Mini Reviews: A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, Him

Posted June 8, 2016 by Wendy in Mini Reviews, Reviews / 2 Comments

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 […]

Audiobook Review: Reign of Shadows by Sophie Jordan

The Sound: I really liked the audio narrators! I always like when there are two narrators for a dual POV book and I thought both did such a great job. They definitely fit how I pictured the characters to sound — for example, Luna is a bit naive and the narrator for her definitely sounded young and innocent. The Story: I had been really excited for this fantasy and I have to say… it fell a bit short for me. […]

I felt like this one had a lot of potential. It’s an […]

Review: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

Why Did I Read? I’m a big fan of time travel books and so of course, the sound of this one hooked me in! My Thoughts: I am all about time travel and historical fiction so Passenger seemed to be the perfect fit for me! For the most part, I really enjoyed this one! It started off really slowly for me though. There’s a large segment in the beginning where our main character Etta goes back in time and she really […]

Audiobook Review: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

Posted January 7, 2016 by Wendy in Reviews / 7 Comments

The Sound: It’s Fiona Hardingham and Steve West. Apparently I listened to three audiobooks in a row narrated by Fiona and two of them also had Steve West. THEY ARE AMAZING. Seriously. Love them. The Story: This is my first Maggie Stiefvater book! And now I know I need to read all her books! I thought the writing in The Scorpio Races was beautiful and I adored the story! I’m a big horse person. I loved horses as a kid and […]
