This is the second book (and series) I’ve read by Sarah J. Maas, and while I enjoyed the other more, I still plan on continuing with this series (mostly because the second book in her other series doesn’t come out for months BOO HISS). Celaena Sardothien is a world-renowned assassin who has been enslaved in a work camp for the past year, for…I just realized I have no idea why. I guess for being an assassin and because the king doesn’t like her (the feeling […]
I still don’t know what to do with this.
It’s been days since I finished this, and I still don’t know what I think about it. I don’t even know if I liked it or if I hated it or if it was a good ending or a bad ending, or if it was even an ending. Like, yes, OBVIOUSLY it was an ending literally because the series is over, but good endings FEEL like endings, you know? Does that answer my question as to whether this is good or not? I have no […]
Scary Picklemen Want Robots to be Evil
Manners & Mutiny is the fourth and final installment of The Finishing School series. The school in question is Madame Geraldine’s Finishing Academy for Yong Ladies of Quality, a flying dirigible where the young lady students study manners and spycraft. The heroine is Sophronia Temminick who, along with her friends Agatha and Dimity, must save the school, London, and probably England from the evil pickle-themed villains, the Picklemen. Much of the action concentrates on discovering and thwarting the Picklemen. There is much less classroom time […]
How Many Wizards Does it Take to Beat an Evil Forest?
In some ways, Uprooted is a very typical fantasy novel. The heroine lives in a village where every 10 years the local wizard Dragon takes a village girl, and keeps her for 10 years. The wizards protects the village from The Woods which is full of evil spirits and general badness. The girls are allowed to leave after 10 years with enough money to support herself for a long time, and always say he never laid a hand on them. When the girl leaves though, […]
Penultimate shenanigans.
The penultimate book in The Unwritten was a bit of a letdown. It felt really unfocused. Granted, the whole thing is about stories coming unraveled, and that might be the point, but either way, it wasn’t a super great reading experience. I feel like there could have been a better way to convey a world that’s lost its purpose without having the story feel a little bit purposeless as well. Tom has finally made it back to the real world after a year of being […]
A disappointing crossover with Fables.
Okay, first of all, what the hell has been going on in Fables while I’ve been away? Shit is MESSED UP. Second of all, this was way more of a Fables story than it was an Unwritten story, and it was a clunky Fables story at that. I haven’t checked in with Fables in years, and the last one I read was Vol. 6, Homelands. That ended in a very, very different place than this one began in, but it’s not hard to get into the […]
