Broken Homes brings the Peter Grant series back towards the quality of Rivers of London & Moon over Soho, though it still suffers some of the problem's (read: Boring parts) of it's prequel, Whispers Under Ground. Never the less, this is a one step towards to wake up my interest again, and because of the cliffhanger end it is guaranteed, that I'll get my hands on the next part as well.

Reached closes the circle on Cassie, Ky and Xander as the rebellion against the Society finally emerges.
Condie makes very nice work on describing troubled society and differences between Society and Rising become bit foggy towards the end.

During the years D books have changed. When I first begun to read these novels D was silent and a bit grumby type of antihero. He rarely spoke and when he did, it was as little as possible.
Now, on the 16th novel he's become more talkative, more social - and more colder. And the stories involve more and more side characters each time.
I guess it's not a bad thing, from the story point of view, but occasionally I do miss the silent type lonely Hunter who has bizarre conversations with his left hand... Lucky for me the hand still is hilarious (and somewhat still a riddle)! ;)

The Prince of Lies is darker than it's two predecessors and that is not a bad thing.
A bad, or more likely sad thing is all those loose ends Lyle leaves hanging in the air after final page. Sure, the main problem of skrayling guiser as usurping the throne is dealt with along with the split spirit of Erishen, but that's about as good as it get's.
Lyle's not promising to get back to Night's Masque (just vague "maybe someday"), which is a shame since it seems that Mal, Coby & partners still would have many stories untold at their future.

Never the less, the story that was actually told here was as interesting as the last two books, even with the craving for more it left behind...

I loved the idea that in Jane Austen's world there is magic to be used and it's not to do in dark places, but it is a part of everyday life. Gives a nice touch to quickly read, light and romantic novel. :)

Can't help but to love Lyle's writing style, which hooked me on The Alchemist of Souls and which she continues at the Merchant of Dreams.

Fast paced plot take turns on Mal and Coby.
Mal is send to Venice to spy on Skrylings doings with Ned as Coby is forced to stay behind with his brother Sandy to deal with problems occured in London, but as things go, she too is soon forced to flee England with Sandy and Gabriel and is hurried to reach Mal in treacherous Venice where they have to face more skrayling related problems adding to the fact that the brothers still carry the soul of one the mystical creatures in them.

Long as it is MoL filled me with longing when it ended. Never again I'll be able to read it for the "First Time" again.

Wheel of Time has been an adventure, a long one...It made me laugh, and maybe cry a bit, it crushed my heart, left me bleed and brought me back to life, but kept a piece of my soul with it when the final page turned.

13 years of waiting on my behalf, so sorry for being bit sentimental.;)

MoL is a fitting end to the saga and a long goodbye letter to the small gang of Two Rivers.

Intriguing story of Elizabethan England spiced up with shakespearean theatre, magic and swordfighting heroes added up with alien race of Skraylings.
Fast paced & catchy plot.
Left me crave for sequal! :)

Nice and bit different novel about alternative fictional history between logical land of Angelica (England) and magical land of Bhatara (India).
Story is quick paced, following mainly the one course of life of Tori Harding, a victorian woman who has dedicated her life to science, because her physical defect prevents her ever to marry. Her science filled life is turned upside down when her mentor, her own grandfather, is suddenly killed in weird circumstances leaving her with nothing in the man ruling field of science. To prove her worth as a serious scientist Tori decides to finish up her papa's work and find the mysterious magical flower he kept insisting excist in the continent of Bhatara.
Logical Tori travels to this magical land and eventually grows to know more about this heretic, conquered land than she bargened for.

A thousand perfect things is a story of a woman in a world of men and a story of perspective of looking at things.

"In the panic of the moment, she blurted, "We didn't know that you hated us."
"Am I to love my enemy?" He was taunting her with her own religion, teaching that even Anglics did not obey. Rising to his feet, he said, "You use love when it suits you. And guns when it does not."
-quote from the book-

Qhuinn and Blay really deserved a book of their own after all that circling each other on previous parts in BDB.

What comes to the rest of the Brotherhood it seems that the final battle is near and I'm looking forward of what will happen between Wrath's Brothers, Old World's Band of Bastards and the always so uptight aristocrat's, glymera.

After slouchy start (almost gave up during first hundred pages) Siege and Strorm finally picked up some speed and intrest, mostly cause of new side character Sturmhond. His humoristic personality gave me enough strength to carry on reading and eventually the last half of the book turn out to be quite good, but it never really got me such high spirits as the first part of the Grisha trilogy did.

For many years I have wanted to read Gaiman's Sandman comic's and now I finally started.

I regret so much that I didn't start sooner. Absolute pearl of comics this is. The story is intriguing and art marvelous. Can't wait to get my hands on the next part!
