I like Rachel Aaron a lot. Her DFZ series are all very good. I haven't written a review on one of the series, but I did read it. Oh "darn," I guess I need to go read it again so I can give it the review it deserves. So the latest in the series is… Continue reading Review: DFZ Changeling Series

Review: Bitter Medicine
Bitter Medicine by Mia Tsai was a fun read. I must be on an "urban fantasy" kick because it's a theme. This book was very much focused on the romance, but the other plots through the book kept me intrigued. One of the things I really, truly appreciated was there wasn't a time the secondary… Continue reading Review: Bitter Medicine
Review: The DFZ Trilogy
I love Rachel Aaron. I've read several of her series now (Eli Monpress, Heartstrikers, and now DFZ). Of the three, Heartstrikers is probably my favorite. But I just read DFZ, so it's the one I am going to review here. I'm a little embarrassed - if I reviewed either of the others, I couldn't find the post(s). Anywho, let's… Continue reading Review: The DFZ Trilogy
Review: The Perfect Run
I found this on the front page of Royal Road and enjoyed it so much I went and bought it on Amazon - I'm a big fan of supporting authors. It has flaws, and I would definitely not recommend this for everyone, but I found it like book-candy. Not award winning, but yummy and bad… Continue reading Review: The Perfect Run
Review: Animist
I like Eve Forward. This is actually the first of her work I'd ever read. I recently re-read it. It might not hold up as well as something like Villains by Necessity, but I enjoyed it. Again. I think I read this when I was about 13 the first time and it was one of… Continue reading Review: Animist
Review: An Enchantment of Ravens
One of the hardest things about reading a lot of books is you begin to see patterns. Romance novels and fantasy both have some pretty standard beats, and this book is a little of both. It follows the patterns. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing! Authors like to use these pieces because it works.… Continue reading Review: An Enchantment of Ravens
Review: Starter Villain
I can't tell you the last time I read a book that was just out. Scalzi deserves it. Helps my husband bought it for our family library AND made sure I had time to read it on my birthday. It isn't a long book. Scalzi had talked/written about writing "popcorn fiction." Stuff that's fun for… Continue reading Review: Starter Villain
Review: Alas, Babylon
I read this book in high school for AP English. It was one of those books that stood out as good despite the topic. So, this year I decided to read it again. If you haven't read it, you should. Especially with everything happening in Ukraine right now, the looming fear of nuclear war (I… Continue reading Review: Alas, Babylon
Review: Vainqueur the Dragon
My brother introduced me to one of the best/worst sites I have ever encountered. Royal Road is a site for people to post their fiction for others to read, rate, review, etc. I now have an official love/hate relationship because I am reading about 5 "ongoing" works and I want it all right now. But… Continue reading Review: Vainqueur the Dragon
Review: Iron Widow
I meant to review this awhile ago, but life got in the way. This has been sitting in my Drafts folder for too long. I really wish I could read this book a second time before I review it. There is a lot to chew on and I hope on a second reading I'll catch… Continue reading Review: Iron Widow
