Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope

on October 16, 2019October 16, 2019 Leave a Comment on Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope

Song of Blood & Stone caught my attention with a beautiful cover. The heroine looked fierce, the war imminent. I requested a review copy from NetGalley immediately. What Did I Like? Compelling story, like the beginning of a good fairy tale: two kingdoms, eternally at war, separated by a magical barrier, the Mantle. When the …

A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris

For a long time, A Curse of Ash and Iron have been on the list of the books I was waiting to be published. I noticed it while it was announced as a Strange Chemistry release. Then the Strange Chemistry got shut down. šŸ™ I was happy to hear Christine Norris and Curiosity Quills Press …

Pale Moon Walking by Paula Altenburg

on October 7, 2019October 10, 2019 Leave a Comment on Pale Moon Walking by Paula Altenburg

Historical western novels never attracted me, because I don’t like that era (too dirty and rough for my taste). But lately I’ve given some paranormal novels set in this period a try and I actually quite enjoyed them. So when I saw that Pale Moon Walking is western historical with aliens I was intrigued to …

Book Review

The Reaper of Iremia by Kenneth Rocher

on September 30, 2019October 10, 2019 Leave a Comment on The Reaper of Iremia by Kenneth Rocher

On first glance, the plot of The Reaper of Iremia sounds like something you have read a hundred times before. Calian and Reneia are friends and freshly graduated from the Military Academy. On their first day as members of a City Guard, they encounter a conspiracy. It will take all their skills (and luck) to …

Book Review

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

on September 25, 2019September 25, 2019 Leave a Comment on Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

Its been a while since a book left me with so many mixed feelings as Seveneves did. What Did I Like? Builds on existing technology. Science fiction novels that use the current state of our world as a starting point (or existing science concepts) and then build on it are my favorite kind. For example, …

Book Cover The Beast’s Heart by Life Shallcross
Book Review

The Beast’s Heart by Leife Shallcross

on September 20, 2019September 25, 2019 Leave a Comment on The Beast’s Heart by Leife Shallcross

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales, so I have a weak spot for its retellings. When I saw that The Beast’s Heart was from Beast’s point of view, it was a must-read for me. What Did I Like? French names and setting, as a nod to the place of an …

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

on September 18, 2019September 18, 2019 Leave a Comment on Uprooted by Naomi Novik

If you like fantasy and follow bookish community at least a little, then you have probably heard about Uprooted. For some time now, five-star reviews are pouring in. I had to read it and find out if Uprooted is as awesome as everyone said. What Did I Like? The twist to dragon tribute cliche. The …

Book Review

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

on September 16, 2019September 17, 2019 Leave a Comment on The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

A decade ago, I abandoned the reading of Wheel of Time series when Robert Jordan died. Why didn’t I continue when Brandon Sanderson wrote the rest? That answer would require a deep psychological evaluation of my tendency to neglect series when I make big breaks between books. šŸ™‚ The last couple of years, my husband …

Book Cover The Martian by Andy Weir
Book Review

The Martian by Andy Weir

on September 13, 2019September 16, 2019 Leave a Comment on The Martian by Andy Weir

You have already heard about The Martian, I can bet my Kindle on it. It won Goodreads Choice Award in 2014 for science fiction (and many others probably). Plus, there is a movie The Martian with yummy Matt Damon in the leading role. When the book gets a lot of hype I am always reluctant …

Book Review

The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon

on September 11, 2019September 16, 2019 Leave a Comment on The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon

Amy Harmon is one of those authors that I have heard only good things about. Due to the gigantic TBR list and the lack of organization, I haven’t read any of her books yet. So when I noticed The First Girl Child on NetGalley labeled as ‘Read Now’, I took it as a sign. What …
