Why Did I Read? I loved the Grisha trilogy and loved Six of Crows and Leigh is one of my favorite authors! Of course I was going to read it! My Thoughts: A few things first: I absolutely love Leigh’s writing. She’s one of my favorite fantasy authors because her writing is amazing and draws me in. Her story telling is also amazing. I love all the schemes in this book and the twists upon twists upon twists that we get […]

Why Did I Read? Victorian England. Magic. YOU HAVE ME. My Thoughts: I really, really enjoyed this one! I have to say, I really am kind of a sucker for anything Victorian England. Toss in fantasy and that’s like my go to crack. I really liked the set up of this world – that there are sorcerers that protect the realm from the Ancients — a collection of monsters that prey on the people and cause general mayhem and destruction.

For the most part though, this was an enjoyable read. Firstly, I really […]

Why Did I Read? Oh, you know, because the cliff hanger at the end of The Falconer nearly killed me! I can’t even imagine you poor souls who had to wait years after that — how did you survive?! My Thoughts: The Vanishing Throne picks up right where we left off and things start off with a bang. Aileana is at the mercy of Lonnrach in the Sith-bruh and both the human world and the fae world is basically falling apart. Things are […]

I loved this one! It was really everything that I love in fantasy. It was so unique with all the different Londons and I absolutely loved watching them unfold and learning more about each one and the magic involved and that was intrinsic to each. Besides the uniqueness of the magic, I absolutely loved the characters. We have Kell, who can travel between Londons, who has a fabulous coat with many, many, layers and is adopted into the royal family because […]
