Deals in the Night || The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Review

Deals in the Night || The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Review

Initial Thoughts I read this book after seeing all the five-star reviews from my own friends, and as I read--don't get me wrong, I loved the beginning--I still wondered why. Were the last pages really worth all of the slow buildup of two characters (a third if you count Luc)? Does this book really pull [...]

Mini Reviews: ExtraOrdinary, Lore Olympus

Mini Reviews: ExtraOrdinary, Lore Olympus

Getting through some of these mini reviews so I can finally catch up on the major books I've been meaning to review (which isn't much, in retrospect...). Both are graphic novels released around the same time, and both quick reads! Have you read either of these books? What did you think?

Mini Reviews: The Steel Prince, Vols. 2 and 3

Here's a bit of a Schwabfest. It's been two years since I've actually read the first volume of The Steel Prince series (you can tell by the fact that I've since changed my mini-reviews format!), but it left such a lasting impression that I certainly had no trouble picking up where they left off! The graphics [...]

Mini Reviews: The Steel Prince, Burn Bright

July 11, 2019July 9, 2019by Mari2 Comments on Mini Reviews: The Steel Prince, Burn Bright

Yeah, my June readings amounted to...four books. Oops?! That being said, I spent quite a bit of the last half of the month traveling, so that might explain much. Also, audiobook reading slowed because I didn't often have access to Libby. But in any case! Before I did go on my Moroccan trip, I polished [...]

Hell Hath No Fury || Vengeful Review

February 24, 2019February 19, 2019by MariLeave a Comment on Hell Hath No Fury || Vengeful Review
Hell Hath No Fury || Vengeful Review

Initial Thoughts: This must have been the longest time it took for me to read a Schwab book from cover to cover, but hot damn it was good to get back into Merit. Side and new main characters aside, it was still largely an Eli vs. Victor book and their confrontations are the absolute best. [...]

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)

Reading Ratings (in Cookies)

5 cookies = Book was so deliciously awesome that I couldn't put it down or get it out of my mind for a while.

4 cookies = Book was great and certainly worth the read.

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

2 cookies = Meh.

1 cookie = Why did I even bother?!
