Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

4 stars — Well that left me a whole mess of confused and conflicted and overwrought. I started off listening to the audiobook with this one.  And honestly, Ms. Fortgang was solid.  She had clear voices, good pacing, emotions.  But…I kept finding my mind wandering.  And after awhile I figured it just wasn’t working for […]

Barbarian’s Hope by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Hope by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — This book was more emotional than I was expecting…which, it really shouldn’t have surprised me given Asha and Hemalo’s history, but still…I definitely cried for them. Asha was an interesting character that I wasn’t expecting to like, b/c, well, she’s kind of a bitch.  And I mean that outside of how she […]

5 stars — This book delighted me from start to finish.  Like, I can’t even tell you how much, it was just perfection for me. I always knew I was going to be fascinated by Pandora, but there was even more to her than I had been expecting.  It’s strange how learning about one physical […]

4.5 stars — This one surprised me!  While I could tell from the blurb that there wasn’t any cheating, I still wasn’t sure exactly what that meant and how it would reflect on our characters.  It was definitely complicated, but I was okay with it, so phew! I seriously fell in love with Sebastien.  I […]

4 stars — Ellie!!!  I totally forgot that this was an Ellie I already knew, so bonus fun for anyone who is a fan of the True North series.  (but you don’t miss out on anything if you haven’t read about her already) I did not expect to love Patrick as much as I did!  […]

3 stars — I was really looking forward to Paxton’s story from the glimpses of him I’d had in other books, but I had a hard time connecting with him and Naomi. I think part of the problem is that the writing style didn’t work as well for me.  I think I’ve tried other books […]
