Am I the only one who was bored with this book? Every scene was played out not once, not twice but several times. I guess to convey the tediousness, but it got to the point where it was too much. And for such a large book, the ending was abrupt to me. There should have been some kind of point where ...
[I received a copy of this novel through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.]Good ideas in terms of world building, although in general, I found the novel a little confusing.Lots of concepts introduced here, with references to our world: Prytennia is obviously Britain, the Roman Empire and ...
Darest is a country in decline. When it still had Rathens and Rathen Champions, it was powerful, but it's been two hundred years since the death of the last Rathen. It's a shock to everyone when the Rathen Rose reacts to Soren, a nobody in the court, and proclaims her the newest Rathen Champion. Sor...
I really just started reading a lot more fantasy and sci-fi books this year so I'm not an expert on the genres by a long shot. With that said, I thought the alternate world in The Pyramids of London was unique and very creative! I love the idea of the airships, daily wind blasts, automations and ful...

It is extremely hard to classify, it is complex, it is full of a bunch of different trappings from a bunch of different genres, and in the hands of someone who didn't know what they...
I’m not sure I loved this one as much as I’ve loved most of Höst’s books–there was a lot of information and I felt like I wasn’t always super grounded in the world. But it’s the first book in a series, and I am invested enough to want to see where it goes.
Another one I liked quite a bit, although perhaps not quite as strongly as Hunting. The worldbuilding was very interesting, but I occasionally found the magic a bit confusing (on the other hand, I was reading it late at night, so it could easily have been Lack of Brain). However, I really liked the ...
I really loved this one–it’s already one of my favorites by Host. It’s perhaps a bit more predictable, especially if you’ve been reading through all of her backlist as I have, but in a comforting way. It’s a rare girl-pretending-to-be-a-boy story that will grab my attention anymore, but this one did...
