4 stars — I was worried about this one, because I had kind of expected Daisy to have changed a lot given her burns at the end of that last book. But she really hadn’t. We got a look inside her head, and initially I was pretty disappointed. And even O’jek was a bit…brusque. Which […]
4 stars — This was a solid prequel novella! I will admit that I was pretty confused about the timeline and how it meshed with what I learned from Perry in book 1, but oh well. Roar was pretty easy to love. Sure he was headstrong, and didn’t always think before he acted. But you […]
3.5 stars — As is becoming a trend in my reviews lately, I honestly can’t figure out if I’m being nitpicky about the books I’m reading because there are actual things to nitpick, or if my mood/health has affected my reading enjoyment. I listened to this one, and the narrator was okay. Not like blow […]
4.5 stars — This was a seriously solid series ender! While there are a few things that I ponder over, in general it wrapped things up really well, answering questions and setting everything into a good position where I can imagine this world continuing on. Saira really felt like she came into her own throughout […]
4 stars — The realities of WWII as presented through Saira’s eyes was just…HARD. Like so many people, I’m morbidly fascinated by that war, but I purposely avoid it because it’s just really hard to take. And it was hard here. We got to see amazing people, and horrific monsters, and also all the in between […]
4.5 stars — This was exactly what I was looking for and needing with the mood I was in. I know the author said the book turned out longer than she expected, but I honestly didn’t notice at all…and if you’ve been reading my reviews lately, you know that’s something that doesn’t work for me, […]
2.5 stars — Well…that was probably how I was expecting to feel after reading the reviews. Just because I know I get bothered by the same things as were mentioned in many negative reviews. I definitely enjoyed Pestilence, I was middling on War (even though it ended great apparently, though now I don’t honestly remember), […]
4 stars — This series just keeps getting better and better as we get to know the characters and the world more! I think I even had a brilliant theory appear at the end there and I can’t wait to find out if my theory is correct! There were definitely elements that were heartbreaking and […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I stayed up pretty late into the night finishing this one, because I just really wanted to know what was going to happen. I think if I was a history buff, I would enjoy these books even more. As it is, I really haven’t retained much about British […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would give another series by Ms. Dixon a try, and while this definitely went better than my foray into fireblood dragons, it still didn’t quite hit the mark like the IPB series and spinoffs for me. At least this one had better pacing and tempo. The narrators were solid, […]
