Book entry 1 of 2
Jul. 6th, 2016 11:12 amWell, I haven't posted April, May or June books, so here goes.
Novels:
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. Amazing. The first word that comes to mind is gentle when I try to describe the prose or the appeal.
Chaos Choreography by Seanan McGuire. As always, Seanan McGuire provides a delightful romp.
Unbound by Jim Hines. Jim Hines is writing an ADD fanboy very well. And there's poly and queerness all over the place, but I'm starting to just want to punch the main character every time he speaks.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Came free with my Audible subscription, finally got around to listening. Not my cup of tea in many ways.
Hild by Nicola Griffith. Even more amazing than The Goblin Emperor. I cannot wait for more.
As with everything other other thing the man has written, I found Midnight Taxi Tango by Daniel Jose Older wicked compelling.
Attachments and Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell. While not as breathtaking as Fangirl, it was pretty amazing.
Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs. Exactly what it says on the tin, more Mercy Thompson candy.
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. Smug as fuck.
A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray. On the one hand, I devoured them. On the other hand, once again, I wanted to shake the protagonist, who was naive in a way I found very hard to digest.
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. Started slow, and the female protagonist wasn't all that sympathetic, but I really liked the male protagonist's struggles.
Poison, Beauty and Charm by Sarah Pinborough. I do love me some dark fairytales, and I appreciated the aesthetics of the books and the interleaving was impressive, but it felt like Angela Carter lite.
