Summer's Crossing by Julie Kagawa

Summer's Crossing by Julie Kagawa

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again, Kagawa has left me thoroughly stricken! It's amazing how much story she fit into this itsy-bitsy novella, but not once was I overwhelmed. I loved reading from Puck's perspective. I missed the hot and steamy Meghan/Ash yummy's, but Goodfellow's snark, passion and creativity more than sated my hunger for Iron Fey.
Summer's Crossing ignites with Ash and Puck searching for Meghan. Early on (really, before they even embark) Leanansidhe cashes in the favor Ash promised, sending him straight into Summer Court to steal back her "toy" from Queen Titania. Wow, what an adventure ensues! My heart bled for Puck and the emotional torment he endures because of his love for Meghan. We also get Puck's side of the story regarding the tragedy that destroyed his friendship with Ash so long ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the plot twists and scandals Kagawa flawlessly spun into 70-ish pages, you will be too.
This is great as a stand-alone story, but better as a teaser for those of us hopelessly addicted to the Iron Fey.
If you'll excuse me, I need to search for a 12-step group to recover from this before I get lost for good. It's kinda like dancing to faerie music...I couldn't stop if I wanted to!

Illusions by Aprilynne Pike

2011-05-15T13:59:00.002-04:00

Illusions by Aprilynne Pike

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Illusions starts out a few months after the closing events of Spells. Laurel's relationships with David and her parents are great, she's doing the normal high-school thing and is happy and focused. Until Tamani arrives at school posing as a Foreign Exchange student alongside a strange new girl that is definitely not human. Insecurity, guilt and fear bombard Laurel as she tries to ignore her resurfacing feelings for Tamani.
My opinion...
I love that Aprilynne jumped right into the storyline, rather than spending chapter after chapter reintroducing characters and recapping plot lines. Unfortunately it's been a looong time since I read Spells and I found myself rather lost at times trying to remember things such as what the Winter Fey powers are, the specifics of Klea's and Tamani's departures, etc. This was still a great book, but if you haven't recently read Wings and Spells, you will not appreciate Illusions to the fullest extent.
Tamani's romance is hotter and swoon-worthy, regardless whom it's directed towards ;), but the rest of the relationships are kind-of blah. This makes Tamani ultimately steal all the focus from Laurel, which I don't think was intended. I love Laurel, I love her conflict and personality, but she was dry in this one.
The ending was predictable, but hardcore, nonetheless. I did have to refer to Spells to fully grasp the weight of the twist, but that may just be my own memory short-comings. I would love to hear whether these problems arise with other readers.
Overall, I enjoyed Illusions. Better than Spells, not as great as Wings. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Thanks to Around the World Tours for sharing the ARC!

Spring has Sprung Giveaway

2011-04-15T08:11:00.001-04:00

I have been noticing a lack of giveaways around the blogosphere recently and wanted to do a quickie. I have some awesome bookmarks and stickers from Class of 2k11 that are desperately seeking the love and attention only you can provide (sorry, Humane Society moment there). I want to keep this simple, so just leave a comment with your favorite (so far) or most anticipated debut for 2011, any genre. Include your email so I can give you the good news, too. I'll pick 5 winners for swag, and 1 grand-prize winner for a $ 10 gift card for Borders. Contest ends Good Friday (4/22) and you must be a follower to win. Thanks for playing!

Apologies

2011-04-08T08:28:00.001-04:00

I wanted to apologize for the lack of content and explain to all of you my dysventure (a new word?) trying to fix an issue with Blogger's insubordination yesterday. Every damn key stroke threw the page into a "Not Responding" vortex which exacerbated my frustrations and I finally gave-up. The machine won. I caved. I spent the evening avoiding my computer and am posting this from my phone. Hooray for Apps that do more than just make me late... Speaking if which I need to go to work. Thanks for understanding and I promise it won't happen again.
