Review: Now I Rise – Kiersten White

Review: Now I Rise – Kiersten White

Now I Rise took me on a fantastic trip through history and various countries, following Lada in her quest for power – on her own. Now I Rise is one of my favorite 2017 releases! There, now that’s out of the way, you have been warned that this review might not be as coherent as it could be, because I’m so happy about this book I just want to say : “Run and buy it! Then shut yourself in somewhere to read it!” That’s how good it is! Lada has grown up quite a bit, but now, she’s without Radu and Mehmed, and while she definitely wanted to have allies, they were not the best choice for her to win […]

Review: And I Darken – Kiersten White

Review: And I Darken – Kiersten White

And I Darken was such a good surprise – reading about Lady Lada from when she was a mere child was a dark and delicious adventure. Have you ever been filled with glee when you realise who exactly the main character in your current read is? That’s what happened to me with And I Darken! Lada is Lord Vlad’s daughter, and she’s a princess like no other. When she was born, even the nurse who took care of her found her to be ugly. Her mother was a weak, almost invisible woman, and her father a hard, dark and mean man. When her brother was born a year after her, he was a complete opposite of Lada in every way. He […]

Review: The Stars Never Rise – Rachel Vincent

Review: The Stars Never Rise – Rachel Vincent

Quite fast paced, and set in a very bleak future, The Stars Never Rise is a solid start to Vincent’s new series. My The Stars Never Rise review: At the beginning of The Stars Never Rise, I thought the story had similarities to one of my favorite urban fantasy series Downside Ghosts. Because the it is set in the future, after a big battle, and the church now rules the remaining humans. Nina, the main character, goes to school, and wants to enter the church to become a teacher. However, she also often breaks the rules – even if most of the time that is to keep herself and her younger sister Mellie alive – and she lies by omission […]

Review: Burned – Karen Marie Moning

Review: Burned – Karen Marie Moning

Hot, suspenseful, filled with surprises, and all my favorite Fever characters, Burned was an amazing read, with twists and turns I didn’t see coming. My Burned review: Burned started out with a very hot scene between Barrons and Mac, one that Mac could not even remember because of reasons… The in continued by breaking my heart in a thousand tiny pieces, and it stayed that way for a while, even if I loved seeing Mac, Barrons and the others. The chapters were written in different points of views, and I found it very interesting how different the voices of the various characters came across in Burned. It was very easy to know whose chapter it was, even if it hadn’t […]

Review: Written in my Own Heart’s Blood – Diana Gabaldon

Review: Written in my Own Heart’s Blood – Diana Gabaldon

Written in my Own Heart’s Blood is the 8th book in the Outlander series, and I, for one had been waiting impatiently for quite a while to finally get to read this installment. For once, though, I wasn’t completely swept off my feet, and as I start writing this review, I don’t even know how I am going to rate it yet. My Written in my Own Heart’s Blood Review: Written in my Own Heart’s Blood has several story lines, which is no problem for the fans who have been following the series from the start. We follow Jamie and Clare, of course, and we also follow Brianna and her kids, Roger and Buck, Fergus, Ian and Rachel, Lord John […]
