Once I finished, I immediately wanted to read it again.

The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

by 6 Comments

A short and to the point review, for a couple reasons. One, it’s the end of the year, and thus time for a flurry of review posting. I don’t have time for in depth. And two, more importantly, after finishing this book, I felt the need to sit down with someone and have them take me by the hand and explain the book to me bit by bit.  I’m giving this the good old five stars because of how enthralled I was while reading it. […]

One of the very few cases where I like the plot better than the romance.

A Case of Possession (A Charm of Magpies, #2) by K.J. Charles

by Leave a Comment

The first book did need a sequel, and this was a pretty good one! It addressed: the power imbalance between Stephen and Crane; the issue of their homosexuality and how it would affect them going forward if they were found out (Crane doesn’t care, but it would ruin Stephen’s life); the issue of Stephen’s newfound power, which comes from the relationship (coughcough) between Stephen and Crane, but which his colleagues presume is evidence of him becoming a warlock (a warlock is someone who drains life […]

Just some rambling thoughts about a book I love.

Prince's Gambit (Captive Prince, #2) by C.S. Pacat

I re-read this whole trilogy in October, but I only ended up writing a review for #2. Oh, well. I’m not going to be able to write a real review of this. It would just come out garbled with enthusiasm. Instead, I’m going to do a real spoilery bullet point thing and see what comes out. Absolutely do not read any further unless you’ve already read all three books. *If Laurent didn’t already know that Damen was Damianos, he would know by the end of […]

One of my favorite books I read in 2019.

Think of England by K.J. Charles

I loved this! It hit all my K.J. Charles sweet spots: historically accurate time period indulgence; unique main characters with great chemistry; a plot that not only holds my attention, but actually makes me look forward to it; that thing she does all the time but so casually, where she takes a time period and shows that it wasn’t just full of straight white people; and of course, all that character culmination results in good sex scenes that are not only sexy, but also illuminate […]

The Magpie Lord (A Charm of Magpies, #1) by K.J. Charles

Really liked this! You can barely tell that this was her first book. It was pretty short, and for the most part that was fine, but there were parts where she sums up conversations instead of showing them, where I wanted her to actually show them. There’s a significant story that Crane tells Stephen about how he got his tattoos, and we don’t get to hear it at all! She also glossed over their initial bonding and friendship. But other than that, this was actually […]
