The gods gave us powers because we were born to rule. I was DYING to read this book ever since I heard about it, because I love Marie’s world building and the idea sounded awesome. Then, some not-so-great reviews started trickling in. I lowered my expectations. But, I still had hope, because I can’t imagine it being bad if it was written by Marie Lu. The result? I was blown away! The first thing you need to know is that […]
I enjoyed re-reading this series so, SO much, and I’m sad that it has to come to an end! I’d forgotten how easy it was to be consumed by this world. It’s so unique and complex! Sara Douglass has truly created a world like no other, and perhaps that’s why this series stuck with me after 10 long years. I know it will stick with me for years to come, as well! Holy crap, there’s so much death in this […]
I had forgotten how….disturbing the TimeKeeper Demons were! Holy crap, some of the parts made me cringe so hard. But there were a lot of other grotesque and disturbing things that I hadn’t remembered. There are some pretty unsavory things in this story. But that’s not really a bad thing, because if Demons were ravaging the world, isn’t that what one would expect? Douglass brought them to life in their terrifying and monstrous nature. I found that I still remembered […]
This book moves into the second story arc of the series. You can tell that it was originally supposed to be a trilogy – by itself, the first three books are a complete story. But, unlike some series that continue after they were supposed to stop, it doesn’t feel like beating a dead horse. Like they were squeezing all the life they possibly could get out of the series. It’s just a new story line! It’s 40 years into the future, […]
I don’t think I can ever say this enough: I LOVE THIS SERIES. I love it so much! It was awesome to read these books again and revisit one of my favorite worlds. I loved seeing the first story arc come to a close again. I looked forward to the journey that Axis and Azhure took in finding themselves, but also dreaded the final battle between Axis and Gorgrael. I think I said it already, but Faraday is one of […]
Oh my gosh, I love this series so much!! Going through this story the second time was just as enjoyable as the first, except this time around I knew all of the secrets. It was hard, though, to watch the downward spiral of some of the characters. I know the outcome, and even though I dreaded what would inevitably happen, I still wished it could be different. I was surprised by how much my stomach was in knots as the […]
