Dark Triumph | Too Much History Not Enough Beast

December 10, 2015

Dark Triumph is Book #2 in the His Fair Assassin Series by Robin LaFevers. I honestly tried to keep out spoilers of the first book, but seeing that I hate spoilers, I’d hate to be the person to spoil book #1 for you. If you haven’t read “Grave Mercy” yet, turn back now, I beg of … More Dark Triumph | Too Much History Not Enough Beast

Six of Crows | Book Review + Free iPhone Wallpapers

The Sleeper and the Spindle | Book Review

October 31, 2015

Despite some small weaknesses in writing style, I found the concept of the story to be very unique. The Queen is strong and fearless. She is an example of determination that we need more of in the fairy tale genre. … More The Sleeper and the Spindle | Book Review

Princess Academy | Book Review

August 7, 2015

Initial Thoughts Miri, the main character, is only fourteen years old. So, naturally, she thinks like a fourteen-year-old!

To top that off, Miri is a pretty mature fourteen-year-old. … More Princess Academy | Book Review

The Blue Sword | Book Review

July 31, 2015

The Night Circus | Book Review

July 24, 2015

Initial Thoughts Whenever I set down a book and it’s not because I have other urgent matters to attend to like, ahem, my family or my job, then undoubtedly I come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the book. It took me about a week to slug through this one. I was frustrated by … More The Night Circus | Book Review

American Gods | Book Review

July 17, 2015

Initial Thoughts What first captivated me about this book were the killer opening paragraphs. I mean what a way to start off a book! At the onset, we get a glimpse of the innermost thoughts of the main character, Shadow. My favorite quote from that beginning is: “The best thing–in Shadow’s opinion, perhaps the only good thing–about being in … More American Gods | Book Review
