I really struggled with this book. I wanted to like it, we didn’t get along. I spent the first half of the book disliking the main character. Then the war came and I was just disappointed. I never connected with Rin but I did like Kitay and Jiang. Rin did have some character growth but not enough to make me
This book was published before Mistborn. This would be the 4th Brandon Sanderson book I’ve read if we don’t count the novella of The Emperor’s Soul. I still like the Mistborn trilogy more but the characters of this book grew on me. I ended up cheering for them loud enough that I’m glad I wasn’t in library reading it! This

We’ve come to the 5th and final book in this series Blood Debt! However this book is more of a transition book passing the torch to the next series where Tony gets to shine. It’s like a backdoor pilot episode tucked into your favourite TV show, the same way NCIS started in JAG and Wayward Sisters would have started in

Well after the horror of third book Blood Lines, I was more than happy to move onto the 4th book Blood Pact. The books started with demons, went to werewolves, then mummies so it should be no surprise that in this book our heroes could come up against zombies. Well.. it’s not exactly zombies.. it’s more like a mix of

I’ve finally made it to book 3 of the series. While Vicki has dealt with slowly going blind, vampires, werewolves and demons… now she gets to face off with a mummy! I think fans of the movie The Mummy will take a shine to this book. Then again maybe not since that was more of a love story in monster

It only makes sense in fantasy world that if there are vampires, then there must also be werewolves. In fact the only series that I can think of that didn’t include both is Teen Wolf. That said the lore on werewolves here is definitely interesting considering most media insists on the whole bite/scratch thing. The werewolves in this universe are

I bought this ages ago on my Kobo and there used to be a Kindle edition as well.. sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. This series is great which is to be expected from Tanya Huff as she is one of my favourite Canadian authors. However the TV adaptation of her books called “Blood Ties” lacked her

The Hero of Ages is the third book in the Mistborn Trilogy. Although I know there is another trilogy after it, a sequel series. I loved that we got to see things from TenSoon’s point of view and learn more about the Kandra. In each book of the Mistborn Trilogy we got a complete story. In the first book we

The Well of Ascension is the second book of the Mistborn Trilogy and takes place 1 year after the ending of the first book. It turns out that this book was originally where Brandon wanted to start, luckily for everyone he wrote Mistborn instead. The reason I say this is because it gave the reader more of a chance to

I just finished reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson and I absolutely loved it. It’s not very often where I find a book or any media where I love the whole cast but Sanderson did it. I’m clearly going right to the second book after finishing this little review of mine because I MUST know what happens next. Brandon was right

Well it started as a game, then it got an anime adaptation.. and now we have books and manga. This is the novel version. The novel follows the prologue and book 1 of the Twisted Wonderland game. If you’ve watched the animation, then this novel covers that too. I love the spin on classic fairy tales and in some ways

I see this book recommended a lot in Fantasy spaces. Malazan seems to be a bit polarizing, you either love it or hate it. Although I did see some posts saying it was confusing as well. I wasn’t confused by it, but I couldn’t get attached to any of the characters either. It’s an interesting tale but it just isn’t

I’ll make a confession, I haven’t read any Brandon Sanderson books before this. I picked this little novella as my taster because Brandon said on his website that it was short and would give the reader a feel for his work. I loved this little book. It was short but it didn’t feel short, it felt complete in ways many

I had a good chuckle at the beginning when the prologue warned readers that the author wouldn’t make things pretty. Now a quick explanation on the difference between Young Adult (YA) and New Adult content by Elisabeth Wheatley is in order because I don’t consider this YA at all. Most people don’t and yet Goodreads had it tagged as YA.

I really liked this one a lot. It felt like a fairy tale in all the best possible ways. I know many people might think of the Little Mermaid and the thought did briefly cross my mind. However this book also brought to mind The Ill Made Mute or at least my vague memory of it. I can also see

My first thoughts were of the movie The Lake House when I read about the pendant. I wasn’t very far into the book at the time but it’s a thought that decided to chime in.

I just finished reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan. It’s a good book, the beginning gives me a bit of Cinderella vibes.
