The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

by Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This is the third and final book in the Folk of the Air trilogy. Don’t read this review if you haven’t read the previous two book, it’s impossible to review the story without mentioning events from earlier. If you want to start the series at the beginning (since the series is completed now), The Cruel Prince is the first book. Official book description: “He will be destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne.” Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. […]

Something Wicked & Fae Comes This Way

Trailer Park Fae (Gallow and Ragged 1) by Lilith Saintcrow

by Leave a Comment

I loved Lilith Saintcrow‘s Jill Kismet series, which I need to start back reading again. When I learned she had a fae urban fantasy series, Gallow and Ragged, I got pretty excited the library had the audiobooks. The first book Trailer Park Fae introduces the reader to two warring Sidhe Fae courts. The land of Summer is ruled by a ruthless Queen who hates the Winter King. UnWinter oversees his dark and dangerous realm. The two courts rule their respective seasons in the human world. […]

Another rather forgettable Harris book

by Leave a Comment

Official book description: Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town. There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his […]

Fae Murder Mystery in San Francisco

Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

Rosemary and Rue is the first book in the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire. I’ve been meaning to read this forever. I’m a big fan of detective mysteries and urban fantasy. I’m very happy to review it for the And So It Begins CBR11 bingo square. October Daye, Toby for short, is a changeling and a knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills. In this universe, the Fae are hidden to humans and live amongst them in secret. Toby’s mother is a powerful […]

There isn’t really peace when you are done

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

by 2 Comments

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is the second book in a series, and this review will contain spoilers for the first book, Carry On. If you haven’t already read it, you should do yourself a favour and do so. Simon Snow was the Chosen One, destined to bring an end to the threat to all magic. Of course, it turned out that he himself was in fact the thing that was threatening the magic in the first place, and his mentor/father figure (and actual biological father, although none […]
