The Wicked King by Holly Black
I DID NOT SEE THAT ENDING COMING HOLY SHIT!!! That’s it. That’s the post. OK, starting right with that curve-ball, I have trouble believing that Cardan isn’t banishing Jude in part because it will keep her safe. He saw what shape she was in when she returned from Queen Orlagh’s court. Jude is going to […]

The book opens with a memory of Arwen as a child following Halden and Ryder into her step-father’s shed. When Halden gets hurt Arwen heals him, the first time she ever uses her power. Ryder sneaks off and abandons them. It does kind of lay the groundwork for who Ryder turned out to be as […]
The Promise of Peridot by Kate Golden
They finally arrive in Citrine, an enchanted city under the sea. Honestly the place sounds pretty amazing – diverse restaurants, 24-hour night life, everybody dressed to the nines. I love seafood so I might be biased here, but still. They also manage to pick up the human embodiment of a Labrador Retriever, Prince Fedrik. For […]

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
So here is a confession – I’ve never really thought of myself as somebody who enjoys romance before. I read a few of my mother’s Harlequins as a teen and didn’t think much of them. I have always loved science fiction and fantasy. At some point I started reading fan-fiction for my favourite shows and […]
A Dawn of Onyx by Kate Golden
Arwen Valondale lives in the small town of Abbington in the Kingdom of Amber with her sick mother and younger sister. Her brother Ryder has been drafted to fight in a war against the much larger and richer Kingdom of Onyx – a war that everybody knows was started by Onyx because their King is […]
The Eye of The World by Robert Jordan
So full confession here, I’m on a podcast with a group of friends where we started off talking about the Wheel of Time TV show. We loved the TV show so much and it was such a disappointment when it was cancelled. So we decided to to read the books and talk about them together. […]
