Historia
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Outstanding, fast paced story with excellent characters
Revisado: 02-13-25
This series is rapidly becoming one of my favourite fantasy series, and the reader maximises the fun and tension. Don't want to include spoilers, but from the start the plot is fast paced and there are plenty of unexpected twists. Loving it.

Historia
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

Occasional strands of plot hidden amongst the porn
Revisado: 02-14-23
A lot of the negative reviews have focused on the performance, I certainly get that - I've enjoyed some of Stina Nielsen's other performances, but this one was like Jim Carrey on ecstasy - but what I can't understand is how so many people gave the story 5 stars.
A Court of Silver Flames is 50% porn, 40% teenage angst, and 10% actual plot. More than 12 hours of 26 had passed before something finally happened to advance the storyline, after which it was straight back to more sex and angst. The final few hours were good which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, but this and the previous book could easily have been condensed into a single novella without losing anything. Much of the book felt like being on the sound crew of a second rate porn production, with the only saving grace being after the first 15-20 repetitive sex scenes I remembered I could fast forward over them (which I've never felt the need to do on any book previously).
I understand Maas is planning two more books in this series. The first 3 books in this series were excellent and I imagine I'll buy them, but I just hope she gets the balance and pace of the plot in those two back to a professional standard.

Rats! They're everywhere: in the breadbins, dancing across tabletops, stealing pies from under the cooks' noses. So what does every town need? A good piper to lure them away. That's where Maurice comes in. But he's only a cat (though one that talks).

Fabulous twist on the Pied Piper tale

"To become a leader you have to learn to shout, but then you have to learn how not to". Never get sick of Terry Pratchett's incite.

Historia
Death has always stalked single mother Allie Callahan. For the first time in her life, she has found a fragile sort of happiness living a quiet, peaceful existence in East Texas with her young son, Sammy, and her adoptive mother. Still, Allie fears she may be susceptible to the same mental illness that destroyed her serial-killer mother and brother. She's haunted by the idea that she could become incapable of caring for Sammy.

Gripping finale to an outstanding trilogy
Revisado: 10-28-16
Jennifer Jaynes has rapidly moved into being one of my favourite authors, and I look forward to every release. Don't Say A Word was a terrific end to Allie's tale. I picked the ending early, but it didn't diminish the story for me as it's Ms Jaynes' great insight into character which makes her books so compelling. Loved it.

Solid story in a well thought out universe
Revisado: 05-06-16
Richard Phillips is getting better with every book he publishes. Characters in the early books had little depth and he seemed to shy away from detail to avoid inconsistencies. The Kasari Nexus is a big step up, and I found myself looking for excuses to listen. He's not in the same class as someone like Sara King with respect to character and plot depth (the gold standard for the genre IMO), but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Historia
Over decades, evidence of an incredible treasure, hidden in the forests of Ecuador, had been gathered by a Roman Catholic priest. The rumors of the treasure date back to the Conquistadors and tales of storehouses of Incan gold. But Professor Delaney McPhearson believes the treasure is older than the Incans. Much older.

Fun plot, but narrated like a children's story
Revisado: 04-28-16
I enjoyed the story well enough. There's little depth to the characters and an excess use of cliches like C4 explosives, ex navy SEALs etc, but the basic plot is fun and moves along at a good pace. I didn't like the narration though - she spoke like she was reading a Little Golden Book to 6 year olds.

Fantastic performance of an excellent slow burner
Revisado: 10-28-15
Natalie Ross captures the emotional confusion of Ali and the experienced confidence of Miss Bitty perfectly. Loved the story, and the performance added to the experience.
