Sherry Thomas branches out into young adult fantasy

April 16, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Summary from Goodreads: It all began with a ruined elixir and a bolt of lightning.  Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation – or so she has been told. The one prophesied for years to be the saviour of the Realm. It’s her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the most powerful tyrant and mage the world has ever known.

Don’t go into the woods

April 15, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

3.5 stars This is book four in an ongoing series. It is not the place to start. This review will contain mild spoilers for things that happened in previous books. If you are interested (I think the series is very entertaining and doing something different from most paranormal fantasy, I know others who strongly disagree), you should start with book one, Written in Red. Both the human and the supernatural inhabitants in the Lakeside courtyard are concerned about the further scheming of the Humans First […]

Mirror mirror on the wall, why is Mira so unbelievably naive?

February 15, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Mirabelle has been raised by her extremely overprotective guardians, knowing that her parents died in a fire on the night of her christening. She desperately wants answers about her parents and her background, but her two guardians are none too forthcoming, and so Mira feels she has no choice but to run away. To make sure that the women who raised her don’t immediately track her to Beau Rivage, the place where she was born, she spends the six months before her 16th birthday creating […]

Insert Witty Shakespeare Pun Here

January 15, 2016 by Lizbth 4 Comments

Another year, another attempt to complete a Cannonball goal, which I have dropped down to the quarter cannonball. My reading is not the problem here. It’s my reviewing that sucks balls. Also, my terrible, terrible, awful, beautiful Destiel fanfiction habit. I read like three books for the latter half of last year because of the sheer volume of fanfiction I read, it’s not even funny. Maybe ten books. Certainly no more than ten. Maybe fifteen. But whatever! This year I shall intersperse my crack habit […]
