No Sparkly Vampires or Helpless Females here.

I wasn’t going to read this book.  I have already declared a moratorium on post-apocalyptic trilogies starring plucky youngsters sprinkled in fairy dust that are the saviors of the entire world.  Especially since this is one of those series that is self-published on Amazon and included in the free Kindle library. But the other day I was looking for something fast paced and interesting and this one was free so I gave it a shot. It’s fairly obvious that the heroine, Penryn is modeled after […]

A safe space for spoilers

May 25, 2016 by alwaysanswerb 10 Comments

Just throwing this out there right off the bat… this review is gonna have spoilers in it. They will be unavoidable, and the entire review is going to assume that you have also read this book, because I need a safe space to discuss the ending and what that means retroactively about the series and for my feelings in general.
