This book has gotten a ridiculous amount of hype. It took me a month to read it. Does that mean, I didn’t like it? No. Because last month was really messed up. It probably didn’t help the book though that it’s style was fairly akin to a Kathleen Woodiwiss novel. Meaning, it took a long time...

One day, Ms. Novik decided to write out the world’s best fantasy standalone known to man (by man, I mean me . . . I’m not a man, though) and she effing blew my brains out with so much awesomeness. I listened to this book as an audiobook through OverDrive, and am I damn glad that I did. Are you guy...

This book was immensely satisfying for me. It left me reluctant to move on and dive into the next book, just not quite ready to leave this world behind so quickly. Many people have probably picked up this book because they enjoy the Temeraire series. That's certainly why I got it. Be aware th...

I did not expect this book to be this damn good.Yay!It was really detailed and completely engrossing. I loved it. The heroine was incredibly grounded, normal type of person, blundering trough life in a way most of us blunder trough ours, to be honest. I loved her because of that. All of her choices ...

I had me hooked from the very first chapter, and although there were stumbling blocks, it had me enthralled until the last page! I really loved the story, and there was so much ...

This book had me a bit stumped: It was pretty "dark" for a YA book? The themes of evil vs. good were pretty brutal, and the representations of human suffering is what made me think this book was quite a bit different from the regular YA offerings. I loved it so much, that I am now going to read al...

Spoiler Rating: Low Hey Lizzy, In elementary school you said You need some dragons in your life, and I sort of shuffled my feet and said Sure, maybe, and then I read the book you kept going on about, and suddenly nothing came out of my mouth anymore but dragons. We spent the next two-and-a-bit...

This was one of those books where after reading it, you give a great big sigh of satisfaction, enjoyment, and longing. Wonderful story, satisfying ending, wish there was more.
