This is the third and concluding volume in a trilogy. I’m not sure I can actually review it without spoiling some of the previous books, so if you haven’t read them, skip this for now. Do check out the previous two books, though, as they are YA fantasy at its best. Book 1, Daughter of Smoke and Bone is reviewed here, and book 2, Days of Blood and Starlight is here. I can also heartily recommend the companion novella Night of Cake and Puppets for those who have read the first […]
“Find Tom! Please! Tell him you saw Lizzie Hexam!”
This trade paperback of The Unwritten collects issues 42-49 of the comic. It’s been going for years now and is really quite heavily arc-based, so I wouldn’t start with this one.

Standard disclaimer about possible spoilers for earlier books in review, just so no one can say they weren’t warned. Tommy Taylor discovers that Lizzie is not lost, she’s just trapped in the Underworld, and […]

This trade paperback volume of Saga collects issues 13-18. It’s an ongoing series, and you really should be starting at the beginning.

Also, it goes without saying that there may be spoilers here for earlier in the series. Marko’s mother has decided to join her son and his new family on their quest to find […]
A Victorian romance with depression, theft and blackmail attempts
Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC of this from Pocket Books through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review. I should also add that by the time I was granted the ARC, I’d already bought the book in pre-order, because with one horrible exception, she writes awesome books, and is on my automatic pre-order list. Once again, the cover image has little to nothing to do with the contents of the book, although the cover model is at least a redhead, like the heroine. I don’t think […]
