FOR A MUSE OF FIRE captured my attention--and held it--with its unique magic and believable characters. Jetta contends with family secrets and the horrors of war. The novel pulls no punches and is all the stronger for it. Many readers will no doubt love the letters, telegrams, and p...
The initial set-up of the book was pretty confusing. There is a lot of terminology and a lot of people to keep track of. Although I liked the mash-up of French words in an Asian-style setting, I did find the storyline behind this blurry and odd, at times. I just couldn't connect wit...

FOR A MUSE OF FIRE captured my attention--and held it--with its unique magic and believable characters. Jetta contends with family secrets and the horrors of war. The novel pulls no punches and is all the stronger for it. Many readers will no doubt love the letters, telegrams, and p...
The initial set-up of the book was pretty confusing. There is a lot of terminology and a lot of people to keep track of. Although I liked the mash-up of French words in an Asian-style setting, I did find the storyline behind this blurry and odd, at times. I just couldn't connect wit...
Actual rating: 3.3 - 3.5 ish? It's right in the middle of a "That was okay, I guess" and a "well, that was fun" rating. I don't know if it's just me but there was a lot to process when it comes to this story. For starters, the pacing was a bit more like an "up-down situation", where...

The cover art is good, the title is good, the novel is not so good. There is a spark of potential that needs to be exploited in subsequent books in the series. ...
Welcome to the fourth in my series of reviews of ARCs for which I traded this August, and for sure one of the best, brightest, and most unique new books of the year! Heidi Heilig impressed me a great deal with her first duology, The Girl from Everywhere and The Ship Beyond Time. Now, s...
DNF @ 62% I?ve been pretty good about not DNF?ing this year but I just can?t get into this story. It may be the format (audiobook) but I just can?t connect with the story or world building. I may try this in physical format one day but for now it?s a no. ...
?Never show, Never tell.? Okay, before i start the official review, i wanted to know: didn?t that line remind you of Frozen? Just me? That?s fine. I have a feeling a lot of you are going to like this book, and that?s good. Personally I am really not sure about my feeling...

FOR A MUSE OF FIRE captured my attention--and held it--with its unique magic and believable characters. Jetta contends with family secrets and the horrors of war. The novel pulls no punches and is all the stronger for it. Many readers will no doubt love the letters, telegrams, and p...
The initial set-up of the book was pretty confusing. There is a lot of terminology and a lot of people to keep track of. Although I liked the mash-up of French words in an Asian-style setting, I did find the storyline behind this blurry and odd, at times. I just couldn't connect wit...
Actual rating: 3.3 - 3.5 ish? It's right in the middle of a "That was okay, I guess" and a "well, that was fun" rating. I don't know if it's just me but there was a lot to process when it comes to this story. For starters, the pacing was a bit more like an "up-down situation", where...

I have discovered that I have a nasty of habit of procrastinating when I don?t have all the books in my TBR in my disposal, because I still didn?t have Shadow of the Fox, my reading time for this one was longer than expected. But after I got Shadow of the Fox, I breezed through thi...
