4.5 stars — I was daunted by this book…I don’t know why, I so wanted to read it. But I just kept putting it off. Thank god for buddy reading, it was just the push I needed to get started. I did try the audio first, b/c I wanted to know how to pronounce things…but […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that took me through all of the emotions. I had all these desires for the first half of the book, and then things started shifting and I started shifting with it…and feeling conflicted. And so confused. Needless to say because of all that, this is going to be a vague and […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — That…was not at all what I was expecting. In an even better sense. I was genuinely expecting a “beach read”, something fairly light and fluffy. And while this book had light and fluffy moments, with banter that truly delighted me beyond belief, there was a HUGE emotional aspect that left me with […]
4 stars — Every time I read a book by this author, I’m always taken to a world completely unlike anything I was expecting…and not only that, but unlike anything I usually read. I tagged this as pirates, but pirates are never referred to in the book. But it was the closest thing I could describe […]
3.5 stars — Well, that was a big bag of mixed. I wonder if this author might inevitably just not be for me. This book reminded me a lot of Helena Hunting’s Pucked. It’s so popular and everyone loves it, but the over the topness is just a bit too over the top for this […]
4.5 stars — Sarah Mayberry writes the kind of banter between characters that I live for. I can’t tell you the number of times I laughed out loud. And it’s not just everyday banter, she writes these fun steamy scenes that make my tummy flutter at the same time I’m giggling. I always feel like that […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — great followup to the first book. Again, lots of great action, an intriguing and unique built world, hilarious banter between characters, a flawed protagonist that has been thrust into the craziness again….oh yeah, and Rune. *sigh* Hmmmm, how am I going to do this review without giving anything away? Impossible. […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — OK, that was a fun ride. Seriously, so much more than I was expecting. First, I LOVED Katelyn’s voice….she could be just absolutely HILARIOUS. She is such a strong, spirited girl, but with a fabulous self-deprecating and witty sense of humour. I actually really enjoyed her friends in Rivermarch too, […]
4.5 stars — I mean…I knew it was going to be bad (the inevitable cliffhanger)…but wow. Just. Why did I read this right now? Why didn’t I wait?? *wailing noises* OK, it’s not *that* bad. I have some theories. But still. WRITE FASTER!!!!! So, uh, yeah. I really enjoyed it. I read the first book, […]
