How do I give a book 6 stars? This is the sort of book that makes it hard to start reading anything else besides the sequel. What could live up to this? The prose is exquisite. Careful, economical word choice without coming off pretensious. The worldbu ...more |

A young Russian peasant girl struggles to learn witchcraft during the Nazi invasion of World War II in order to avenge her family. Honestly, I was totally hooked by the premise and the book delivers on its promises. The story soars on its unique broom ...more |

"I'll start by saying this is a really cool concept and the author included a lot of interesting Ukrainian folklore. Nadia is a compelling protagonist and her magic is always described vividly.
However, I think this definitely needed a second pass. Mo" Read more of this review » |

"Witch of the Winter Moon
This was such a good read. Some familiar history and witch lore, but with so many interesting takes on both. The characters were fascinating-even the ornery cat. It was a good blend of hardship and cleverness while discussing " Read more of this review » |

The Traitor Baru Cormorant (The Masquerade, #1):
"How do you talk about a book that has completely obliterated your capacity for language?
For days after I finished reading The Traitor Baru Cormorant, I searched in some cobwebbed closet of my memory for words that might convey the acuity of my feeli" Read more of this review » |

Memoir is a tricky genre. A memoir author must rapidly answer the question, "Why should I care about what you have to say?" But for this reader, Goldbach pulls it off. This book is not just about working at a steelmill, nor should it be. RUST is about ...more |

I didn't intend to read The Militia House; it ambushed me from a bookstore bargain shelf, and now I'm infected with its disease (Realistic military horror). The prose is clean, sparse, and direct. The horror is slow and methodical. The atmosphere is s ...more |

| This book is highly entertaining, but has a number of flaws that kept popping up to irritate me, mainly anachronistic politics and a protagonist who clearly knows a lot more science than the author, which creates some really awkward passages in the n ...more | |

A destitute, one-eyed thief with a big heart goes all in on the biggest heist of his life in this sensory, fantasy world in which people are stratified based on their ability to fly. Parks crafts a tactile and odorous fantasy world full of thieves, po ...more |

“I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they're going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there's going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don't know how many branches it's going to have, they find out as it grows. And I'm much more a gardener than an architect.”

“The thoughts of all men arise from the darkness. If you are the movement of your soul, and the cause of that movement precedes you, then how could you ever call your thoughts your own? How could you be anything other than a slave to the darkness that comes before?”
