This week's favorite is a divine urban fantasy. You don't get more urban that a Pittsburg junk yard and you don't get more fantasy than Elves. The multi cultural mythology combine with grand world making and a compelling love story make this a wonderful book that stays on my keep shelf. ------ ...
Tinker, the main character is ridicuously smart, brave, cool and a little clueless. I enjoyed this read very much despite getting lost a couple of times when the gate/parallel universe info dumps got kind of complex but then the action would sweep me up again and all was forgiven. The H, Wolf, doe...
This is the story of Tinker, an 18 year old girl genius, and her cousin Oilcan. This is also the story of Pittsburgh, the city that was transported to Elfhome 20+ years ago when the hyperphase gate was turning on. Every 30 days, Pittsburgh is transported back to Earth for one day only when the Chine...
Okay publishers - read the book or have the author tell the cover artist what the characters look like. Both Windwolf and Pony have long black hair - not short blonde. And Tinker has short brown hair not long hair that can be put in a braid! The cover is beautiful it's just not accurate. The sto...
Ah...ok, in all honesty, when I started this book, I was soo not in the mood for a fantasy. So I put it aside with all intention of returning to it. And now I have. It's v. entertaining. The romance aspect of it is important, but not the main focus, so the fact that our H did the boneheaded thin...
There are SO many good quotes in this one, I just wanted to constantly grab someone and point stuff out. I was ever so slightly hesitant about this book at first, but the story just kept getting better and better and I ended up loving it. Tinker has a lot of stuff going for it. Very cool world-build...
I have to say, when I saw this book listed, I forget where, I thought it might not be all that much, but it was at hand, so I picked it up. Oh. My. God. I could not have been more wrong, or more happy to be so."Tinker", and the follow-up, "Wolf Who Rules" are extraordinary. The concept of science as...
4.5 stars. The cover is not my fave. Good thing I don't judge a book by its cover. Too much. Because I loved the book. Loved. I liked the writing style and liked Tinker. It was a fun throwback to my younger days of predominantly reading high fantasy, while also mixing in modern America and sc...
A bit too much romance for my tastes. Plus, you would think a "genius" like Tinker would have invented some sort of protection devices for herself or something, instead of an alarm system to call overworked police...
