by Alwyn Hamilton This has the flavor of a mock-Arabic, Arabian Nights sort of story, including mention of genii and other mythological creatures that sound like they should be from that culture, but are actually original mythology invented by the author. The main character, a young person seeking...
One of my resolutions was to be joining in more group reads, and Rebel of the Sands was one of those that I had selected. It is entirely my own fault for not really reading it in group though. It was however nice that it has introduced me to this series. Amani, AKA the Blue-Eyed Bandit, lives near t...
I so very much enjoyed this book a whole freaking much!!!!! I really thought Jin and Amani worked great together, and I thought they were so freaking cute together. I had so much fun going along with them on their journey so far. I loved there time with just one another, as well as when they were wi...
3 stars to cut it short- I think the hype for this book was misleading. There were two 'major' plot twists in this book- the first one I had already figured out BEFORE the first half, and the second one I didn't really see coming, but still for some reason didn't seem very shocking or exhilaratin...

Höchste Zeit also, dass sie ihre trostlose Heimatstadt hinter sich lässt, bevor sie einer Zwangsheirat nicht mehr entgehen kann. Bewaffnet mit einem Revolver und e...
This has to be one of the most striking physical books I've seen in a long time. I put in a wish request on Netgalley when I saw the title pop up. Never heard anything for months. A few days before release date I saw the author tweet a picture of the book in the wild. So off I went to my local Water...
