“No. There are people in this world who learned the lessons I never did, the lessons that our son has learned all too late – that you are right. There is no magic fix. That a better world can only be brought by what we give to one another, and nothing more.”

Locklands (The Founders Trilogy, #3) by Robert Jackson Bennett

January 9, 2023 by narfna 6 Comments

I bought this book on release day (over six months ago) and for some reason never read it. I’ve been really weird about endings the last couple of years. I still haven’t seen the finale to The Good Place even though it is one of my favorite TV shows of all time, and it took some peer pressure (and my sister literally turning it on for me) for me to watch the Jane the Virgin series finale. I suppose I haven’t finished many book series […]

A five-star trilogy. #CBRBINGO – Series

City of Miracles (The Divine Cities, #3) by Robert Jackson Bennett

October 28, 2022 by narfna 4 Comments

“My definition of an adult is someone who lives their life aware they are sharing the world with others. My definition of an adult is someone who knows the world was here before they showed up and that it’ll be here well after they walk away from it. My definition of an adult, in other words, is someone who lives their life with a little fucking perspective.” – – – This series flies so far under the radar, and it deserves much more praise than […]

Three five-star books in a row; what are the odds? (Nm don’t tell me the odds.)

City of Blades (The Great Cities, #2) by Robert Jackson Bennett

August 17, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

“Not one war, she realizes—every war, all wars ever fought by humanity. Never one side prevailing over the other, never separate and disparate groups, but a blazing, monstrous act of self-mutilation, as if humanity itself was cutting open its own belly to send its intestines spilling into its lap. The sword speaks to her: Are you these things? Is this you?” This series continues to be so good, and in such unexpected ways. It’s just so rich in basically every way a story can be rich: in […]

Times are changing and not for the better

Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett

July 24, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo 3: Time Shorefall is the middle part of a trilogy and you can definitely tell; everything goes from bad to worse for nearly everyone, good and bad. The time element actually has several applications here: first, there’s a race against time as the good guys Sancia, Gregor, Orso, and Berenice try to stop the return of first hierophant Crasedes who is probably mega-evil, and when that doesn’t work, they discover Crasedes might be able to use scriving to manipulate time, or he’s somehow […]

What if computers were actually kind of magic and programmers only half understood binary?

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

April 23, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

In Foundryside, what starts out as a heist caper gone horribly wrong becomes a heist caper tale to save the world in which a band on unlikely companions must put aside  differences to stop someone from achieving immortality in a destructive way. Sancia is the thief and the main perspective for much of the story, but she’s pretty one note; she’s had to survive a lot and her past is traumatic, although when she finally faces some of it, the memories do sort of help […]

“Historians, I think, should be keepers of truth. We must tell things as they are – honestly, and without subversion. That is the greatest good one can do.”

City of Stairs (The Divine Cities, #1) by Robert Jackson Bennett

February 25, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

Rating four stars (4.5, really) on the side of caution with full knowledge that I could come back here very soon and bump this up to five stars. How many five-star reviews is too many to give out in one month? Anyway, this book was great! This is only the second series I’ve read by Robert Jackson Bennett, but I feel like it might have bumped him up to my favorite authors list. I five-starred both published books in his latest series, so I had […]
