The Crowded Shadows (The Moorehawke Trilogy #2); Celine Kiernan

The poison throne; Celine Kiernan

Rating; 9

Review; Realistic characters, great drama, and a somewhat dissatisfying ending. Pretty much loved the hell out of all of it.

Note: couldn’t find an entry for the 3rd book, the Rebel Prince

Rating:5

I’m glad this is over. Ehhhhh. Cop-out, if somewhat unexpected, ending. Did not like Mina as a character at all.

Amber & Iron

Amber and Iron (Dragonlance: The Dark Disciple, Vol. 2); Margaret Weis

ISBN: 0786940867

Rating:6

Slightly better than book 1, with lots of god cameos and headbutting each other. Looking forward to book 3 just to finish the stupid trilogy.

Pandemonium (Delirium #2); Lauren Oliver

Rating: 8

Review: Teen dystopia! Gasp! Premise is still weird as hell but the characters are more likeable in the second book.

Amber and Ashes

Amber and Ashes (Dragonlance: The Dark Disciple, Vol. 1); Margaret Weis

ISBN: 0786937424

Rating:5

The main character is an uninteresting, boring villain where the main plotline is how a god is in love with her. Lots of smexings (PG).

Thud!

Thud!: a novel of Discworld; Terry Pratchett

ISBN: 0060815221

Rating:9

I can’t believe these books get better with each I read. Pratchett is a master of words, I would read anything by this god.

There are five words to summarize this book: It’s. Better. Than. Garfield. Ever.

Shine; Lauren Myracle

Rating: 8

Review: Teen noir! Impressively well done. The main character is so vivid and sympathetic I’d read a whole series.

Scars

Scars; C. A. Rainfield

ISBN: 9781934813324

Rating: 7

Review: Exactly like Speak. Only the characters don’t ring as true. Everything is too this or that. There is no middle ground.
