CBR15 Bingo: In the Wild

Magic Claims by Ilona Andrews

August 10, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars CBR15 Bingo: In the Wild (partly set in a big, spooky wood AND featuring shifters) This short novel, which originally was planned as a novella (but the authors just couldn’t fit all of the story into such a short format, for which their fans are grateful) is the second of the Wilmington Years stories, which could clearly also be called Kate and Curran spectacularly fail at a quiet and uneventful retirement. In the previous story, Magic Tides, Kate has to rescue a bunch […]

Kate’s back, baby!

Magic Tides by Ilona Andrews

January 22, 2023 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars While this book is the start of a new chapter in the lives of Kate Daniels and her family, I suspect this book will work a lot better if you’ve read at least some of the previous thirteen books and various novellas. As always, I would recommend strongly skipping the first book (as do the authors themselves). Start with book 2, Magic Burns. Set seven years after Magic Triumphs (and about two years before the events of Blood Heir), Kate, her former Beast-Lord […]

The book, "Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder" by Aliette de Bodard standing next to an almost complete book bingo card.

Tasty bite of fantasy with fallen angels and shifters with a setting drawing from Vietnamese culture. Bingo #7!

Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder by Aliette de Bodard

November 11, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

CBR14 Bingo: “Elephant” – There’s a metaphorical elephant in the room, no one seems willing to discuss how the system of repressing people’s freedoms is causing the rot at the heart of the dragon empire. First of all, thank you, Emmalita, for bringing this to my attention.  You were right, I did enjoy it and it’s the perfect length for this stage of the bingo game!  Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder is a novella set after the events of de Bodard’s “Dominion of the Fallen” […]

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

November 9, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Bird (bird in the title, bird on the cover, love interest turns into a bird, there are so many birds in this story) Isobel lives in a little town where it’s always summer. This is because her town is just on the border of the Faerie lands, and most of the people who live there are valued by the Fair folk because of their Craft (anything that basically involves creating something, be it building, sewing, baking, cooking, or painting), acts that the Fey […]

Honey Badger Don’t Care

Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston

December 14, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

Disclaimer! This was an ARC from Netgalley. It has in no way influenced my review.   This is the fourth book in an ongoing series. While this book works on its own, it will be much more enjoyable if you’ve read the first three books in the Honey Badger Chronicles, which start with Hot and Badgered. While the first three books in the Honey Badger Chronicles introduce us to the three MacKilligan sisters Charlie, Stevie, and Max who have different mothers but the same utterly […]

When Sorrows Come by Seanan McGuire

October 31, 2021 by Malin 4 Comments

CBR13 Bingo: Flora (there are a number of trees in the background and Toby appears to be holding a rose in her left hand. She also has a belt of roses on her dress) Spoiler warning! This is book 15 (!) in the ongoing October Daye series. So very much not the place to start. There will be spoilers for previous books in the series in this review, although I shall try to avoid any big ones for the contents of this current book. Rosemary […]
