3.5 Nuts Will contain spoilers… After a long wait I finally went ahead and finished Mercedes Lackey’s HUNTER trilogy. I want to talk about the series as a whole for a second because what Mercedes does her with the series is pretty unique. This series blends post apocalyptic settings with fabulously worked magic. If fact […]
5 Nuts We’ve meet Jason and gone with him to Camp HalfBlood. We’ve sent time with Percy and discovered the wonders of the Roman Camp Jupiter. Now the two groups of campers come together and it’s just a little bit of a disaster. This book is when Riordan brings the heroes together to heap a […]
Let me first say I am a huge fan of dystopian reads and am quite critical of every one that passes my way. But I really loved this book despite the fact I thought it was going to be like every other virus/quarantine novel I’d read. What really helped me enjoy it was the way […]
4.5 Nuts When I was sent this book from the lovely people at Disney I was told that it was a special book that the publicist was very excited about. So of course I have no self control and had to read it immediately instead of reading the books I had in my TBR for […]
4.5 Nuts WARNING! SPOILERS FOR BOOK ONE If I thought I loved Mercedes Lackey before I had no idea that her first real foray into mainstream YA would capture my imagination like it has. Had some of her Valdemar books been written today they would probably be considered YA so I wasn’t entirely surprised that […]
4 Nuts It’s been a while since I actually read this book to bare with me for a minute. This is one of those books which after I read it I had to let it sit for a minute to let the thoughts coalesce into something coherent. And then I kind of forgot, well shoot […]
4.5 Nuts Mercedes Lackey is a force to be reckoned will when it comes to sheer numbers of published works. With over 100 novels under her belt, she’s not what anyone would call a newbie. Though some of her earlier books might have been consider YA had they been written today (particularly The Last Herald […]
It is the strangest thing to read a graphic novel version of a long beloved book. You have your own internal vision of how each character should look, their voice, the way they hold themselves. Then suddenly you have pictures of them before you and they look nothing like the ones in your head. It’s […]
3 Nuts “Game of Thrones meets Six of Crows” is the tagline for this particular book. High praise, and sadly an expectation that it cannot meet. The thing I love most about both of those books is how unpredictable they are. They keep you guessing the whole time, killing characters and making you love/hate others. […]
i sat and read this book entirely in one sitting. it was completely engrossing — mostly because it freaked me out and i needed to know what happened next. i also was super excited about this book because well, my last name is Cresswell, and you don’t see many books with your last name in […]
