Christmas book #5, a new trilogy and a success! I had read the Broken Empire Trilogy by Mark Lawrence a couple of years ago and disliked it intensely. I found it very, very dark with no hope offered anywhere and a plethora of unlikable characters, so having Red Sisteron my list was a chance I took...
Just got this book and I’m starting to think I'm reading a different book than all the reviewers. Seems like Z writing at best to me. Nona is an interesting character at times and a terrible anime like character in others. There is a horrible amount of repetition in the book in terms of X shows up, ...
I don’t know if words are sufficient to express how much I love this book. It’s just wonderful and I don’t know what to say. Before I get on to the actual review, I just want to say that I’m Catholic, going to a Catholic college and at first I was worried that I wouldn’t like this book because it mi...
I liked the book more at the beginning, the middle was boring to me, and then it got more exciting at the end.

For Sister Thorn of t...

Want to hear an opening that will pique your curiosity and grab you by your giggly bits? "IT IS IMPORTANT, when killing a nun, to ensure that you bring an army of sufficient size." Want to hear more? "NO child truly believes they will be hanged. Even on the gallows platform with the rope scratchin...
Our heroine is basically a magical Laura Kinney that's a nun. What's not to love? Full review here:http://www.honkifyoulovejustice.com/2017/04/17/book-review-red-sister-by-mark-lawrence
3.75 starsI have been looking forward to reading Red Sister for almost a year. I have only read one other book by Mark Lawrence, Prince of Thorns, and while I really, really enjoyed it, I just haven’t had time to read the remainder of that trilogy. Red Sister didn’t work as well for me, and it has...
