Pantomime was an interesting book to read. The setting and main character were really original, something I hadn't encountered in a book before (a book I've read, at least). The audacity to use an androgynous/transgendered main character in this manner created a lot of drama and actually tugged at y...

It took me a little while to get my thoughts together on this. Not because I didn't like it. On the contrary, I liked it a lot and am looking forward to the next one. I'm trying not to be spoilery, but there is no way to talk about one of the most important aspects of the book with revealing some se...

As usual, I’m mystified at Strange Chemistry choice with its blurb, so I’ll be straight with you – the Very Big Secret hinted at didn’t seem like a huge secret to me. In fact, it was obvious to me from the very first view-point switch between Micah and Gene. I have thought long and hard about this, ...

I wanted to be a part of the...

It is really difficult to know where to start with this review, I'm going to have to be incredibly careful about what I tell you because there is no way I want to spoil the shocking twist in Pantomime. Honestly, this has to be one of the most unusual YA books I've ever read and it is an incredible d...

No matter how hard I try I just can't seem to get into the story even though theoretically I should be swooning over it. :/

The world of Ellada sits poised between two eras, remembering the magic and wonder of the past while groping its way into a modern future. Just as its citizens don't how much of its past myths are true, so too is the reader left wondering and dreaming. That uncertainty is the perfect backdrop for Mi...

What is so fascinating about the circus? I think it dates back to childhood days where we are so impressionable that the pomp, the animals, and weird & wonderful truly grabbed our hearts and souls. It’s also a very special treat which makes it utterly precious as memories. My love for circus in l...
