I dug this book. Karou is a cool character. She's ready to fight deadly battles in an instant but is still gentle, and trustful. I loved the Chimera! Half animal / reptile, half human, these are the creatures that make up Karou's family. She loves them, even if they do hide secrets that could des...
This was a good sequel. Not as good as the first book but good because it answers a lot of questions and I liked that because I definitely wanted to figure things out after that first book. Still love Karou and Zuzana and Akiva even more than I did in the first book. Nick is ok but he adds to Zuz...
The fight continues and what fight.Avika and Karou are now enemies in her eyes or is she wrong?she helps her own to stand up again.She feels so alone, but at that moment her friends find her and later Avika gives her back another friend. when she finds out Thiago is even more evil than she though...
Whew! Once again, it took me a while to get into this volume, but this time it was because in the months since I had read Daughter of Smoke & Bone I had forgotten so much, and it took me a long time to get with it again. Lovely writing. Slow moving, but original and every now and then, a sudden u...
I enjoyed this a lot more than the first row books. In fact, for most of the book, I found it very hard to put down for any length of time. I did not enjoy a fairly lengthy bit near the end, however, which reminded me of one of Weber's long info-dumps — not that it was one, but I found the histor...
Before anything else i must say that i laughed quite a lot reading it. So we get a look inside Zuzana and Mik's lives. Believe me they are as awesome as they were in the novels. Another thing i must add is that this novella is about beginning of Zuzana and Mik's relationship so its cheesy. But no...
As I was reading Silksinger, I thought that it was a bit worse than the first book. But the end was very good and even though there were some deaths (unlike the first book) ((and ofc they were unneccessary in my opinion)) I did enjoy it as much as the first one. Magpie is my favorite, even though...
I absolutely adored this little novella. I decided to purchase it as an audio book to listen to at the gym and was not disappointed. Written in Laini Taylor's unique and cheeky style, Zuzana is brought to life by the voice over actress and her spot on reading. I loved Zuzana and Mik in the three ...
I rarely give five stars but this Trilogy is up there with Hunger Games and would also make an awesome movie adaptation. The beginning can be a little slow but once it picks up it doesn't let up until the end of the third book. The story is unique and well thought out and executed. There are many...
Laini Taylor is a genius.This has to be one of my favourite series. It took a while to get through, but i didn't feel guilty about it since so much is happening i feel like you NEED to take time with it. Her writing style, her world and her characters all just fit together perfectly and I definit...
For a 600 page book, this book was surprisingly not long enough. I would very much enjoy another book to this series, or just another book about Karou and Akiva and all the rest.As I've said with the last book, the characters were flawless. I love Ziri and Liraz, Zuzana and Mik, and of course, Ka...
As a whole I really loved this trilogy. I read the first book, and the moment I finished, could not wait to start reading the second, and likewise when it came to the third installment. I have read so many trite stories, only compelled myself to finish because I hoped that the author would do j...
When the ancient evil of the Blackbringer rises to unmake the world, only one determined faerie stands in its way. However, Magpie Windwitch, granddaughter of the West Wind, is not like other faeries. While her kind live in seclusion deep in the forests of Dreamdark, she's devoted her life to tra...
How often had her thoughts, however otherwise occupied, suddenly skidded back to the scorched note in Kishmish’s claws? Like a scratch in a record, the note had worn its groove in her mind. What had it said? What had Brimstone wanted to tell her as the portals burned?What had the note said?And th...
