Historia
Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells "small" fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…

A lighthearted, cozy read and equally enjoyable listen! While the characters are well rounded with complex and at times sad backstories the overall tone, for me, comfortably falls into ‘cozy book’ territory.

Historia
Thara Celehar has lost his ability to speak with the dead. When that title of Witness for the Dead is gone, what defines him? While his title may be gone, his duties are not. Celehar contends with a municipal cemetery with fifty years of secrets, the damage of a revethavar he’s terrified to remember, and a group of miners who are more than willing to trade Celehar’s life for a chance at what they feel they’re owed. Celehar does not have to face these impossible tasks alone.

Perfection!
Revisado: 03-19-25
I was nervous to read how the stories of Thara Celehar would conclude, especially after the events of The Grief of Stones, but this is an extremely satisfying finale. Addison continues to deliver unexpected adventure, new companions, and the background tension of political upheaval. It’s a brilliant book!

Great Readers, Meh for Romance
Revisado: 02-14-25
While I appreciate what Karen Hawkins was going for with the sister Ella Dove and I enjoyed many aspects of her story I wasn’t a fan of this tale, especially in comparison to the other Dove Pond novels and novellas.
<SPOILER>
Ella has a travel itch, but more than that she’s seen and felt firsthand how much it hurts to loose someone you love. I feel like Hawkins’ insistence of a happily ever after pairing negates that very real trauma. For some people being alone is the right choice, and the way this was written it felt like the ‘magic’ decided Ella’s fate WAY before she was actually ready. That forced growth really rubbed me the wrong way. That being said, I wouldn’t be bothered by it if Hawkins wasn’t an excellent writer.

Well Read, but Predictable
Revisado: 02-07-25
It was a decent listen, the narrator is good, but the story was fairly predictable. Anyone who has read Paula Brackston can guess how this one will go.

Revisado: 12-30-24
The world sounded really interesting when I heard about this, but the AI Narration is horrible and after the first book it became clear this is 2/3 smut to 1/3 story. It’s decently written, so if spicy is your thing give this a try, but if you’re looking for more story than sex this isn’t a good choice.

While I admit I like the first book best (so far at least! Apparently there will be at least four in the series!) this is an excellent sequel that brings in new characters, dilemmas, and of course a plethora of puns!

Historia
Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one. He’s the headmaster of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there. Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth.

Beautiful Sequel!
Revisado: 09-14-24
This gave glimpses into the history of Arthur, which I was desperately craving when I finished House in the Cerulean Sea, but is a true sequel to the story. I was worried about where the story would go because HitCS felt complete, but this continues the adventure in an honest, heartfelt, devastatingly realistic (politically), and optimistic way. There are so many real people who feel powerless and stories like this show what a difference we can each make in shaping a loving and accepting world.
Have to say, I liked reading the book more than listening to the audiobook. The narrator opted for distinct character voices that makes it VERY noticeable when a mix up occurs. There were four or five moments that really should have been re-recorded…I know I’m being persnickety, my only defense is I found it truly distracting.

Brilliant!
Revisado: 09-10-24
This story is brilliantly written, with such engaging characters. The depth and, over time, development Klune illustrates makes the characters real.
A heads up I wish I had before reading: this is a heavy novel. Though a fantasy, it parallels the cultural genocide of Native Americans through forced schooling in the late 1800s.

Meh…
Revisado: 09-05-24
If you want a dystopian war fantasy on in the background this is a decent choice. I like that the full series is included.
The overall plot is fairly predictable and the characters are one dimensional, but the pace is quick. The story stays on track without tangents or fluff.
The narrator’s pronunciation was a little odd at times, but otherwise unremarkable.

Delightful!
Revisado: 06-19-24
A compelling start a new series! A sheltered princess strikes out for independence without a clue which path she wants to tread. Her journey will lead her to delicious new experiences and dangerous political maneuverings.
As a personal note, I deeply enjoy the causal inclusivity of the author. While Casey Blair does not shove social causes in her readers’ faces, she built a realistic (in this regard, less so on the magic front) world where people are fundamentally Human. The Othering society is so prone to is acknowledged and rejected through the eyes of our Princess. It’s beautiful and deeply fulfilling.
