Since being captivated a few months ago by Snyder's dystopian novel, Inside Out, I decided that it might be time to give her fantasy novel, Storm Glass, a chance. And I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised.Readers of Tamora Pierce will quickly discover that they have found a kindred soul...
Poison Study is one of my absolute favorite books of all time, I think I've read it three times now since the first time a couple of years ago. The last two books in that trilogy were disappointing to me, however. I was afraid that this trilogy would let me down as well. I never got too attached to ...
I thoroughly enjoyed this book!Storm Glass is the first book in the Glass trilogy. This is a spin-off of the Study series by Maria V. Snyder and focuses on Opal, the glass magician. She is studying Magic at the Keep with the master magician Zitora, and her powers with glass magic are explored in thi...
While it's the beginning of the Glass series, it's really a spin-off so read her other books first because this will refer to them frequently.I've always wanted to try and learn how to make glass. It was cool that the fantasy part was actually interwoven with something technical.
I picked this up randomly off the new fiction tables in the library because the summary looked interesting. I'll say one thing: I learned a lot about glass-making. The author describes the process in precise detail numerous times, and her descriptions of the glass and storm magic form the best pas...
I really really wanted to like it and it was on an impulse that I bought this. Got about ten pages in and realized that it wasn't going to work for me. The writing was stilted and sentences halting and I just couldn't get involved enough with Opal as it seemed she might have been too young for me to...
I'm honestly not sure why I'm interested in reading the next book, but I am. The plot of this book seems to be Opal complains about being a one trick wonder and not having any friends, then she's kidnapped, she gets free, whines some more about being a one trick wonder with no friends, is nearly kid...
I cannot really rate this any higher since the story was not gripping. As much as I like action and quixotically enjoy seeing my characters in peril, Opal's unrelenting ability to get herself taken captive began to get slightly ridiculous. Also, not a fan of cliff-hanger endings. The romantic elemen...
Opal is not Yelena. This is good, because it gives a different viewpoint - someone who has lived their life with their family in Sitia, and bad, because Opal is not the strongest heroine. She has lots of issues (understandable from her ordeals in the Study series), but she still comes off a bit whin...
