I am so excited about this new fantasy world from John Gwynne. It is everything comforting and familiar and yet somehow so hard to achieve that we look for in fantasy. And the audiobook performance is stunning.
Book Review | Inferno
A quick review for a quick read. With a fantastic, high stakes, fun plot, this book manages to wrap us in the cozy ambiance of Italian art and architecture while also being an adventure worthy of the 2016 film of the same name.
June Wrap Up | 5 Books
I had a lot of fun reading in June! This month I read in spurts--Inferno in a day, It Ends With Us in three--and generally, I was plugging through the new Yanagihara in the meantime. Check out the full slate...
To Paradise (vs. A Little Life)
In To Paradise, Yanagihara has invented a newer, subtler way to torture her readers and her characters: loneliness, helplessness, and self-delusion. All afflictions that more easily land close to home than the operatic suffering of A Little Life.
The Farseer Trilogy | Series Review
What a tragedy to be finished with this trilogy, and to have finished my first journey through this world.
May Wrap Up | 4 Books and Many Updates
So many updates. I'm reading 3 books at once. I read an amazing book of POETRY, believe it or not. I cried. A great month!
April Wrap Up
It's my reading slump era! Come commiserate...
March Wrap Up | 5 Books
Big drops from Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout this month!
Book Review | War of Two Queens
No one is talking about the way this novel is carried by its villain. Armentrout's tendency towards repetition is the Achilles heel of the fourth installment of the From Blood and Ash series, taking away from the magic of a fully built-up fantasy world nearing its climax. A contentious scene didn't seem all that important.
Leia Shorney | GUEST Review | House of Sky and Breath
Anything for you, Rhysand. A guest reviewer was unimpressed with the newest installment of Sarah J. Maas' Crescent City series.
