Grace and Fury by Tracy Banghart My rating: 4 of 5 stars Honestly, I did not think I would like this book, but it turned out to completely captivate me. Mostly in the way that the two sisters absolutely frustrated me. I stubbornly kept reading only to see if either of the sisters would finally stand up, be smart and say ENOUGH. In the end, the sisters grew on me, especially Serina (favourite so far). Banghart threw in some great twists and took the story in a direction I did not expect. This is this first book I've read that deals heavily with women oppression and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I cannot wait for the next book to see how strong these sisters become and what obstacles they overcome. View all my reviews

Long May She Reign by Rhiannon Thomas My rating: 3 of 5 stars Overall a good book that certainly had it's ups and downs. If anything this book seems more like a starter for a series. Some parts were slow and other areas picked up with twists and excitement. I usually read books with obvious magic, where Long May She Reign as you can tell by the cover leans more on the scientific side. Which turned out to be refreshing. I enjoyed reading about Freya growing into the "Scientific Queen". Though the story left me unsatisfied, after watching her find herself the ending felt anticlimactic. The entire story was located in a castle of some sort, sure during the story, they moved from castle to fort, but there was not much of a change in scenery. The book just need not seem to expand. Plot-wise was good, again it felt like a story made to introduce you to the kingdom and its people. People were let go, feelings left unresolved and friendships possibly ending in the near futur...

Onyx and Ivory by Mindee Arnett My rating: 4 of 5 stars Perfect first book to a series and leaves the characters a lot of room to grow. I cannot wait for the next book to see how they all develop and find themselves. This is a great story about accepting yourself and others no matter their flaw or differences. Now that the heroine's powers are developing and she is maturing, she better start kicking ass. Definitely following this author and looking into more of her other series. View all my reviews
