4.5 stars — OK, yet again, I am not a fantasy or historical type reader. They kind of intimidate me. And I’m actually not generally that well versed on mythology of any kind. But I’ve enjoyed this author in the past, and an author friend of mine raved about this book, so I had to […]
3.5 stars — A weird blend of kind of hokey and hard to suspend my disbelief, mixed with compelling and engaging. There were times where the pacing fell a little bit, and the book got wrapped up in repetitiveness. The thing is that some of that repetitiveness was about Mya pining for her family and […]
5 stars — I honestly don’t know what it was about this one that just totally captured my imagination. I was just sucked in by Fiona from the first page. Which is funny, b/c I can’t say I connected with her as much in any of the other KITC series books, but in this one […]
DNF @ chapter 10 (2 hours in): This one just wasn’t for me, for a few different reasons. It was seriously overly sweet in my opinion, or at least up until this point…like toothache sweet. There wasn’t a lot of conflict, which apparently I need something to keep me tuning in. And it wasn’t just […]
ON REREAD: 4 stars — I’m finally attempting to finish the Knitting in the City series this year, and have decided to do so through audiobooks. I’d already read this one, but wanted to reread to fit it into context, and also to see how it fares in audio! I found that my opinions were […]
3.5 stars — Oh you guys. Yet again I wrote notes for this review a few weeks ago, and then promptly kept not getting back to it. I need to stop doing that, it just doesn’t work for my brain. So if this review is weird, you’ve been warned. Narrator: OMG, Devra Woodward’s Nico voice […]
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: 4.5 stars — There was so much going on in this one, and I’m still loving being back in this series. This one felt more solid than The Reluctant King, in that the writing and the progression of the romance was much smoother and realistic. Bailey Carr’s narration is still solid for me. […]
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: 4 stars — I remember loving Avalon’s book, and while I still enjoyed it immensely (just like every book in this series), I found that while listening to it, I noticed a lot more repetition, and the plot has a hard time moving forward at times. I feel like Avalon and Amelia have […]
4.5 stars — This book was just funny and delightful from start to finish. It made my heart happy, it had me laughing out loud, it had me crying, it was…exactly what I needed. Zachary Webber’s female voices and kid voices weren’t my fave, but they didn’t offend me like some narrators. I LOVE the […]
3 stars — Yup, that confirms it, I think this author just isn’t for me. I just have a problem connecting with her characters, and I inevitably find little things that bug me and take away from my enjoyment. Before I go further, let’s talk narrators. I thought both Nelson Hobbs and Stephanie Rose did […]
