This isn't my usual YA, but I did enter Goodreads First Reads competition to win it, and I did really want to read it. Oh my god, I took FOREVER to read this book but I swear it's not a reflection on the book's quality, believe me! I had a really good time when I was reading this book, I've just had...
Hmm....what to say... what to say... I was attracted to this book by the fact that it was fashioned as an epic fantasy/romance hybrid and that the heroine was a trained assassin. But when I finished the book I don't think Vitalia, the heroine, will go up there as one of the most effective assassins ...
Soon, the moment would come, the moment she’d spent eleven years preparing for. Could she seduce and kill Emperor Lucien? The answer is a resounding NO. I DNFed this book at 25% because, really, there is no fucking point. She wasn't going to kill the motherfucker anyway. It's not only terrible, it b...
Assassin's Gambit was a pleasant surprise. I stumbled on a review somewhere that didn't really like it. I find two and three star reviews on Goodreads the most useful because when people give me a critical analysis of what didn't work for them, I can decide if it would work for me. Well, I saw it...

She's been trained for years to kill the Emperor and it is inconceivable that she's falling for him!Lucien is in a very difficult position: in an Empire where phisical strenght is...
I really enjoyed this read. I went through it very fast because I couldn't put it down. Being the first novel that Amy Raby has put out, I know her books are only going to get better from here. I am impatiently awaiting October when the sequel is released:)
I can only say that I've been very lucky with my fantasy books lately. Not only Assassin's Gambit is exceptionally well written, it's unapologetic about the matters of sex, emotional trauma, and has one of the best no-nonsense, sensible approaches to relationships I've seen in a long time. Also, of ...
As the rating indicates, I really enjoyed this debut paranormal/fantasy. The faux Roman setting was different than the usual medieval trappings, the heroine was intelligent, resourceful and not TSTL, and the hero was cunning and brave without being larger-than-life. In fact, as an amputee many sell ...
An exciting debut by Amy Raby. I really love the characters, the plot (even the last part to ending feel rushed), the politic, the world building and mostly, I want to know more about Caturanga!
