Search for Senna (Everworld, 1) 147 reviews K.A. Applegate
Scholastic Paperbacks, 1999
What a wonderful book
+ Imaginative beginning
I just finished the first book in the Everworld series and I loved it! I cannot wait to read the next one. It's about 4 teens who get sucked into this other world called Everworld. There they are looking for another friend that was pulled in right before them. While they are looking for her they ...

To Weave a Web of Magic 17 reviews Claire Delacroix, Lynn Kurland, ...
Berkley Trade, 2004
Kurland's story's the best in the book
Kurland's story in this book read just like a fairy tale and quite romantic. I like the fact that Kurland doesn't use sex to sell her books like most other paranormal romance authors out there. Her story always has fairy tale/dreamy romance quality to it.

Spindle's End (Firebird) 143 reviews Robin McKinley
Puffin, 2002
A beautiful and believable world
+ A truly enjoyable read + Great Book
I've just finished reading Spindle's End after guiltily eying it on my shelf for about a year. What put me off reading it at first were some reviews that complained that the novel was rather long-winded. Yes, it is, and I sometimes had to re-read certain sections to hold on to the thread of the ...

Ombria in Shadow 27 reviews Patricia A. McKillip
Ace Trade, 2003
poetic romp
+ good read
Ombria in Shadow is a great book. Patricia McKillip's true conquest is one of language. It took me two chapters to really find a groove with the reading, but once I did, the book wasn't long enough. I kept wanting the chapters to be longer, I kept wanting to spend more time with the characters. For ...

The Tower at Stony Wood 37 reviews Patricia A. McKillip
Ace Trade, 2001
A tapestry
+ Scintilating and mysterious... + Three sisters, three towers
My grandmother died when I was young. Mostly, my memories of her are of her being sick and in a wheelchair. However, my absolute earliest memory of her was when she was sitting at her loom. To a four year old, a loom is a fascinating device (and one that should not be touched by grubby hands). It's ...

Daughter of Exile 13 reviews Isabel Glass
Tor Books, 2004
Enjoyable
At first when I started reading this book, I wasn't very impressed. The main character, Angarred, seemed flighty, the plot moved along haphazardly, and the other characters seemed bland or one-sided. I don't give up easily though, and my consternation turned to pleasure as the story progressed.

Midnight Pearls: A Retelling of "The Little Mermaid" (Once Upon a Time) 11 reviews Debbie Viguié
Simon Pulse, 2006
Better than I'd Expected
+ Little Mermaids (and a Merman too)
I like the "Once Upon a Time" series and the story of "The Little Mermaid," so I was immediately interested in reading this book. However, negative reviews discouraged me from buying it for some time.
Then I saw it at a bookstore one day and had nothing else to buy, so I decided to try it ...

Sunshine 313 reviews Robin McKinley
Jove, 2004
Somewhat difficult to wade through, however....
I liked it.
The vampires are revolting. The violence is grisly and gruesome. The heroine is no Mary Sue.
To start out, Robin McKinley's book "Beauty" is my second favorite book in the world. I tried reading "Deerskin," but I only made it halfway (readers of that book can probably ...
