3.5 Stars -- Liked it but couldn't relate

I have to admit, I'm getting a little tired of some parts of these books. But then, I've now read, what, fourteen of them? I have to think there would be elements of any series that would get tiresome after that many books. I know I got sick of the Aes Sedai in the Wheel of Time, and of Rand ...

Jacqueline Carey

Warner Books, 2006

A new life, a new chapter

+ Kushiel's Justice lives up to it's Author's reputation
+ A marvelous book...except for the last third

This first in a trilogy of novels follows Prince Imriel de la Courcel, Ysandre's nephew by the exiled criminal Melisande de Shahirizai. It is narrated by Imriel himself rather than Phedre, in a turn that takes a reader of the saga a bit to get used to. Carey pulls it off, however, and manages to ...

Great Sequel

+ An easy and addicting Read
+ A must read series

If you're on the fence about reading Magic Study, you're delight in this sequel will be basically measured upon how much you enjoyed the first book of the series, Poison Study. I loved Yelena and Valek (and the supporting characters) and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. As there are ...

Mesmerizing, Hard to Forget!

+ Another Strong Heroine, Another Enthralling Tale
+ Gorgeous!

I began this book a few days before leaving for a beach vacation. I read it throughout a tropical storm. I read it at the beach and near the pool. I could NOT put it down. Like DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST, this novel captured me, heart & soul. (And I'm not ordinarily a fan of fantasy fiction.) I ...

Child of the Prophecy (The Sevenwaters Trilogy, Book 3)70 reviews

Tor Books, 2003

Perhaps the Best of the Trilogy--certainly the most ambiguous and complex!

+ Gorgeous!
+ Enchanting.

I always find ranking the books in this trilogy hard, as they're all so good--usually it comes between the enchanting fairy-tale-like first book, Daughter of the Forest, and this one however (I like the second one as well, but it just didn't grip me quite as much as the others, and Liadan is my ...

A little too much sex in this book

This is the 12th book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. It is now October, so only a month or so has passed since the conclusion of the last book, Cerulean Sins. Hamilton has received a lot of criticism from some fans for the direction her series takes (the ardeur/sex plotline) and away ...

Short and sweet

I finished this one in an afternoon, a very pleasant afternoon spent curled up in a recliner, reading about sex and love and the undead, with murders being solved and new ones occurring, an averted procreation emergency, and secrets revealed all over the place. It was fun. This was the shortest ...
