Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

A large part of the storyline in this book is the hunt for Andarna’s family and that raises so many questions for me. It’s confirmed that the dragons lay eggs but also that they are involved in raising the children. So are they raised communally? By their biological parents? Or by their “breeds’ and Andarna […]

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

So in the first couple of chapters The Assembly votes to send Violet and the other cadets back to Basgiath. This kind of makes sense from the rebel point of view I guess, but it’s not so good for the cadets when it becomes obvious that they are being targeted for assassination. I guess once […]

Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas

Dorien had a sad in the last book but he has moved on in this one. Good for him. Celaena’s – sorry Aelin’s – new environment is very different from her old one. She a nobody there, for a starter. With no connections she seems to be at a loss. It’s also interesting to me […]

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas

Celaena has won the competition and taken her place as the King’s Champion. This means killing people – a lot of people. He gives her a name and she returns with a head in a bag. Nobody knows that the heads do not really belong to the people she was sent to kill. For the […]

The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J Maas

The hardest thing about reading a popular (and LONG!) series when all your books come from the library is trying to get them in order. So my understanding is, that this book was written third but was intended to be read first. And I’m really glad I didn’t read it first because man, I hated […]

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Violet Sorrengail is the third child of General Lilith Sorrengail, who leads the Basgiath War College in Navarre. General Sorrengail is a dragon rider, and is incredibly proud of her two older children who followed in her footsteps. So much so that she forces Violet to give her dreams of becoming a Scribe like her […]

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

The library hold list for anything Sarah J Mass is crazypants. Finally this book arrived – looking absolutely tortured. It’s very obviously a popular series. I guess I was just lucky that I actually got the first one in the series. I have all the sequels on hold, so hold your breath to find out […]

The Emperor of Evening Stars by Laura Thalassa

It turns out that The Bargainers entire career on earth was about finding his prophesied human mate. He was obsessed with it. He spent over 150 years building up a business and a reputation just because he wanted to hang around on earth long enough to run into her. How did he ever find time […]

Dark Harmony by Laura Thalassa

We now enter the next part of the Thief of Souls’ plan as all the sleeping warriors start waking up and attacking their kingdoms. In retrospect, it was probably a bad idea to inter them with their weapons. The quest to figure out WHY IS FATHER ALIVE takes them to a place that is leeched […]

A Strange Hymn by Laura Thalassa

So book 2 picks up right away from book 1. Callie is traumatized by her wings. I won’t lie, I find it really weird that she doesn’t want wings. I want wings. She can give me her wings. I guess it’s because he’s 500 years old, but Des’ taste in band t-shirts always makes me […]
