I loved the world of Three Dark Crowns. The island where this story takes place is so isolated that the outside world doesn’t really know much about them and they don’t know much about the outside world. The three sisters live in this brutal microcosm where they know that their gifts are their weapon and […]

Ex Libris Audio: Sword and Verse
Sword and Verse has been on my reading list for a long time, so I decided to gibe it a listen. The story was a good one, all in all, but in many ways it was not original. Raisa is an orphan and a slave who is picked to be a royal tutor. Her lineage, […]
Blog Tour: The Weaver
After reading The Memory of Water, I knew that The Weaver would be an interesting and beautifully written story. The world of The Weaver is fantasy written from the perspective of Eliana, who lives on an island that lives by strict codes of jobs and personal habits. People have their place and they do their […]
Ex Libris Audio: A Study In Charlotte
The tagline for this book says you’ve never seen Watson and Holmes like this before and, at least for me, this turned out to be true. There have been many, many retellings and re-stagings of the Holmes and Watson relationship, and while this book adds to an already crowded field, I think it did an […]

This Savage Song By Victoria Schwab
Victoria Schwab has long since earned her auto-buy status for my personal library, and I was curious about This Savage Song and how a gritty urban fantasy would fit into this author’s collected works. Well, it fits in quite nicely, as it turns out. The world of This Savage Song is very dark and violent. […]
Ex Libris Audio: Magonia
Oh, how I wanted to like this book. The idea seemed liked something that would be perfect for me. Yet, when it was done, I just couldn’t say that I enjoyed it. The story started with Aza, who was very ill with a mysterious disease that attacked her respiratory system and the strange things she […]
Ex Libris Audio: Assassin’s Heart
Assassin’s Heart takes place in a fantasy world that has definite Italian overtones. Families live in secret compounds and perform assassinations, something that’s legal in this world, as a service to those who wish to hire them. There is a star-crossed lover element to this story that I thought might be interesting, but the story […]
