Week 1 Review: Nobody's Prize

From Goodreads:
In this rousing sequel to Nobody's Princess, young Helen of Sparta is not about to be left behind when her older brothers head off to join the quest for the Golden Fleece. Accompanied by her friend Milo, and disguised as a boy herself, Helen sets out to join the crew of heroes aboard the massive ship known as The Argo. 

Helen quickly faces all sorts of danger. There are battles to be fought, as well as an encounter with a terrifying murderous princess. With her beauty blossoming, Helen's journey takes her beyond the mythology of the Golden Fleece to Athens, where her very future as Queen of Sparta is threatened.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! There were hard parts to read, and some really great parts, but when it all came together, it was just really great! Struggles, triumphs, and just plain growing up, all featured in this book!

Loved that she wanted to go on the trip with her brothers on The Argo with Jason, and how she starts having her period, which brings about the end of her pretending to be a guy. And that princess that she meets, well, she's a bit crazy! So glad that worked out in the end!

I just don't see how she goes on to marry the guy, after all, how he treated that guy with over the mirror, that was really horrible, and that kind of character flaw, well, it doesn't go away easily, and seeing that he was nobility, he didn't have any reason to actually work on it!

I still don't know how this Helen could grow to be the Helen that inspired that war. Sure, she's grow up since the last book, and will continue to grow, but with a war like that, she'd still do something, and while I know hardly anything about the war (like it's name) I don't think that Helen did anything except be the one that they fought over. Yeah. But that is a plus on the book's side!

Enjoyed this book so freaking much, so good! Now I just want more of the overarching Princesses of Myth series!

Week 52 Review: Nobody's Princess

From Goodreads:
She is beautiful, she is a princess, and Aphrodite is her favorite goddess, but something in Helen of Sparta just itches for more out of life. Not one to count on the gods—or her looks—to take care of her, Helen sets out to get what she wants with steely determination and a sassy attitude. That same attitude makes Helen a few enemies—such as the self-proclaimed "son of Zeus" Theseus—but it also intrigues, charms, and amuses those who become her friends, from the famed huntress Atalanta to the young priestess who is the Oracle of Delphi.

In Nobody's Princess, author Esther Friesner deftly weaves together history and myth as she takes a new look at the girl who will become Helen of Troy. The resulting story offers up adventure, humor, and a fresh and engaging heroine you cannot help but root for.

My Review:
Really fantastic book! I loved reading about Helen, though this girl? I don't know how she's going to grow to be Helen of Troy, who was the one that they fought over, not someone who would so do something. And this girl seems like she'd do something!

Loved Helen's attitude towards life, going full force after it, not sitting there and letting it happen to her. Gets her into a few situations, but yeah, she is a princess, who's going to be Queen, which gives her a bit of privilege!

These characters were awesome, what they did, was really great! Like when the greeter guy before the Oracle said something to her brothers along the lines of their inheritance, and their were horrified and angry, because in their royal family, Helen is to inherit-they'd only inherit if something happened to her. Of course, I'm sure the guy didn't know that, because it's not the common practice. But, oh, well! That was them being great overprotective and sweet brothers!

Just love the mix of history and fact, and entertaining book that this book, and this series, and all books that I've read by Esther Friesner, are! It's just what makes these books special, and so great to read! Loved it!

Such a great book, I really need to read more!

Week 52 Review: Ash

From Goodreads:
Cinderella retold

In the wake of her father's death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, rereading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.

The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King's Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash's capacity for love-and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.

Entrancing, empowering, and romantic, Ash is about the connection between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.

My Review:
I had to read this book! It's set in the same world as Huntress, and I just enjoyed that so much, that I just had to! And I recently bought a copy of it at the library discard sale, which made things just really awesome, reading my own copy!

This is a Cinderella retelling. But a retelling, with things totally different. Like Sidhean, a fairy, that's basically been grooming her to want to come with him. And that she falls in love with the Huntress, instead of the prince. Great, original and unique changes! Loved it!

So Ash isn't as mistreated as the original Cinderella, but she pretty much is ignored, and lived a pretty solitary existence. Which is why Kaisa was such a fantastic character! I enjoyed reading about them, but it was just really special!

I think that Ash made the right decision, not Sidhean, but Kaisa, it was a hard choice, choosing the unfamiliar, but choosing what was right for her, it made for a really great ending! I just enjoyed it so much!

Such a great book, and yeah that I own a copy now!

Week 51 Review: Chime

From Goodreads:
Before Briony's stepmother died, she made sure Briony blamed herself for all the family's hardships. Now Briony has worn her guilt for so long it's become a second skin. She often escapes to the swamp, where she tells stories to the Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes. But only witches can see the Old Ones, and in her village, witches are sentenced to death. Briony lives in fear her secret will be found out, even as she believes she deserves the worst kind of punishment.

Then Eldric comes along with his golden lion eyes and mane of tawny hair. He's as natural as the sun, and treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change. As many secrets as Briony has been holding, there are secrets even she doesn't know.

My Review:
This is one of the best books read of 2012! I enjoyed it so freaking much, it was so fantastic, everything about it! Such a great book, one that I'm really glad that I read, and one that I thought about after I was finished!

This world of witches, and burning them, and the Old Ones, it was different, and it was historical, which gave it another edge, some more building into what the world was, building it into the world that I loved reading about!

It wasn't obvious from the synopsis, but this book was pretty hilarious! I loved Briony's voice, because even though all she's been through, or maybe because of it, she has this very strong, definitive voice that I absolutely loved!

Then there were the quirks. I loved the quirks of this book, they were interesting and weird, and just an absolutely pleasure to read about! They sometimes didn't make sense, but they did bring little things together, and that was so great!

This really was a really great book, and I just really loved it so much!

His Black Wings: Review

From Goodreads:
Claren Maidstone has been forced to flee her childhood home after the death of her parents and a vicious assault from a sadistic young man who intends to marry her. Claren changes her identity and finds employment as an assistant to the handsome Fredrick Lowood, a generous yet mysterious benefactor. However, she soon finds out his generosity comes at a price. Fredrick wishes for Claren to befriend his disfigured son who resides in seclusion at their estate, Westwind.

Fredrick Lowood knows what the history books do not teach, that the Grand Council built this new world of peace and beauty on hidden blood and greed. He has plotted for years to bring down the family that enslaved his own people. Suddenly, he has the last living heir in his grasp.

Etrigan Lowood rejects the world that forces him to hide. He is powerful, plagued with a terrible dark beauty: WINGS. It is these wings that carry him out only at night to watch the unwanted intruder in his home. A creature of refined instinct yet little social grace, he is strangely captivated by Claren but knows nothing of how her family's dark past is intertwined with his own. Through their blossoming friendship, Etrigan realizes he still retains his human heart and yearns for Claren's love.

Kurten Wandsworth is the only son of the Mayor of St. Marhen. Kurten lives his life fueled by cruelty and lust. Whatever he wants he takes and he wants Claren to be his wife even it if kills her. Scarred by Claren he hunts her down mercilessly until he can set a trap which she will never be able to escape from.

My Review:
I enjoyed reading this book a lot! I loved the relationship between Claren and Etrigan. It was really great, though I do wish that their names weren't so weird that spell check didn't like them! Their story was one that I wanted to read!

So Claren has had a hard time in life. And then she gets roped into befriending her benefactor's son. But a) her benefactor has a secret agenda that wasn't positive for her. And b) she falls in love with him. Which was pretty sweet!

I really loved that ending, going on their honeymoon, being confronted by Kursten, the evil dude, and then showing him his place, that was a really satisfying ending, and I loved reading it! Great ending to a really great book!

And then there was at the ending, the whole "another story for later" well, yeah, I would really love to get that story! Because we hardly got why this world was the way it was, really why Etrigan had wings,  so I would really, really, really love to have more!

I enjoyed this book so much, it was really awesome and great!

Week 50 Review: Sphinx's Queen

From Goodreads:

Hunted . . . Overnight, every aspect of Nefertiti's life has changed. She is no longer living at the royal palace as the intended bride of the crown prince. Instead, she is being chased by the prince and his soldiers for a crime she did not commit.

Hidden . . . Traveling with two of her dearest friends, including the crown prince's brother, who helped her escape, Nefertiti takes shelter in the wild hills along the Nile’s west bank. She must rely on her own resourcefulness and skills (all those secret archery lessons prove very useful) as the fugitives fight to survive.

Haunted . . . But the need for justice gnaws at Nefertiti. She is determined to plead her case to the Pharaoh and set things right. As she begins to question long-held sacred beliefs—a questioning that could alter the fabric of Egyptian society—her extraordinary journey from commoner to royalty brings adventure, intrigue, and romance.

My Review:

So fantastic! This was a perfect sequel to Sphinx's Princess, and I just loved everything about it! Though Nefertiti is much stronger then I could ever be! In more ways then one, and she demonstrates this in this book!

I'm still burning over the unfairness that is Thutmose accusing Nefertiti unjustly of committing the crime, and then he beats them to the Pharaoh, which makes pleading her case harder. But in the end, things work out there!

Amenophis is just as perfect as he was in the last book, if not more so! Which is then countered with the change in Thutmose in this book. He was pretty horrible in the last book, but in this one, he was nicer, so it was sad when he died. But I'm not sure that I could've forgiven him like Nefertiti did!

Yes, there's hardship in this book. But there's also friends made-like Thutmose when they were doing those running courses-and other good things. And while the ending of Thutmose's death, and the fact that Amenophis is to be Pharaoh, and Nefertiti is going to marry him, well, that counters the sadness!

Such a great book, and now there's just the Helen of Troy Princess Duology!

Week 50 Review: The Unfailing Light

From Goodreads:
Having had no choice but to use her power has a necromancer to save Russia from dark forces, Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, now wants to forget that she ever used her special powers. She's about to set off to pursue her lifelong dream of attending medical school when she discovers that Russia's arch nemesis--who she thought she'd destroyed--is still alive. So on imperial orders, Katerina remains at her old finishing school. She'll be safe there, because the empress has cast a potent spell to protect it against the vampires and revenants who are bent on toppling the tsar and using Katerina for their own gains. But to Katerina's horror, the spell unleashes a vengeful ghost within the school, a ghost more dangerous than any creature trying to get in.

My Review:
Oh, I absolutely loved being in this world again! And their romance! And the mystery of who the girl is, and then that her powers are not quite in control! Oh, and that George is in Paris, and may or may not have been betrayed. Yeah.

Things happen in this book, like Katerina is kept in Russia, in safety, even though she wanted to go and learn to be a doctor, but since she's the only one who can some the bogatar, and that the bad guys could use her, so she had to be protected in Russia. Which sucks for her!

I was confused in how the order that was magical fit into the one that was talked about in the first one, and for a while I thought that it was a separate thing, but they weren't, so now I'm confused. But yeah, it's something that I'm getting used to feeling in reading this series!

Oh, Danilo. You came so close to being redeemed, and then you broke it all to pieces by actually  being part of the group that Katerina wanted you to stop! And that the ritual was to cut out a heart? Not cool, people, you're supposed to be the good guys! At least it ended out ok!

Really enjoyed this book, and yeah, can't wait to read more!!

Week 49 Review: Sphinx's Princess

From Goodreads:
Nefertiti was far more than just a pretty face.

Nefertiti may be the dutiful daughter of a commoner, but her inquisitive mind often gets her into situations that are far from ordinary, like receiving secret lessons from a scribe. And she's the kind of girl who acts first, and apologizes later whenever she witnesses injustice or cruelty. But she is also extraordinarily beautiful. And news of her striking beauty and impulsive behavior attracts the attention of her aunt, the manipulative Queen Tiye, who sees Nefertiti as an ideal pawn in her desire for power. Even though Nefertiti is taken from her beloved family and forced into a life filled with courtly intrigue and danger, her spirit and mind will not rest. She continues to challenge herself and the boundaries of ancient Egyptian society.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! I loved Spirit's Princess, so I had to check the others out, and this one was the next one I found, and yeah, I'm so glad (because while I'm not reading these in publishing order, I'm going on order of least known, to most!) because this was just an epic book!

Nefertiti, well, she's strong willed, and that gets her into problems. But she's also smart, which usually gets her out of them. Except that the problem of her Aunt, Queen Tiye, it wasn't her personality that got her in trouble, but her beauty.

The downsides are being taken away from her family, maybe to never see them again, her aunt, her betrothed, and her isolation. The upside is her cousin, brother to her betrothed, who was a much better guy them him!

And then there's that ending! Just really need to know what's going to happen next, because that Thutmose accused her of crime she didn't commit, and that with Amenophis, she's going on the run, to the Pharaoh, to tell him about it? Yeah, can someone say cliffhanger?

Such a great book, and I just enjoyed it so much!

Week 49 Review: A Breath of Eyre

From Goodreads:
In this stunning, imaginative novel, Eve Marie Mont transports her modern-day heroine into the life of Jane Eyre to create a mesmerizing story of love, longing, and finding your place in the world... Emma Townsend has always believed in stories-the ones she reads voraciously, and the ones she creates. Perhaps it's because she feels like an outsider at her exclusive prep school, or because her stepmother doesn't come close to filling the void left by her mother's death. And her only romantic prospect-apart from a crush on her English teacher-is Gray Newman, a long-time friend who just adds to Emma's confusion. But escape soon arrives in an old leather-bound copy of Jane Eyre...

Reading of Jane's isolation sparks a deep sense of kinship. Then fate takes things a leap further when a lightning storm catapults Emma right into Jane's body and her nineteenth-century world. As governess at Thornfield, Emma has a sense of belonging she's never known-and an attraction to the brooding Mr. Rochester. Now, moving between her two realities and uncovering secrets in both, Emma must decide whether her destiny lies in the pages of Jane's story, or in the unwritten chapters of her own...

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! It was a bit off kilter for me, that things didn't quite mesh, but I did enjoy reading it! The idea of basically living things from pretty famous novels-or being insane, well, that's pretty interesting idea!

I really enjoyed watching Jane go through this journey, it wasn't an easy one, or a fun one, but it was a pretty necessary one, and while it's a series, which means that there's going to more conflict, I enjoyed where this book ended.

There was uncertainty over what was real and what wasn't. Because there was a lightning strike involved, and that can mess with a person's head in more ways then one. And as Emma navigates that, it was really fantastic to read!

I think that she made the right choice, to chose the real world, vs. the book world, and while I know that it's a series, and there's more conflict coming, well, it ends in a really good place, a rest for the characters before they go off again!

I enjoyed this book so much, it was so entertaining and great, and I can't wait to read more of the series!

Week 48 Review: The Unnaturalists

From Goodreads:
In an alternate London where magical creatures are preserved in a museum, two teens find themselves caught in a web of intrigue, deception, and danger.

Vespa Nyx wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her life cataloging Unnatural creatures in her father's museum, but as she gets older, the requirement to become a lady and find a husband is looming large. Syrus Reed's Tinker family has always served and revered the Unnaturals from afar, but when his family is captured to be refinery slaves, he finds that his fate may be bound up with Vespa's—and with the Unnaturals.

As the danger grows, Vespa and Syrus find themselves in a tightening web of deception and intrigue. At stake may be the fate of New London—and the world.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! I enjoyed reading it so much, of this world with New London, and how it's different from our world, yeah, it was really fantastic to read! I enjoyed it so much! So yeah, that it's a series!

Told from Vespa and Syrus's POV's, we got to see more of what was going on, of the threads that were connecting everything, and maybe see where things might be going. Maybe. It was just a blast to read this book!

I found it so funny, that science was a religion, when they live in a magical world. Maybe because of it. But it just seems so bizarre, and strange, and just a part of this fascinating world that I want to know more about, which I can, seeing as it's a series!

This was really excellently plotted! Such wonderful twists, and such events that made this book unputdownable! I enjoyed it so much, and with that ending, and what was left open, well, I know that I'll be reading the sequel!

Such a fantastic book, and I can't wait for the sequel!

Week 46 Review: The Crown of Embers

From Goodreads:
Elisa is the hero of her country. She led her people to victory against a terrifying enemy, and now she is their queen. But she is only seventeen years old. Her rivals may have simply retreated, choosing stealth over battle. And no one within her court trusts her-except Hector, the commander of the royal guard, and her companions. As the country begins to crumble beneath her and her enemies emerge from the shadows, Elisa will take another journey. With a one-eyed warrior, a loyal friend, an enemy defector, and the man she is falling in love with, Elisa crosses the ocean in search of the perilous, uncharted, and mythical source of the Godstone's power. That is not all she finds. 

My Review:
Oh, this book! It was so good! And it went in a totally different direction-in the first book, Elisa learned, and grew, and started some big things. In this book, she took off from those big things, and yeah, things just kept going! I was utterly captivated! And Hector really proved to be something in this book! I loved the developing relationship between them!

I just loved all the scheming in this book! I mean, even though Elisa is the one that pushed back the bad guys with her plans, and her stone, some people don't want her to be the ruler, they want to take power. And finding out who is doing so, that's something to do!

Then there's Storm, who was an ambassador from their enemy, and then because of various things, started a little bit of a cult in the downtrodden of the city, a little underground city within the city. And yeah, he's pretty important in this book!

I loved that discovery, of all those stones there, and the power and all that, and then because Elisa is Elisa, she couldn't let Storm stay there trapped, and so now it's destroyed! She could've used the power to beat the bad guys, but she made the right choice!

I enjoyed this book so much, it was so good, and I can't wait for The Bitter Kingdom, it's going to be so good!

Week 45 Review: The Traitor's Smile

From Goodreads:
Eugenie de Boncoeur has fled the violence of the French Revolution to find sanctuary in England at the home of her cousin, Hetta. At first, the two girls find themselves at loggerheads: Hetta can't understand Eugenie's preoccupation with clothes and appearance, and scorns her politics. Soon, however, they are drawn together by a shared sense of danger, for across the Channel waits the vengeful Pale Assassin, determined to claim Eugenie for himself. With her brother's life at stake, how can she refuse his dreadful bargain? But it will mean sacrificing her chance of love and returning to Paris in the grip of the Terror. Eugenie must now decide her destiny - with or without Hetta's help.

My Review:
So this book, well, I didn't enjoy it as much, just like the previous book. And I don't know why I read this book, because I knew that I didn't like the previous book.  So it was just a really silly decision for me to read this book!

If I could've changed things, then I wouldn't have read this book. It was OK to read, but I just wasn't all that interested in what was happening, I didn't connect to the characters, and yeah, it pretty much was a waste of my reading time to read this book!

Some positives for those that would enjoy this book, would have to be the historical detail. I don't know how accurate they are, but those details are there, for others to like and to be brought into this world!

Another would have to be the mystery/romance, and dealing with having to come back to France, after all the trouble that they went to, to get out of France in the last book. That could've made this a lot better for me, but all the other things that I didn't like drowned it out!

This could've been a good book for me, but it wasn't. But I hope that it was for others!
