Let it go, let it go . . . Oh, Elsa, I wish you were real.

April 11, 2014 by narfna Leave a Comment

I apologize for the Frozen reference (except that I don’t). “Let it go,” except in a different context, is really the main theme of this book. And it’s not my fault that Frozen has now co-opted that phrase for all time (point of interest: I am not yet sick of the song or the movie because I have carefully limited my exposure, and also I don’t have any children). Faerie After is the final book in the Bones of Faerie trilogy. This review will probably not […]

I got those faerie winter blues.

April 10, 2014 by narfna Leave a Comment

I liked this one better than Bones of Faerie, but I still had some issues with it. And to be fair, while there was some improvement on some of the things that bugged me from #1, the main reason I enjoyed this one more than the first was that it allowed for more time to be spent in this world and with these characters. (If you’ll recall, my biggest issue with the first book was that it was too short.) Faerie Winter picks up about […]

The Emperor’s New Groove

April 10, 2014 by narfna Leave a Comment

So I bought a new bookmark right before I started this, but I never even used it once. Just read this sucker straight through. What is this guy’s brain. Honestly, I’m trying to think of a reason NOT to give this five stars, and I can’t? Help. It really and truly does not compute in my head how Brandon Sanderson is able to keep inventing these really awesome, really well thought out magic systems, and on top of all that, still give us great characters, […]

Is it wrong to dream for a dystopia?

April 7, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

I just found out that Wil Wheaton did the audio version of this book (which I will be getting shortly).  That in itself should tell you how awesome it is, but you could still read my review if you want.

Who’s got the power, the power to read (among others)?

April 4, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

Like Matilda, I could read at 4-years-old.  Unlike her, my parents encouraged my reading, as I’m doing with my daughter.  In case the title didn’t give it away, her favorite show is Super Why.

Is this the beginning of the end?

April 3, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

So, I met Bill Willingham at a book signing between this book and the last one, Cubs In Toyland.  That book was so freaking sad, and I told him as much and that I hoped that the next one would be lighter.  That’s not what happened.  Now, I’m not complaining, because as gut wrenching as it was, it was good.  He just wants to make us cry,apparently.  (Seriously though, he was really nice when I met him.)
