Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1) by Seanan McGuire September 1, 2009 Review rating 4/5 This is the best Urban Fantasy novel I’ve read, though then again only UF series I’ve read are the first two books of Shadowhunters (which has a decent storyline but reeks of incest too much for my taste) and the […]

The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer Jan 28, 2004 Review rating 5/5 A return to the sea… I first read this novel back in 2007, and I absolutely loved it back then. For years I meant to read it again, and only this week I managed to open a space on my reading schedule […]

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan Oct 07, 2014 Review rating 4/5 A fitting ending to the series, although not the best book in them. Having decided I’d finish reading this series relatively quickly for my standards (I never read two books in a series back to back to prevent author burnout, usually waiting […]

Of Magic and Memory by Cristy Zinn November 28, 2017 Review rating 4/5 Very much a modern-day fairy tale. After her mother’s sudden passing, Ava finds herself alone as the world lacks what everyone used to think of as her mother’s magic, that touch and attitude with which she made everywhere a better place.

As the finale nears, Heroes of Olympus finally starts feeling like home in what is the best book in the series so far.

A flawed sequel to a great book, The Toyminator shows us what happens when a novel falls in love with its own concept.

Hollow City by Random Riggs Janary 14, 2014 Review rating 4/5 Back to the peculiarverse… I loved the first book in this series. It was one of those rare occasions where a book is so well written and plotted the pages fly by on their own, where I feel like spending every spare minute I […]

A dark, uncommon brand of fantasy with a storyline so dense and haunting it will remain in your head a while after you’re done reading, The Firebird is perhaps one of the most peculiar books I’ve come across in recent years.

The Mark of Athena The Heroes of Olympus, #3 by Rick Riordan October 2, 2012 Review rating 4/5 I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this series. I’ll start by making one thing clear: I loved the original Percy Jackson series, Percy Jackson & the Olympians. I found those books to be creative, […]
