REVIEW: Cast in Peril by Michelle Sagara

JiaC ReviewsFantasy / Luna / Magic / Michelle West14 Comments

Dear Ms. Sagara, Longtime readers of DA know that I’m a dedicated fan of yours. If you publish a novel, it’s almost guaranteed that I’ll read it. I’ve followed your Elantra novels about Kaylin Neva since the very beginning. I can’t believe we’re already up to book 8! Time flies. ... more >

Dear Ms. Sagara, Ah, the peril of the long-running series. I knew in the back of my mind that your ongoing Elantra series consisted of many books but checking Amazon, I see that Cast in Ruin is book 7. This both surprises me and makes me wince. Surprise because I ... more >

REVIEW: House Name by Michelle West

JiaC Reviewsdemons / Fantasy Romance / Michelle Sagara / Michelle West / orphan13 Comments

Dear Ms. West, I fear my epic reading muscles must be atrophied. I realize I’ve been reading many young adult novels and paranormal/urban fantasies in recent months, but I think it’s warped my expectations for how long it should take me to finish a book! I’ve reviewed the Elantra novels ... more >
