Speculative Fiction Reviews for my Ever Increasing SFF TBR Pile
I’ve read a good number of really positive reviews for both this and Harrison Squared and since We Are All Completely Fine sounded a bit darker, I decided to try it first. It is dark, and it is also quite different from anything I’ve read (at least in quite a while). The story focuses on a support group where the...
Naomi Novik’s Uprooted tells a beautifully unique fairytale complete with magic, love and of course, evil. Agnieszka lives in a valley which lies on the edge of the Wood. The Wood is not a friendly forest, but rather a malevolent place that seeps past its borders to spread its evil. Their valley is protected by their lord, Dragon, who lives...
This really turned out to not be a book for me. I found some things that irked me, very little amused me and nothing really informed me. I’m still a little unsure who the correct demographic for it is as it is quite basic in all the details (be sure to take water to that con!), so current “geek girls”...
I just love this series. It is filled with action and intrigue as well as amazing, real characters and relationships. Oh, and humor! The conclusion to the series was every bit as fun and addictive as the rest the first two books. In short, this is a highly addictive, unputdownable, laugh out loud action packed series with memorable and enjoyable characters. The Tan...
Deadly Spells regains what I felt was a bit lost in Cursed Moon. This is a stronger and more enjoyable book and I never felt the pace slow down or my interest waiver. There is a murder in the beginning of the book (this is hardly surprising, I mean Kate is a detective). But this turns out to be a...
It’s been years since I read the Poison Study trilogy and I honestly did not expect another book in the series. I have not read the other books in the Ixia series and so am not sure how that may or may not impact this one. Since this is considered a Poison Study book, I would assume that skipping the...
I’m going to come right out and say, this is not quite how I would typically write a review. My reviews are usually filled with my reaction to the book, but this one has more reaction and less detail than normal. So, you’ve been forewarned. When I started this book I was quite taken and was expecting a very quick...
Reading Flex is like ingesting a solid dose of some seriously bad-ass magic. The world comes to life, possibilities that you hadn’t thought of suddenly present themselves, you find yourself immersed in words that portray a familiar, but yet much more magical world. Flex is in some ways, reminiscent of Breaking Bad with a Ready Player One slant but with an added twist all...
What can I say? Abercrombie continues to know how to draw me in to a story. Half the World was absolutely no exception, and it has the added bonus of having a completely kick-ass female POV. When I ended Half a King, I had thought the next book would continue to center on Yarvi. While he is a critical character...
Bloodydamn! This is one hell of a second book, it’s just as dark and deadly and addictive as Red Rising. This is turning out to be a hard review to write because I can’t stop thinking about the ending. I wouldn’t say it eclipses the rest of the book since the rest of it is what brought about the ending,...
