Hiddlestoner
Is it a horrible thing that every day I look up the tag for Tom Hiddleston and see how many people who are other than me want to marry him? I’m so hopeless
Well, I know that I’d watch it…
Please, PLEASE someone make this movie. You can have all my monies.
I would have to watch this so many times…someone make it so!
Touchstone by Melanie Rawn
Okay, I will just start by saying that I am conflicted about this book. If ms. Rawn were a first time author I would say it was pretty good, needed some work with world building and perhaps an editor with a bit of a heavier hand, but a good effort and I hope to see them continue and improve. Fact is, however, Ms. Rawn is not a first time author. She’s made stories and characters that I have loved so much I cried for three days when they ended/died. Thus I find this book unacceptable. There’s none of the nuance or driving plot lines. I don’t love the characters, they’re one or two dimensional at best. I just want to cry because I feel like the world has lost an amazing writer and she’s not dead! She just can’t write anymore. Not like she used to. And it may be okay for a fan just finding her now. They won’t know what they could have had until they go back and read her other books… But i am just at a total loss. I knew I shouldn’t have read it. Sigh.
Midsummer Night by Freda Warrington
I have been trying to finish this book for a year… Mostly because it fell behind the bed and I was too lazy to retrieve it. I know. Lazy me. I liked the way it ended. A lot. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of Miss Freda’s stuff in the future.
Heroes at Odds by Moira J. Moore
I feel like this book is a good round up for this series. It tied up a lot of loose ends, got rid of some characters that we knew needed to go, and tied Shintaro and Dunleavy up in a neat little package. Though I feel like Moore kind of just wanted to be done with the characters by the end of the book. She seemed to tie up a couple of things really quickly that she could have given a lot more depth too, after they were all mysterious issues for a couple of books. I’ll be interested in seeing what comes from Moore next. I knew from livejournal that she was working on some other projects that she seemed a little more gung-ho about. New projects are always more exciting than old ones though.
CURRENTLY: Ganymede by Cherie Priest, among others.
Devil’s Punch by Ann Aguirre
This book was what I had really wanted the last two to be. It gave a lot of closure on some issues that had been on-going such as Corine’s father and whether her and Chance would get back together, and the demon from the 3rd book referring to her as his Queen. It opened up some new questions, such as will Chance make it back from where ever he went. Also I do really want Kel to come back. I liked him. And I was so glad that Shannon got her memory back, even if perhaps Jesse didn’t. That was the most important thing for me.
CURRENTLY: Ganymede by Cherie Priest
Archon: The Books of Raziel by Sabrina Benulis
The very first thing I thought after about a chapter of this book was: This author has watched WAY too much Supernatural.” And having finished the book I still believe that. There are some definite classic Supernatural overtones in this book. It’s a good book thought, an interesting take on the Heaven and Hell dichotomy and on the Lucifer (in this case Lucifel) story. At least it’s not similar to anything that I’ve read before. It doesn’t give a whole lot of background into how the future became what it is, which kind of bothers me. I would like to know how the Catholic Church got it’s own little island and what kind of apocalyptic stuff went down to give it so much power. Ah, well, perhaps sequels will further expand the world. Because there will definitely be sequels.
IN PROGRESS: Ganymede by Cherie Priest
