Review: The Dark City

The Dark City by Catherine Fisher

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Well written with very compelling characters. Even while I want to smack Galen upside the head I want to know what's going to happen next.

The author has created a rich fantasy setting, with a twist I don't think I've ever read before. I'm nervous about reading the remaining; I don't see how this twist can possibly resolve in a satisfying way. However, if she does manage to pull it off, it has the potential to be amazing.

Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst, I've already started listening to the second book :)

Review: Death Bringer

Death Bringer by Derek Landy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I knew I'd enjoy this book, but did not at all expect to be so totally blown away. Mr. Landy is not at all resting on his laurels as this series progresses.

This installment, like the rest of the series, has outstanding depth, beautiful character development, and nearly non-stop action. My nephew, who refuses to read anything that doesn't grab and hold his craving for excitement, loves this series almost as much as I do.

I should write to Mr. Landy to thank him for letting me sneak some people and feelings into my nephew's action-packing reading preferences :)

A sweet, clever, magical story delightfully narrated by the author. It's just under an hour long, and totally worth the time :)

Review: Abhorsen

Abhorsen by Garth Nix

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This was soooooo good! I don't think I can really review it - I'm still so overwhelmed with the beautiful, tragic, perfect ending to this outstanding trilogy. I knew I'd enjoy it - I didn't expect to be this blown away. Go, right now, and read/listen to this! I've already returned my copy to the library :)
