First things first: if it’s been a while since you’ve read The Girl With All The Gifts, you should probably re-read it or at least give it a skim. I ended up having to reference The Girl With All The Gifts a few times to be able to properly set… Read more »
I have to say, I’m really digging this series. Winter of the Gods is an excellent follow-up to The Immortals (reviewed here), the dark middle chapter of Jordanna Max Brodsky’s Olympus Bound trilogy. Brodsky takes the world she built in The Immortals and expands it beyond just the reach of the Olympian gods…. Read more »
This was… an interesting read. It’s actually kind of hard to classify (I like my classifications, dang it), because it starts out as a psychological horror story and halfway through morphs into something more like a crime thriller. The shift makes perfect sense in the context of the story, but… Read more »
I think I stumbled upon this book while fighting insomnia one night. It must have been in an email from Amazon, and after I read the sample chapter, I was intrigued and bought it, hoping for an interesting apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic YA novel. Angelfall has a few problems, but overall? I got… Read more »
Magic? Check. Victorian setting? Check. Complex female protagonist? Check. Eldritch monsters bent on destroying the United Kingdom? Check. This book is basically everything I wanted in a novel but didn’t realize until I’d started reading. The story itself doesn’t tread a lot of new ground; the plot is a familiar one,… Read more »
Whilst in the middle of this book, I woke up at 3 am to take care of the sort of business pregnant people take care of at 3 in the morning, and as I was going back to sleep, I found myself thinking, ‘I could grab my phone and read… Read more »
For a while, I thought I wasn’t going to really like this book, but I’m glad I stuck with it because it turned out to be way stronger in the character development department than many books I’ve read lately. Feyre, the heroine, is stubborn as hell and starts out intensely… Read more »
It’s been a while since the second book in Cronin’s The Passage series came out; four years, in fact. If you’re a fan of the series and haven’t done a re-read in a while, you might want to before reading The City of Mirrors. It drops you into the story a… Read more »
I’m always intrigued by books where I can’t decide if I like the main character or not. Selene DiSilva, formerly known as the goddess Artemis, is not the most likable person. She may have lost her divine powers along with the rest of the Greek gods, but she’s never really… Read more »
First things first: I love everything I’ve read so far by M.R. Carey, starting with his run on the X-Men comics all the way through The Girl With All The Gifts. I especially adore his Felix Castor series, and it’s still one of my favorite urban fantasy series. So I might… Read more »
