Muskets and magic, and females in disguise, oh my!

The Thousand Names by Django Wexler

December 31, 2018 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

The Thousand Names has sat on my 2013 TBR shelf for five years now.  Each time I would pick it up I would go, “Eh” and set it back down.  There wasn’t any real reason for my dislike.  My husband had read this and two subsequent books and liked them all.  But for some reason each time I picked it up and the knowledge that it was in part about a colonial like military campaign would give me pause and back on the shelf it […]

This series is just so atmospheric.

The Girl in the Tower (The Winternight Trilogy, #2) by Katherine Arden

December 31, 2018 by narfna Leave a Comment

I need to remember when it comes time to read #3 in this series that I will need at least a week to get through it. Arden’s writing is lovely and her story fascinating and absorbing, but I find it stressful as hell, and I kept having to put it down before I could keep going again. Basically every bad thing that can happen, does. (But by the end, you get a nice sense of resolution, which is necessary because of all the previously mentioned […]

This book is definitely extra.

Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass, #7) by Sarah J. Maas

December 31, 2018 by narfna 2 Comments

I have so many THOUGHTS about this book that I am going to go the other route and only hit the highlights. I am already ten reviews behind and I’m not going to have time today to write them all, so I might honestly have to declare REVIEW AMNESTY and start fresh in the new year. (Although there are some books I really want to actually review.) Here are my thoughts in no particular order: This book was TOO LONG. 992 pages is about two […]

And now the end is near…

Always Forever by Mark Chadbourn

December 31, 2018 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

After slogging through its predecessor over a matter of weeks, I tore through Always Forever (the last in the Age of Misrule trilogy) in just two days, although this had more to do with wanting to read the tower of books I got for Crimbo than with how much I was enjoying it. To be fair, I did enjoy this one more than the Darkest Hour, but it never quite got back to the same level as the opener, World’s End. We left Darkest Hour with […]

A supernatural murder mystery

Iron & Velvet (Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator #1) by Alexis Hall

December 30, 2018 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Iron & Velvet by Alexis Hall is a paranormal F/F romance mystery. I’m always up for anything paranormal with a broody detective, so this was right up my alley. Kate Kane is a private investigator for the supernatural underworld of London. Even though she has a fairy mother, she lives her life as a human, only calling on her untested powers for emergencies. The book opens with a werewolf’s murder outside an elite vampire club. Kate’s called onto the case by her ex-boyfriend Patrick who basically […]

Think if fantasy world Romeo and Juliet had better or absent parents

City of Lies by Sam Hawke

December 30, 2018 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I made myself a promise: no more starting a new read until I finish the four partially read books on my coffee table. Not counting the occasional graphic novel. At least one of those books has been on that coffee table unfinished for I think a year, maybe a little more. I here review not that book, but one that I knew I could finish and review before 2018 runs out. I started City of Lies over the summer (July, I think?), got 2/3 way […]
