pickI always enjoy Ilona Andrews — they have a way of world building that‘s believable and engrossing, and always have strong, appealing characters. The tension in this one is absolute fire (pardon the pun haha), and there‘s a vein of humour throughout that keeps things moving and readable. I love the way the world is our own, with just a magical sidestep from reality. The magic system is interesting and the plot twisty and complex. A great read!
so-soThis was cute, especially on my kindle where you can zoom in on panels and really get a look at the art. And the art was my favorite part! The story…not so much. It just seemed to split off too much to secondary storylines, which just bogged down the story overall. Still thought it was cute! 🌟🌟🌟
so-soI‘m not panning this only because I DID finish it, though I‘m not sure why I bothered😅 The majority of the book was just…dull? The characters didn‘t speak to me and the whole plot felt recycled and overdone. It just wasn‘t a compelling story to me. I‘ve heard the second book is better, but I don‘t think I can raise enough interest to try. This one was disappointing.
pickI liked it, I got bored, I liked it again. The world building was good, the characters were interesting, but it was a little too long and I got a little lost in the library myself. Anyway, on to book two.
pickThank goodness for Kindle, which obviated my having to bench-press this 1280 page tome.
Truly, I don't know what my excuse was for not picking it up before now.
The series (two trilogies?) is an easy yet intelligent, entertaining read without ever being lightweight. I got wholly engrossed in it, with my favourite volume being "Tehanu" (possibly because I'm a middle-aged woman).
Wonderful book: brilliant author.
