The author packed a lot in for a novella, you're dealing with the vagrancies of time travel, a romance, and a lot of backstory. Still it did an admirable job of not overloading the story or skipping too much to make you feel like anything got slighted. I think the time travel element was the most interesting part of things and I enjoyed that Gavin's choices felt authentic to who he was an what he'd been through. There are some darker elements to this story, but they're not wallowed in so it doesn't bog down this story or make it hard to read. Gavin has had a really rough time of things and has been handed a pretty bad hand. At heart though he's still a good guy. I felt for him and understood why he'd handle things the way he did.
I think the one downside to this story was that I didn't really get to know Cato the way I would have wanted for him to be thrown in as a romantic option. I liked that the author didn't force Gavin's feelings on things, but I wished I knew more about the person Cato is.

My biggest problem with this story was how much I just really didn't like Ged.

Yes he's young, but his selfishness and his inability to let a perceived slight go makes him hard to identify with or feel sympathy for. I did enjoy the world though and the second half of the book definitely got better as Ged finally started to take ownership of his faults and to tackle his problems rather than run from it.
I liked enough of the story to be curious about the next book and see if Ged grows on me as he is now older. I did see some of that growth by the end of this story, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in book two....more
I really truly love Amor Towles writing. The quality of his words is just entrancing. I picked this book up for a challenge where this was one of the I really truly love Amor Towles writing. The quality of his words is just entrancing. I picked this book up for a challenge where this was one of the options from a list, I knew really nothing about it going in other than that it was written by an author I had liked in the past. This book was a pleasant surprise, things went in a direction that was completely unexpected. I really didn't read the description or anything, so I was expecting a brother's road trip story, which we do kind of get, but there's so much more going on here.
The story takes place over 10 days and there's a lot of things packed into those few short days. I liked Emmett and his brother though. I appreciated how devoted Emmett was to getting a fresh start and that he had a plan for a new life for him and his brother. Having his "friends" from the work farm show up on his doorstep was not in the plans.
Each of the characters in this story were interesting and unique. I can't say that I liked all of them. Duchess was hard, their chapters were often the hardest for me to leave. Duchess isn't really a good guy, even as he justifies to himself all of his actions. Woolly is the sort of guy that I did feel for, life seems to come at him from a different direction than most and he just doesn't grasp how to handle it all. His connection with young Billy was actually very sweet.
There are some dark undercurrents in this story and the characters are facing a lot in a short amount of time. I remained hopeful for Emmett and Billy to find their new start though and ultimately I just loved this story....more

The atmosphere of this world and the small Pennsylvanian town is brought to life as the discovery of a body shakes up everyone's secrets and threatens to break one family into pieces.
I enjoyed this book, but I'm not sure that I liked all of the characters much of the time. But the fact that we jump around in time and from different characters perspectives really fleshes out a full picture and while we may not always like a character or their choices, with each new chapter from their perspective we understand a little more. Marley may be our main narrator, and I definitely felt for her as she tries to find her place in this world, to step into adulthood and make a family for herself, but I appreciated the chapters from the other characters POV's. I felt like I got to understand their choices much better and their inner motivations. Each of these characters was nuanced and had a lot of growing up to do. The Joseph brothers are all flawed and their differing relationships with Marley were fascinating.
I enjoyed this book more than I expected to. I was anxious for the characters throughout the story as I was hoping for a happy ending. I wanted them to be able to work things out. To come out of everything stronger. At the end of the day I walked away satisfied. Nothing is perfect, but there is hope and growth. Four teenagers find their way into adulthood that was in many ways thrust on them way to young, some through their own actions and some through circumstances beyond their control. The "adults" in this book are actually the people I cared about the least. Their self-centered actions did a lot to hurt their children, meant to or not....more

I was curious to see how this was going tThis was like pulling teeth for me and I hate the dentist. There was very little redeemable about this book. I was curious to see how this was going to be put together, knowing a little of who Snow becomes. But being in his head for this entire book just made it intolerable. Everytime one of his actions would seem slightly positive, knowing his thoughts completely undermined any potential good intentions. He's whiny, self serving, with frankly no morals. He's driven by only one thing, money and power. I wanted to sympathize with him for what had happened to his family during the war, but every action he takes just made me loathe him more. Even his supposed feelings for Lucy Grey really weren't true feelings, just what served him best for one brief moment in time.
I find the Hunger Games as a concept shudderingly awful. Without an intriguing or redeemable character the subject matter of this series is just not my cup of tea. This isn't the story of people recognizing that the games are horrid and should not exist, but instead is all about how to make them worse. While the quality of Ms. Collins' novels is apparent, I just can't get behind the subject at all. I found the whole thing distasteful and it took me weeks to push myself through finishing the story. If it hadn't been for a challenge I don't know that I would have made it through. I cared nothing for any of the characters in this story....more

Everything was going to come to a head and really it was just the final battle left to come. I still hated the love triangle and frankly didn't really care who was going to win that one out.

I liked Sophie and I appreciated that while she had the heroic qualities you want, she also wasn't stupid enough to not rely on those around her. She knew she'd need her friends even if the final push was going to have to be all her. I enjoyed her decisions for her future at the end of it all too.
Ultimately this was a good wrap up of the storyline and I enjoyed this world and these characters....more
4.5 Stars - I'm rounding up as ultimately this is a incredibly well done book, the different style compared to the rest of the series took some gettin4.5 Stars - I'm rounding up as ultimately this is a incredibly well done book, the different style compared to the rest of the series took some getting used to. And well, this is a bleak hard book in a lot of ways.
This entire book is in a lot of ways a coming of age drama even though Hava is no longer a child. Her grace is one of hiding and makes her whole life one of loneliness and isolation. She's socially still fairly inept and isn't sure that connections with others is even something that she wants. Since the only perspective we get in this book, unlike others in the series, is Hava's we really get to know her. Hava isn't always pleasant. She's sharp tongued and quick to anger. She doesn't know how to relate to people trying to help her, or teach her. She pushes back against being asked to do things and nothing ever seems to be easy with her. But an ocean voyage in the winter, entrapped upon a ship with few outlets, starts Hava's own internal investigation and questioning. A shipwreck and the isolation, tragedy, and trials that the group much endure just compounds Hava's self analysis.
This journey is long and arduous. It forces Hava to address her own selfishness and upon discovery of a kidnapped blue fox, puts front and center Hava's inability to ignore someone in pain and trapped. She knows what it's like to be hidden away and damaged because of it. She's determined to rescue the blue fox and punish those responsible.
I found the first half of this book was hard. Hava isn't very likeable to begin with. Her sharp tongue and inability to let people in makes her very difficult to empathize with. But somehow I still kept rooting for her to find her way out of her own mental anguish and to realize that not all connections with people are bad. She has so much anger towards her past and her father, moving on isn't going to be easy for her.
The journey across the ice and snow is arduous and Kristin Cashore's writing is evocative. You really do feel the bleakness of their plight. The last third of the book really does pick up pace and the addition of the fox kits makes everything more enjoyable. I appreciated all of the change that Hava was going through while also still feeling trapped not just in her past, but in the miles of ice they barely escaped from.
I love this series. I do hope we get another book here. There's so much more to be explored. I hope to see Hava continue to develop as a person....more
Mark Lawrence has fast become one of my favorite authors. I just love the quality of his writing. This new series is yet another enthralling world thaMark Lawrence has fast become one of my favorite authors. I just love the quality of his writing. This new series is yet another enthralling world that sucks you right in. This is a complex world for all that everything really is tightened down to one city and the Library that is at the center of it. The book is slow to start and understanding the history of the library and how we get to where we are today is a complicated piece of myth and religion that is slowly doled out to us as our main character Livira discovers each new hint.
Livira was born to the Dust, the land outside Crath City, an area that the king of Crath City has deemed worthless and thus it's people are as well. Livira though is incredibly smart and with a bit of luck, her own smart mouth and spark, and one person who sees more than the surface, her life begins anew as an apprentice to the Library. I loved how determined she was to learn everything she could and to discover the secrets of the library. So much of its knowledge is hidden and obfuscated by Head Librarians of the past. Livira is determined to ferret out its secrets and what it all means. This leads her to an area of the library that she's not supposed to have accessed and to meet Evar.
Evar is a young man who has been trapped in his own sort of hell as his people have been sealed into one room of the library. An attack that happened long before has left the only remaining people as himself and his adoptive siblings. They've only ever had each other for company until one day a book leads Evar to question if there truly is another way out of the section of the library they're trapped in. Meeting Livira in that escape sets everything both of them know to be true spinning out of control. Things aren't always what they seem.
This book addresses so many bigger themes: xenophobia, nepotism, control of knowledge, what is right, whose perspective is valid...there's so much knowledge that has been lost or hidden and that affects every action each person takes. There are two sides to the story and neither has the entire picture.
I loved how complex this story is and the characters within it. There are so many threads dangling at the end of this story. I can't wait to read the next book....more

It's not my favorite in the series. I think part of that was I expected even more sass from Eridan when it came to his Master after the little we saw of him in the the last book. But, really most of it is, for me, the relationship was problematic from the start. Power structure imbalance, and the fact that Eridan feels REALLY young throughout this entire story is a big part of it. I also really wanted to see Castien warm up more than he really did. There's only a tiny piece of the ending that I felt like ok maybe Eridan and Castien could have a happy relationship, but it still felt a little manipulated.
Still I'm looking forward to Warrehn's book. I just going to knock this one up to the fact that it hit a couple of tropes that aren't my favorite as I've loved the rest of this series and the author's other works....more
Why, oh why, did I hesitate even a moment before diving into this book. I loved the first novel in the series, but I guess I really just wasn't in theWhy, oh why, did I hesitate even a moment before diving into this book. I loved the first novel in the series, but I guess I really just wasn't in the mood for YA/NA, and yet this book hooked me quite quickly. This is a wonderful, friends to enemies to friends to lovers story. There's a ton of history between Jasper and Milo, but it's been years since they've had anything to do with each other. And that's all on Milo. He knows he screwed up and he's trying to be a better man.
This story is one of growing up. It's the point where you realize that your childhood decisions might not always have been the best and that people got hurt because of those choices. Milo has his reasons, and they're valid, but I loved watching him try to make up for his past. He knows that's not the sort of man he wants to be and getting another chance at anything with Jasper, friendship or maybe something more is more than he could have ever asked for.
I appreciated that Jasper didn't just let Milo off the hook right away. He's drawn into helping him because of their past and unresolved issues, but he doesn't trust him. Milo's going to have to prove his sincerity. But these two were just lovely together as well. I was cheering for them from the first. Jasper is such an amazing soul who really cares about his friends and his family. He'd do anything for them. His goodness pulls Milo right in and he's going to live up all that they could be no matter how uncomfortable those choices might be at first. But in the end he knows he's going to find the freedom to truly be himself for the first time.
Adored both books in this series. They hit all my good time nerd feels. Love!...more
This book was a little slow to start as we're back to the beginning of the school year and no one knows what this year is going to look like. StrangelThis book was a little slow to start as we're back to the beginning of the school year and no one knows what this year is going to look like. Strangely nothing too much seems to be happening, well except around El. The school seems quite determined to kill her. But as the year progresses the story picks up as well. I just loved how everything is changing and really changing El. Orion of course is still patrolling the school looking for mals to kill, but new alliances seem to be potentially coming that El could never have expected.
I loved the little bit of a twist this story throws at you. It builds subtly through the book until it's the inevitable conclusion you knew had to be coming. I really love these characters and I've enjoyed watching El get pulled kicking and screaming into having friends and people she actually cares about.
Great story and a hell of a cliffhanger to end it all off. So glad I'm reading this after the series is complete and I have the next book waiting....more
Roger and Jack were childhood best friends who only ever shared one kiss between them on the night before they were to leave town. There's been a war Roger and Jack were childhood best friends who only ever shared one kiss between them on the night before they were to leave town. There's been a war between then and now and seeing each other again for the first time is a surprise. Neither quite knows how the interaction got so awkward or why their communications got further and farther between, but under it all is still the spark that they only had one brief moment of acknowledging.
This was a lovely story of two damaged souls returning from war to find the one thing that carried them through might still be a possibility, if only they can figure out how to seize it. I liked seeing these two guys navigate rediscovering each other and maneuvering past the good intentions of their families to find each other and happiness again....more
I really enjoyed this story. I've always like Bitterblue and I felt like she finally gets to become her own person in this story. She's the queen of MI really enjoyed this story. I've always like Bitterblue and I felt like she finally gets to become her own person in this story. She's the queen of Monsea of course, but when she ends up falling off the ship sailing to Winterkeep and is kidnapped she's on her own and has to really dig in to her internal feelings. I loved that the circumstances, as difficult as they were for all the Monsean's thinking that their queen was dead, had Giddon finally admitting his own feelings for the queen he thinks lost.
There's enough action throughout this story to keep the political intrigue from dragging down the pace of this story. I loved Ad and the rest of the blue foxes. They were entertaining. I enjoyed exploring this new land in Winterkeep and how their political machinations have so greatly affected Monsea.
This series is very well written and always grabs my attention right away. This story is no exception. ...more
Oh wow! Ok so I picked up this book on a whim for a challenge where it was the only option on the list that I was even a little interested in. I have Oh wow! Ok so I picked up this book on a whim for a challenge where it was the only option on the list that I was even a little interested in. I have loved Naomi Novik's writing often in the past, but I knew nothing about this story in particular. But, man was I sucked in immediately. This is a bit of a Harry Potter meets Hunger Games story. There's a lot of incredibly clever world building in this novel and I absolutely adored the heroine.
I loved El and her narrative voice. She's been shunned by most everyone her entire life because her magic puts off sort of a dark vibe. But she wants nothing to do with the sort of dark side of magic that most everyone assumes she uses. Kinda hard to want to go that way when your mother is everything good and caring and healing in her own magic. Yet for El staying on the straight and narrow and not destroying the world isn't as easy as it might seem, especially when your school's magic knows how much power you have and seems determined to only teach you spells for things like how to create a supervolcano. To make matters worse you're stuck in the same year as everyone's favorite hero Orion Lake. He's only saved your life 3 or 4 times so far, not that you asked him to.
God I loved the set up here of two souls, both alone, but for different reasons. At its' heart this is a story of unlikely friendship, and of staying true to yourself, of fighting the good fight when the odds are stacked against you. I loved the little team that El is pulling together around herself even if she's not exactly sure how she's accomplished that. Friends were never what she expected. An alliance would have been wonderful, but she figured she'd have to prove how strong she was somehow in order to get offered an alliance to run the gauntlet at graduation. But as more and more of the maleficers have made their way up into the school instead of waiting for the graduation banquet to come their way things are getting hairy.
This was such a wonderful story. I can't wait to see what the series brings. By far one of my favorite books of the year. I adored every second of it and couldn't put it down...more

I really enjoyed the majority of the book. Each of the characters was distinct and their motivations all came from different levels of acceptance of who they were. I enjoyed the disjointed, non-linear style of the way this narrative was told. It read so smoothly that it never felt jarring even though it could have.
This story spans decades and multiple generations dealing with what it means to be Black in America and just how much your skin tone, unfortunately, affects your experience of this world. I loved the divergent roads these twins went down as it really helped to explore and showcase how each of the sister's experienced the world. The decisions they made, how affected they were by their heritage, in turn affected how their children viewed the world and how they walked in it. It was a difficult world to be living in and I understood how Stella could choose to make the decision to live her life as a white woman. Being white passing made her life easier in some ways, but it also meant denying who she really was and left her a much sadder person. I felt like she was never truly happy because she was always living in fear of being found out. She never really accepted who she truly was. And as her daughter found out more about her mother's past it caused her to question her own position in the world. Kennedy was so untethered, adrift in a sea of not knowing who and what she was or wanted to be. Desiree, unlike her sister, chose to fly in the face of the ideals of Mallard and ignore the white washing the whole town tried to put on. Instead she married a dark skinned black man that ultimately left her running back to all she had ever known and fleeing from the violence he represented. But Jude, growing up as a dark-skinned child in a sea of light skinned African-American's obsessed with being lighter, ultimately was really the only one who truly accepted herself and led the happiest life of all of them.
I enjoyed the way this story circuitously had the cousins meeting and the sister's lives looping back around towards each other again. I adored the way that the LGBTQ storyline was threaded in and felt so authentic and valid to this story. It didn't feel like something that was crowbarred in to make a point, but instead came from a natural experience of life. I loved Jude and Reese's relationship. I loved the acceptance they found together, both dealing with being ostracized for something they didn't control, but choosing acceptance and love with each other.
Overall this was a great story that really made you think about the expectations and demands society puts on us all. It sheds light on a topic that's hard to discuss and still affects our lives today. If I had one teeny tiny complaint about this novel it's just that the ending felt more than a little abrupt. But all in all I found myself entranced by a well told story that illuminated a part of the world I would have littler personal experience with. I loved that this story really made me think and look at the preconceptions about people that I make without even thinking about it. I can't wait to see what HBO does with this if the mini-series in development comes to fruition. Casting alone will be fascinating. ...more

I really appreciated the author's note at the end that gave you a great grasp of just what she pulled straight from history to meld around her fictional women.
This story is told in two separate timelines, one in 1915 in the midst of WWI and the other 1947 just after the end of WWII. You knew that these two storylines would eventually entwine, but it was masterfully done.
1915 - I enjoyed this read, even as it was hard at times. I felt for Eve and everything she was going through during the war, I loved her determination to be more, to help her country. She has a backbone of steel. I loved her relationship with Lilli and you could feel the pressure on them all as the Alice Network worked to undermine the Germans any way they could. They lived in such a pressure cooker and were left with awful choices many times over.
On the other side in 1947 - the embittered Eve is almost a different person after everything she suffered. She has no patience and very little will to live anymore. The youthful innocence of Charlie arriving on her doorstep determined to find her missing cousin isn't what she is looking for. I adored Charlie. I loved her finding her strength over the course of her search. She realizes how much of backbone she herself has. I enjoyed watching her get under the skin of both the bitter, damaged war time characters of Eve and Finn.
This story was told wonderfully bouncing between the two characters, Eve's perspective in the past, and Charlie's in the present. All the new information is slowly handed out to us as the hidden becomes revealed over time. This is a relatively slow build of a story. But that time really builds the bond growing between these characters. I'm always reluctant to read WWII stories as you know they're going to be dark and hard to read. This has its' moments of that, but I adored finding out more about the real world efforts of such accomplished and amazing women as those in the Alice Network. They were true heroes in the war and more should be known about them....more

While this isn't my favorite oSo finally getting around to reading the conclusion to this series makes me happy. I really do love T.J. Klune writing. While this isn't my favorite of his novels, or even my favorite in this series it does bring everything to a satisfying conclusion tying up the little loose threads and culminating in the big battle against the expected enemy.
This was a little slow to start for me, and while I do appreciate the social justice and police issues that are being brought up in this novel, it did feel a little heavy handed at times. That being said I do love, and will forever love Nick. I just love his wacky ADHD brain and the no filter that exists for him. Dad Squad for life! This story is made all the better for the cast of supporting characters around our Extraordinaries. Seth and Nick may have the special powers, but they're amazing because they have such close friends and family.
It had been awhile since I read the first two books in this series so the beginning of this story did throw me for a second. I was worried I was mixing up stories or something, but it quickly became apparent that no I wasn't misremembering things, something sinister was going on. Getting to the point where the team gets clued in was the part that dragged for me, after things definitely started to click along at a much faster pace and I was in for the ride.
I'm happy to finally have completed this series. T.J. Klune never fails to make me smile....more

God this series...as I'm reading I'm thinking, this is going to go badly, I just know it's going to, and when it does I'm going to end up hating this book. And yet Fredrik Backman does such a masterful job of weaving his stories, even when everything goes bad, like you knew it would, you still can't help but love the book. His writing style is so superb I'm drawn in everytime. This community feels so real and the people in it like the neighbors I grew up with in my own small town.
It's Beartown and thus the center of everything is still and will always be hockey. But right now the Beartown Bears are in danger of losing their program completely and having it forcibly moved to rival Hed. Bring in one greedy, manipulative, little shit of a politician and sure maybe there's still a chance for them to keep their team...but at what cost?
This story has all the angst and tension of the first book, though not quite the pain maybe... I don't know it's hard to describe what felt different about this one for me. We're dealing with a lot of the aftermath of one child's bad action. One horribly bad action that has caused a cavalcade of troubles spawning from that one moment, that one choice. And now it's led to pitting two towns against each other and a lot of anger and violence getting stirred up because of it.
There's a lot of tension and build up in this story as things come down a collision course between Hed and Beartown's hockey teams. This isn't just two teams on the ice, it's two desperate towns fighting for their own survival and clashing bitterly in the middle.
I'm very curious to see where this series will conclude when the English language version of the third book in the trilogy comes out in the fall. ...more
I have avoided reading this book for years as I was so sure it was going to be heart-wrenching and devastating. And while yes, what happened to MalalaI have avoided reading this book for years as I was so sure it was going to be heart-wrenching and devastating. And while yes, what happened to Malala is both of those things as well as horrific and detestable, the story itself is filled with so much hope. I was so surprised by Malala's voice, how much hope and passion she has for the future. This is a young woman, not defined by what has happened to her, but by her convictions and passion for women's education. I loved how she spoke about her country. For as much as Pakistan and the surrounding area are in our lives for all of the things she stands against, she made me want to visit and see the areas she spoke about.
Malala is an incredible girl, and I'm sure at this point is growing up to be an incredible woman. She is willing to fight and speak out about the things that are wrong in this world. I loved that she has such a care for her country and her religion, recognizing the parts of it that are corrupted and stating just that. It is a corruption of the ideals of both. She truly believes in the good heart underneath those who would use it for their own advancement. ...more

I enjoyed this story just like I did the first couple in the series. There were a few moments though where I almost had to walk away for a little bit as I would get annoyed or frustrated with how much Sieh was changing or getting stuck in his frustration. But then the story kept building and building and I'd get sucked right back in. There is so much about growth and forgiveness in this story. Everyone's been so damaged since the events of the Gods War and there's a lot of healing that all of these characters needed to do. I appreciated that it wasn't easy or immediate for any of the characters, there was too much history for that.
Ultimately this was a really satisfying conclusion to this trilogy. I felt for the characters in this one a lot. There was so much going on with them emotionally. Change was going to happen, but no one expected the devastation that was to come. The big twist in this story wasn't too hard to figure out, but the conclusion definitely got to me. The complicated relationship between Shahar, Deka, and Sieh always kept things interesting. I actually really liked Deka. He was probably the most comfortable in his own skin of anyone in the story.
I'm really glad I read this trilogy. I'll definitely have to check out other books by the author. ...more
