Angela’s Monday Mornings
Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher Clocktaur War books 1 & 2 Fantasy Favorite Quote: "Would you like to go on a suicide mission?" she asked instead. He smiled. It was the first genuine smile she'd seen all day. "I would be honored," he said. I one-clicked both of these books after reading this blurb: A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Continue Reading

What I read this week: Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep Crown of Shards #1 Fantasy October 2, 2018 by Harper Voyager Favorite Quote: "Traitors always pay for their sins," I hissed.

This has been out for years, and for all those years I've seen people rave about it on Twitter, and I had it sitting in my TBR. And now I've read book one, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, and I'm halfway through book two, A Court of Mist and Fury, and I'm. In. Love. Book one starts maybe a tiny bit slow, and although I was ready to give it four solid star, when I hit the 70% mark (for those that have Continue Reading

Reckless. Unreliable. Raff Pineda has a certain reputation among the Animari. He’s the one to call if there’s a party starting, not the man to rely on when all hell breaks loose. Though he’s nominally the leader of the Pine Ridge pack, he defers to his second on the tough calls. Continue Reading
