I wasn't sure when I requested this on Netgalley that I would like this as it didn't seem like what I normally read but in the end I really enjoyed it. This mostly follows Sancia who makes money for stealing things. She ends up being hired to steal something that is very valuable that will lead her ...

"Time renders all people and all things silent. And gods, it seems, are no exception." Wellllll, I hate to be the odd duckling here BUT I just didn't love this as much as everyone else did. Now that's not to say that I didn't enjoy it. I just didn't fall hopelessly, googly- heart eyed in love with...

STOP right here! If you haven’t read the first two books in Robert Jackson Bennett’s The Divine Cities series yet, add them to the top of your list! You don’t know what you’re missing! City of Miracles just won’t read the same without having read the City of Stairs and City of Blades. Shara Kom...

Obwohl „City of Stairs“, der Auftakt der Trilogie „The Divine Cities“, ein bemerkenswerter Erfolg für den Autor Robert Jackson Bennett war, hatte er ursprünglich nicht vor, diese grandiose Geschichte fortzuführen. Er scheute sich davor, herauszufinden, was in seinem hochkomplexen Universum als nächs...

This is the final book to what has been a great trilogy. The world building is some of the best I have ever read, but the characters are what make this series truly amazing. Each book takes us a few years further into the future than the previous, and stars a different protagonist. In this the aut...

With City of Miracles one, if not the best, fantasy series of the last couple of years comes to an end. I cannot start to express just how much I loved reading them. The world is so complex, as are the characters, and these series is so emancipated that I really couldn't tell if they male of female ...
