I thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy novella. The worldbuilding was intriguing - it's set in an alternate-history-with-magic world where magic is men's domain and politics is women's - and I'm looking forward to exploring it further in the rest of the book. Our heroine, Cassandra Harwood, is wonderful:...
Anthology. Average rating is 3.52 stars. There were a few I skipped because of violence against children, there were a few stinkers but quite a few good ones so worth the read. 1. Wild ride by Carrie Vaughn. A lonely man finds out he's got a horrible disease and discovers a way to get a cure. Then h...
Masks and Shadows is Stephanie Burgis’s latest book, out this month. She’s a favorite author of mine–I absolutely loved the Kat Stephenson series–and someone I really enjoy on Twitter a well. Masks and Shadows is her first adult novel, and I was very curious to read it and see that switch. Like the ...
2.5 StarsI've been stewing on how to rate this one for a bit now. It was good, and kept me interested. It just never WOWED me. First I felt it was a bit too long, and by 75% I was starting to lose interest. Second, there were a ton of different characters and at times it was hard to keep track of wh...
A lot of fun, and yet much weaker than the second book. At some point, the inability of these characters to talk to each other or believe anything Kat says just broke my suspension of disbelief.
I bought this one for the Carrie Vaughn story "Wild Ride." However, I've already read that one in Kitty's Greatest Hits. Oops. I was able to get into a few others and they were really good!Blended (CE Murphy)Oh how sweet the vengeance! This one was good. Marketa was a pup when her pack was hunted, s...
Charming regency magic story. Kat is getting older, her second sister is getting married despite objections from the prospective groom's mother who is determined that he shall marry his cousin. Kat is being stalked by magic and is trying to find a way to be a dutiful daughter and keep her magic p...
I could have sworn I had already written a review for this, but apparently I didn't. This is brilliant fun with a layer of terror I'm not sure younger readers will get. There's action and adventure as Kat learns new magic powers and her sister enacts the worst plot ever. And at the same time, t...
I've been reading a lot of middle grade stuff, hunting books for my niece, and 12 year old protagonists are the best. Charming. Just charming. I liked everything about this book and can't wait to read the rest of this trilogy.
Oh, Kat Stephenson! To say this girl is incorrigible is spot on and, quite honestly, the reason I fell in love with her character the first time around. She's back in a big way in Renegade Magic. Kat's sister is finally marrying the man she loves and Kat herself finally has a slight hold over her po...
