This is a kid’s book (I read it in a about twenty minutes, so I wouldn’t even give it full YA status). And it’s surprisingly dark. This is the story of the Frog Prince, while he’s a frog. He meets up with a lady frog in the pond near the house of the hag that

I’m thoroughly enjoying the series about Mags and Amily – I’m so glad Lackey opened up a new period in Valdemar to write about. This latest series is a number of years after the events of the last – with Mags and Amily having had three children, and Sedric and Lydia taking over as King

I held onto this book longer than I really should have – I thought I was missing the book between the last one in this series I had read, and what I still had on hand, but I was wrong. So I could have read this at least a year ago. Oops. Temeraire and Laurence

This book has the same madcap dash through time that the first book in the series had. Loch’s crew is fresh off saving the world when another crisis is thrown at them – this time it’s a stolen book, at the same time the neighboring Empire just might throw its undead army at the Republic.

I don’t know what it was about this book, but I had the worst time getting into it. It’s taken me months to get through it. I did get through it, because it’s actually a really interesting story, but I would put it aside for weeks at a time before I could get into it

This is an anthology of fairy tale retellings with a romantic bent. Like many anthologies, some are definitely better than others (I only gave up on one – it was so blatantly a rip off of the Disney version of that tale that I just couldn’t keep going). It was a good, light read for

This is companion book to the Kate Daniels series – it’s the story of her best friend, Andrea Nash, coming to terms with the fact that she’s been outed as a werehyena (and a beastkin werehyena at that). There’s a companion Kate Daniels story at the back of the book that tells what’s going on
