First, a note: if you know me at all, you know that putting the word “Ravens” on anything is going to get my attention. Ravens are beautiful, intelligent, and they remind me of Edgar Allan Poe. I’m going to the Pickerington Public Library Young Adult Book Festival in October, and I realized that I hadn’t […]
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 […]
4.5 Nuts This is going to be a strange review. I have read/listened to several versions of this book at this point. Therefore I will comment on them in order. First the original version as originally released, then the updated parts, and finally the narrated version by actor Eddie Redmayne. Cool? Good. I got my […]
5 Nuts Damnit, Schwab, you’re killing me. Take book one, now add in some more pirating, an extra dash of the Triwizard Tournament, and a sword-to-the-gut ending. Yep, that’s this second book in a nutshell. Where Delilah Bard was my favorite character in book one that place is easily usurped by Alucard in book 2. […]
I have been hearing Erin go on about Sarah J. Maas’s writing for quite a while now, and I finally decided to listen and pick up this book. I was excited not only because of the hype, but also because it’s a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, which is one of my very favorite […]

3.5 Nut I have a really mixed history with Kiera Cass’s books. Some I loved, like The Siren or The Heir. Others I thought were just ok like The Selection and even The One to some extent. Or in the case of The Elite and parts of he One there are some that I just […]
4 Nuts After resisting reading these books for over a decade I have finally caved and taken the plunge. My mom has been a Mercedes Lackey fan for something like 25 or 30 years and she’s been trying to get me to read them ever since I started devouring books. So why didn’t I? Mostly […]
So here’s the thing: I really do like this book. BUT, and yeah that’s a big BUT, this one took a weird turn. But let’s start at the beginning. Queen Kelsea is dealing with the backlash of all her decisions in Queen of the Tearling. And I’m sure that kind of thing would change a […]
