Still loving the story of someone who can use books and ideas as weapons, this one has a slightly different twist and it's interesting.Looking forward to more.
As much as I liked Libriomancer and loved its world, Codex Born and I didn't get a good start. The reason is in the multiple first person voices. What I expect from a second book in a series is to learn more about the characters and their relationships interspaced the book specific plot, but I also ...
All I can think of is the Goblin King in Labyrinth: “Such a pity.” Creative ideas, a streamlined plot, a love of books–all are fabulous ideas, and all undermined by cumbersome execution. I really want to like this series–I like Jim Hines‘ public persona, I really do, particularly his willingness to ...
I'm really enjoying this series; it's just so much fun. The magic and rules of libriomancy are the stuff of a book geek's dream. The ability to pull things out of books and use them, there are plenty of swords, ray guns and other weapons but some of it is a lot more subtle. Jeneta's ability with ...
Another fun filled installment in Magic ex libris series. I love the concept of a libriomancer- someone who can bring forth objects from a book. The pacing is well done here as well as the slow methodical dishing out of the backstory. Hines gives you just enough to question what you already know and...
Codex Born by Jim C. Hines is the second in the Magic Ex Libris series and continues the fun times of book magic and fire spiders :D. I was so excited to receive a review copy in the mail since this is definitely one of my favorite fantasy series. I was even lucky enough to go to a signing on releas...
Codex Born is the sequel to Libriomancer, which caught my notice first because of how the magic was envisioned. I really hope no one is surprised that I am a book nerd by now. So on first glance Codex Born is a very enjoyable fluffy fantasy novel. Do not be deceived. Yes, there are magicians fig...
Story. Belief. It’s power isn’t it? All belief is, you get people to believe you can get them to do just about anything, history teaches us this. And it is this idea that Jim C. Hines uses in this book. The Libromancers in this book have the power, the magical power, of drawing things from th...
Isaac, Lena and Nidhi are developing their new relationship – but hardly have the chance to do so on peace before being called into the field again.There’s been some murdered Wendigo – and Wendigo are pretty hard to kill.But throw in some strange, lethal metal insects, creations of a dead Libriomanc...
