Shit Escalates

“The victor writes history with the blood of the vanquished.”

I love this series so much! I was worried that when he added new POV characters in Iron Gold I’d enjoy the books less because there’d be less of the characters I loved, but that hasn’t been the case at all! I’m so glad Lightbringer won’t be the end!

I love this series

Revisado: 03-08-23

This is one of my favorite series. I was hooked from the first page and the pacing is perfect. The writing is thought provoking and beautiful without being overwritten. The characters are flawed but lovable. The world is complex and interesting.
Tim Gerard Reynolds does a fantastic job on the narration. I recommend both the book and the audiobook frequently.

I enjoyed the premise and the story was really fast paced and entertaining. I did feel like the characters could’ve been more developed.

Interesting continuation

Revisado: 04-13-22

I’ve really enjoyed this series, and I enjoyed getting more of Zu’s and enjoyed the new characters. I was annoyed any time the narrator said Suzume or Vida’s names, as they were pronounced differently than they were in previous books.

Perfect for young teens

Revisado: 04-13-22

This was a fast, fun read. Aspects of the world and some plot points were really similar to the Mortal Instruments series, but it was different enough to keep me interested. If you’re looking for clean Urban Fantasy for young teens, I’d definitely recommend this.

Captivating from the start

Revisado: 03-13-22

Magic and intrigue is one of my favorite combinations, and the Mesmerist does it well. I enjoyed the characters, and piecing together what was happening, and the Magic system is really interesting.

Interesting premise

Revisado: 03-12-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This story was fast paced and interesting, and I feel like the world has a lot of potential. I wish the characters had been more fleshed out, and the plot less rushed. The book ends rather abruptly, and while I understand having cliff hangers to keep readers wanting more, it felt like nothing was explained or resolved in this book.

Raw, gritty, sometimes frustrating

Revisado: 11-10-21

Queenie is stuck. After being dumped by her long-term boyfriend, Queenie tries to fill the void with a series of irresponsible sexual encounters. As the book progresses we get an up close look at Queenie’s struggle with mental health, struggle to balance the expectations of office (where she’s the only black woman) and her Jamaican grandparents. Trying to balance a desire to get healthy with the cultural taboo against therapy and discussions of mental health.

Queenie is smart, witty, passionate, and interesting. She’s also frustrating beyond belief as we’re forced to watch her make bad decision after bad decision. She’s one of the most complex, real, characters I’ve read in a long time.
I also really appreciated the balance between the raw portrait of a woman who is struggling, and the humor of her wit and her friends (the Corgis) helping her find the light.

Well-written fantasy book with powerful themes

Revisado: 11-10-21

I really enjoyed this book! In the world of the Belles, beauty and power go hand in hand, with the Belles using their abilities to sculpt the wealthy and powerful into whatever they choose. There’s darkness behind the beauty and glamor though, and more than a few secrets and mysteries. The book looks at the commodification of beauty (and who benefits from said commodification) through the lens of the fictional world of Orleans.

I loved Clayton’s world and writing style, and the focus on strong female characters! The world was really rich and interesting and vibrant. Camellia is strong and cunning, but also compassionate. Edel is fiercely, passionately herself, regardless of anyone else’s expectations. Bree is kind and loyal, strong and capable. I loved the characters and was excited to spend more time with them in book two.
