The Water Outlaws review

This book is interesting because the characters, by and large, don't turn out to be who you think they're going to be.

Mammoths at the Gates review

Another fantastic chronicle from the Singing Hills Cycle! I'm so hoping that the series expands beyond the 5 books that are currently planned because I love exploring Chih and Almost Brilliant's world!

He Who Drowned the World review

I'm always a little wary when I go into sequels of books that were really, really fantastic, but this one 100% lived up to expectations.

Zhara review

While there are two POVs in this book, it's really Zhara's story. She undergoes a lot of development throughout this book and comes out stronger, and more herself, on the other side. At the same time, Han does play a major role in the story and has some of his own growth, it's just at a milder scale than Zhara.

Foul Lady Fortune review

I'll be honest, I was a little wary going into this book despite how much I loved the TVD duology because I wasn't really a fan of Rosalind the first time around and much preferred Celia. However, I am absolutely blown away by this book

Into the Riverlands review

Empress is still my favorite of the bunch so far, but Into the Riverlands is definitely my next favorite. I really enjoyed seeing a slightly bigger cast than the other two novellas, and I also liked that we had so many additional voices to add to the stories Chih and Almost Brilliant are collecting.

Heart of the Sun Warrior review

Once again I was completely swept away by Tan's writing and was wholly immersed in the book from start to finish. I will 100% be reading her future books (and I'm very curious to see who the companion novel is going to be about since there's a number of contenders).

The Genesis of Misery review

I found this book to be really intriguing in a multitude of ways. For one, the stone bending and holystone stuff is interesting to me and I liked puzzling out holystone vs normal/dead stone, and I kind of like that the distinction is left to the reader to figure out.

An Arrow to the Moon review

I don't really read contemporary...anything anymore, but since I got this as part of May's Fairyloot I figured I'd give it a shot. It does have a lot of the stuff that you would expect from a contemporary (fantasy) novel, like the characters going to school and dealing with college stuff and their parents, etc., and there's less emphasis on the magic for a lot of the book.

The Spear Cuts Through Water review

This story gets off to somewhat of a slow start, but once it picks up it really picks up. The beginning orients you to the setting and the background of 'you,' the person who has been brought to the Inverted Theater to hear this story. Once the story within the story begins, that's when the adventures and magic begin.
