Review: Sword and Shadow by Michelle Sagara

Posted on October 6, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Ahhh! I can’t believe the second novel in Wolves of Elantra is finally here! For those of you that don’t know, Wolves of Elantra is a spinoff series from the Chronicles of Elantra by Michelle Sagara. The series just so happens to follow my favorite character of the series, Severn Handred, and thus it is a treasure to me. And so here we are, with me hugging Sword and Shadow, the latest release.

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Over the last couple of months, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Siren Queen. Naturally, this meant that I just had to take some time to read it! It helps that I already adore Nghi Vo’s writing, of course. Continue reading →

Review: League of Liars by Astrid Scholte

Posted on September 29, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I have loved Astrid Scholte’s previous works and thus knew that I had to give League of Liars a chance. One thing that did surprise me – I didn’t realize that League of Liars was the start of a new series. I wish I had known that going in. For the record, I consider this a positive, not a negative.

Klune is the master at changing voices. Continue reading →

Review: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

Posted on September 17, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

A couple of months ago, I read my first novel by T. Kingfisher (Nettle & Bone, for those that are curious). I was instantly hooked. From that moment, I promised myself to try and snag the rest of her books, and thankfully my local library is willing to work with me on that count! First up on the list, we have A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, which is a delightful name. I can tell you that I enjoyed the book just as much as the title. Continue reading →

Review: Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs

Posted on September 12, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

It’s incredible how quickly one can get taken up in a story. I’ve been reading the Mercy Thompson series for years, yet it doesn’t feel that way. Soul Taken is the thirteenth installment in the series, and part of me hopes it’ll be far from the last. Continue reading →
