Who knew assassins and magic could get boring?

January 4, 2015 by BookNinja Leave a Comment

Sworn in Steel is the second of the Tales of the Kin by Douglas Hulick. The first was a brilliant tale of a Nose (basic level criminal who seeks out secrets for money) who is smuggling a book full of magic, which turns out to be more important than he had expected. It’s engrossing, full of fascinating details about the criminal underworld he lives in, and comes to a good ending, not cliffhanger-y, but makes you want to read more. I promptly sought out book […]

Better, but still not quite there.

December 31, 2014 by narfna 2 Comments

I liked this better than the first one, especially at the end. This was bound to happen since I’m spending so much time with these characters, and Abraham is a consistent, talented writer. The first half continued a lot of the issues I had with the first book, though, so I can’t really give this four stars. Maybe the third book will earn it?

I did it, I really really did it!

It’s a Fables encyclopedia. But, more importantly, I made it!!  I almost didn’t think I was going to.  This has been wonderful fun.  I’m definitely signing up for next year, except I’m only committing to a half Cannonball.  With a new baby on the way, and how close I came to the wire on this one, I don’t think I can make it to 52 next year.  Thanks to everyone for the interesting reviews and to MsWas for keeping this ship afloat.  I hope everyone […]

The most dangerous game. . . in space!

December 31, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

Yes, it’s another Doctor Who novel.  And this one manages to have the Doctor, Amy and Rory on the cover.  Poor Rose.

Why wasn’t Rose on my cover?

December 31, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

Seriously, mine just has the Doctor on it.  Do people really hate Rose that much that they had to make two covers?

Harajuku Rapunzel

December 31, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

First Gwen Stefani, now Rapunzel?  I do have to say, I love her style, especially that bathroom haircut and her final fight outfit with that fuzzy coat that I’m not going to tell you what it’s made of.
