“Love was the destroyer. It made mourners, widows, left misery in its wake. Grief and love were one and the same. Grief was the shadow love left when it was gone.”

Rules of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo

September 21, 2023 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo – Take Flight This is the final book both in the King of Scars duology, and in Bardugo’s entire Grishaverse, and it wraps everything up very satisfyingly. We were reunited with some favorite characters from across her universe, good triumphed over evil, and love melted even the most grief-stricken and cold hearts. (Sidenote: I’ve chosen this book for the”take flight” bingo category because aerial warfare has a huge role in this world, not to mention two characters who develop the skill of flight […]

Hexed (2021) by Julia Tuffs

August 23, 2023 by drmllz Leave a Comment

Bingo square ‘Bodies, Bodies’: The main character has to deal with the uncontrollable nature of her own body and its possibly controllable impulses, and there’s also discussion of how men feel entitled to women’s bodies and reducing women to bodies. Hexed (2021) is a witchy YA book and a fun short-ish read. After being forced to move around a lot by her slightly flaky mother, Jessie Jones has just started at a new high school near her family’s roots on the Isle of Wight (a […]

A prince, an aging dragon, and a mysterious maiden should have gone out for a drink, instead they did a little battle

Three Tasks for a Dragon by Eoin Colfer 

August 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like a good fairy tale, legend, mythology, or folklore story. Therefore, when I saw the cover of  Three Tasks for a Dragon I figured it would be a fun story in that line of storytelling that would be about a dragon and his redemption story. And it is somewhat that; but it is also the loss of innocence, loss of youth, the greed for power, and the magic of true love and cherries. It was the illustrations of P. J. Lynch that kept pulling […]

You Wish Volume One by Jeff Victor

August 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was browsing through my online reading links and found You Wish Volume One. Only I did not realize it was volume one. It looked like a one time graphic novel story. But nope, there will be more. How many I am not sure, but since it is a series probably more than I want to get into as I hate waiting for sequels! But since this Jeff Victor series is not starting until January 2024, I will have a loooooooong while to wait for […]

Amoralman: A True Story and Other Lies by Derek Delgaudio

CBR15 BINGO: Adulthood, because it describes how the author grew into himself and his career Bingo! Take the Skies, Relation”Ship”, North America, You Are Here, Adulthood A couple of years back, a friend recommended (nay, demanded) that I get a free 30-day Hulu subscription so I could watch Derek Delgaudio’s In & Of Itself. I hate signing up for subscriptions to watch one show or movie, but it sounded intriguing and the friend assured my husband and me that we would appreciate it. A show […]

I appreciate the hard work that went into creating the book, though

Cruel Illusions by Margie Fuston

August 15, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had seen the cover of Cruel Illusions as an online reader copy ages back. I saved the link but never got around to reading it, and then the link expired. No big deal, I’d get to it eventually, and recently I requested it via an interlibrary loan. Well, I almost wish I hadn’t. The cover lied. To a point. It would have (at the end) the roses and the main character dressed like that, but that romanticism was pushed all until the end (except […]
