This book starts with Kitty Steals the Show, the Kitty Norville book published in 2012. Stay with me. Vaughn was doing a signing in a small town in Alabama a few hours drive from here. A friend, who is also a huge fan, had just returned home from her father's funeral and needed . . . something. So w...

Different in tone from her Kitty books. This takes place in the future. The world is very unsettled, Russia is bombed, Seattle too. Average citizens have to go through checkpoints, carry ration books for staples, report all strangers, and know where their gas mask is. The story goes back and forth b...

3.5 This urban fantasy was one of the most original story lines I've read. It had a touch of fantasy, adventure, mystery, and myths and they come alive. It was interesting the people of myth and history that the author chose to write into this book. It is a tale of time, and the effects of magic and...

Audiobook. Narrator did a really good job but the book itself, I didn't really care for. I have read so many "true" origins of the mythological gods and goddesses that I get bored as soon as you say Zeus or whoever. I'll stick with what Sherrilyn Kenyon says and everything else I'll just let my m...

After her mother's murder, Evie Walker left her small hometown and began writing comics. Her stories about a US military ops team are very popular, particularly since they feed into the culture of paranoia and armament that the US has become in the wake of repeated terrorist attacks. But when her ...

I like Vaughn's "Kitty" books, but after reading Discord's Apple and After the Golden Age she's moved up to my "autobuy" list. Her exploration of themes of mythology, ancient and modern, brings a fresh look to cultural tropes and folklore.

3/5; 3 stars; BAfter a rough beginning, I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The first few chapters were a little difficult to follow but then the story took me in and the varying points of view made sense. I normally don't really enjoy books with gods and mythology but Carrie Vaughn did a p...

Good idea, but it just doesn't work.I like Carrie Vaughn, but I don't like this book. At times, this book is trying to weave together too many plot threads - immortals, gods, Arthur, Troy, end-of-the-world, comic books, and a secret room. It's just too much and nothing really seems to gel. The ch...

I am a huge fan of Ms. Vaughn's Kitty Norville series. I knew, however, that Discord's Apple was going to be nothing like her Kitty series, and that's important to know before diving in. Knowing that didn't stop me from being confused at the beginning though...I eventually did find my groove and enj...
