Review: Kilingiri


Kilingiri
Kilingiri by Janna Gray

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



It's hard to express what I didn't like about this book, exactly, except that it felt like the narrative just went from tragedy to tragedy without enough emotional impact of each. It has what I call Party of Five syndrome - too many bad things happening to one family making the whole unbelievable. I did enjoy all the exotic settings.

Review: The Grrrl of Limberlost


The Grrrl of Limberlost
The Grrrl of Limberlost by Annie Pearson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This was okay. It took me something like a third of the book to really see what was going on - if I didn't have such long stretches of reading time right now and an anal need to finish all books started, I might have given up. But I did come to be interested enough in the main characters to enjoy the rest of the book.

Review: The Boy in the Suitcase


The Boy in the Suitcase
The Boy in the Suitcase by Lene Kaaberbøl

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I accidentally clicked on this on my Kindle while looking for something else, but it drew me in immediately. First, because the switching between the various characters without much information put me right into the story before I knew what was what and secondly, because I found the main character, Nina, intriguing. I hadn't realized it was the first in a series, but I look forward to the next one, especially since I read this one in half a day, between spurts of napping. This baby growing is tiring.

Review: The White Dragon

The White Dragon by Anne McCaffrey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Reread - April 2014 - I had forgotten how much I love this book in particular. It shifts the series significantly in a new direction and Jaxom is one of my favourite characters.

Review: Dragonflight

Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Reread - April 2014 - Clearly I haven't reread this part of the series as often as the Harper Hall ones because I wasn't quite as good at predicting what would be in the next chapter. Which I'm guessing is because it's a longer book, because I like Lessa just as much as Menolly.
