, The Falling Leaves Fairy, they learn why. Jack Frost and the Goblins are up to their old tricks again. Can the girls save Autumn: The season […]

A magical adventure to find Father and self acceptance

Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi

by Leave a Comment

Alice was an odd girl, even for Ferenwood, where the sun occasionally rained and the colors were brighter than usual and magic was as common as a frowning parent. In a world saturated in color, where magic is common place and everyone has a special magical talent, Alice Alexis Queensmeadow stands out as peculiar, for lacking both color and magic.  Skin and hair the white of milk, the only color she possesses is a golden honey hue to her eyes.  At twelve years old, Alice feels that the only person who accepts her for herself is her father.  A father […]

A more melancholy entry in the Wayward Children series.

Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

Down Among the Sticks and Bones is the second novella in Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series. The first, Every Heart a Doorway, took me utterly by surprise when I first read it, and I loved it. It was a touching, gentle story about children and teens who had once been whisked through magical doorways to fairytale lands, only to be returned. Jack and Jill while only side characters in the original, had potentially one of the more intriguing backstories, and I was quite excited to hear that the follow up would be expanding on the time they spent in the […]

I have done hard work and must rest now.

Towers of Midnight (Wheel of Time, #13; A Memory of Light, #2) by Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson

by 2 Comments

This book was THICK. In every sense of the word. My wrists still hurt and I finished it days ago. My brain still hurts also. I needed the last few days to recover a little bit emotionally before I, a) Wrote this review, and b) Jumped into the last book. Long gone are the days where I could read three 1,000+ page books in a row. (I miss those days.) It’s not even that this book was particularly emotionally taxing. The Gathering Storm was much more stressful, in my opinion. It’s just that I read A LOT of pages in […]

Even a Gilded Cage is Still a Cage

The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton

by 3 Comments

Y’ALL, THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD! I heard the author, Dhonielle Clayton, interviewed on a Slate podcast one day (I can’t remember which one) and from the conversation thought her new book, The Belles, sounded interesting. I needed a new book, and I love supporting newer authors, so I figured I would check it out. I am so very, very glad I did. Clayton has written a Young Adult book that deals with consumption culture, the Cult of Beauty, the exploitation of power, the power and strength found in female friendship, and slavery without ever using any of those words. […]

Gotta be ruthless

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

by 1 Comment

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 over a decade ago and magis were all slaughtered, including her mother, by the royals […]
