The Fate of Ten by Pittacus Lore

Again, I am reviewing the end of a series, there will be series spoilers. I'll keep out spoilers for the book itself but can't promise I won't spill the beans on what's been happening up until now.

The series is steadily getting better now that the fight has truly begun. While New York City is being burned to the ground, Nine and Five are fighting to the death.  John misses his chance at Setrakus Ra yet again as the villain hightails it to the Sanctuary. Six, Seven, and Adam have been stranded in the jungle by an extreme trueborn zealot. Nothing is going right for anyone.

It all just seems like one large tragedy. All the plot twists that keep happening seriously keeps the pages turning, though. With all the bad luck that has happened, a few gems come from it. Ten is removed from the grasp of her great-grandfather, humans have Legacies to help the outnumbered Garde defend Earth, and the military has provided a safe haven for Four, Five, Six, Seven, Nine, and Ten to regroup.

Ten puts out a psychic call to all the newly activated human Garde to gather with them--debates on whether it is for their protection or to build an army. But of everything that happens, it's that ending. That ending. Now I really need to finish this series up and see what the heck goes down.

I'm such a Mopsies junkie!

All right, let's get back on track here. I have resettled from my vacation euphoria to one of the best countries on the globe, completed my interview for the book tour of two amazing authors, and settled in my inherited chickens. Yes, you read me correctly. I am now the proud owner of seven chickens of varying breeds. My neighbors are moving and did not plan on relocating the chickens with them, so I am now the proud mama hen. As my title states I'm such a Mopsies junkie. And, I also now have time to give you this wonderful review. A Lady of Spirit by Shelley Adina This go around we get to delve into the back story for the other half of the Mopsies, Maggie de Maupassant... or is it? You will have to read to find out.  While we once again get a  delicate braid of Lizzie's (and possibly Tigg's) and the Lady's story within Maggie's , each novel is completely unique to fit the very unique identity of the girls. While they may have grown up attached at the hi...

Ga-ga-ga-gas-Lit City

Welcome to February everyone. Hope you have all unburied from the snowmagedpocalypse readers in the Northeast. Just in time for some new powder to flurry down and send you back indoors to read my reviews on what to read to get you through the winter doldrums. Today we certainly have just that. The Custodian of Marvels by Rod Duncan And my world has been righted! We are back with Elizabeth Barnabus as she was in The Bullet-Catcher's Daughter. I'm all tingly. Not that Unseemly Science  was a complete let down; I just really feel that the magic (or circus dust?) wasn't there from the first novel. Apparently that is because it all built up and got swept to this novel.  We have the original troupe together for some Ocean's Eleven shenanigans as they attempt to rob the International Patent Office (gasp for dramatic effect). The humor and wit have returned to the original level because everyone knows all about best laid plans. While I like Julia, her relegation back to ...

The most mind-boggling book I've ever read

Image
... and the mind-boggled review to go with it. This book was the most unique reading experience I have ever had in decades of reading. Assassin Queen by Anna Kashina This week we have the final novel of the "Majat Code" trilogy. I previously reviewed the first and second novels and have read a short companion novella as well. Some may recall me raving about the first novel and being slightly disappointed about the turn of the second novel. The novella was more in tune with Blades of the Old Empire  and added to the hype for The Guild of Assassins . So with the letdown from the latter book, why did I get the third? More importantly, how did I feel about it? Redeemed and exacerbated. How can you feel both of those at once? That is the mystery of the third novel of the "Majat Code." There were some extremely awesome, butt-kicking scenes reminiscent of "Blades," and the romance from "Guild" was still included. I was excited and disappoint...
