5 Nuts I find myself debating, is this book a 4.5 or a 5 nut rating? Back when I originally read it I probably would have said 4-4.5. Coming off of the wait from HEIR OF FIRE and QUEEN OF SHADOWS, EMPIRE OF STORMS would have seemed like a lot of set up for little […]
Funny how things change. When HOUSE OF EARTH AND BLOOD came out I was so put off by the urban fantasy setting and the sloggy first 100 pages that I gave it up and moved on to something else. Fast forward to a few months ago when the audiobook shows up on an audible deal and […]
Yeah, I have no idea what happened. I guess my leaving the blog for a while meant that I never got around to reviewing the last book in the Throne of Glass series. Weird. So anyway, here’s KINGDOM OF ASH by Sarah J Maas. This is not my favorite book in the series. That distinction […]
+1 I doubt my rating here is a surprise to anyone. A large population of the book world love Maas and her writing, especially when it comes to this particular series. That said, this rating is not based purely on that fact. No this book earned it purely on its own merit and on […]
SO. We’ve all been eagerly awaiting almost ANYTHING from the world of Prythian (and, let’s face it, WE WANT MORE RHYSAND!). So when A COURT OF FROST AND STARLIGHT was announced, all of us ACOTAR fans collectively squealed! But the question is : WAS IT WORTH THE WAIT? First off, there’s the page count. While […]
I have now read through this series twice, and I adore it. All my favorite books are the ones where I discover more and more each time I read them, and this series definitely falls into that category. CHARACTERS The characters keep evolving and building through this series, which I appreciate. Many of the things […]
Ok, WOW. Usually I’m not a fan of books that are more fantasy than urban fantasy — but this book I completely enjoyed. Maybe it’s because I’m on a real Game of Thrones kick, maybe it’s because the book was just totally addictive — but I LOVED this book. The story is a whirlwind […]
4 Nuts Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a bit of a Maas fanatic. Reading the first few books in this series I was a huge Chaol/Celaena shipper, that is until Rowan came along and Chaol fucked up. To be honest I’ve been a little angry at Chaol. His character in Queen of Shadows […]
4.5 Nuts It’s over. How can it be over? I’m not ready, please say it isn’t so. Screw it, I’m reading it again. That’s pretty much how things went when I finished this book. The world was so beautiful, so rich, so wonderful that I wasn’t ready to put it behind me yet. So I […]
5 Nuts May contain spoilers. How does one even describe their favorite book? Ok maybe that’s a little dramatic, but it’s definitely in my top 5. I’ve always been a Maas fan but I never knew how much I could love her writing or her characters until this book. Until Rhysand. Until Cassian and Azriel. […]
