This is an intriguing twist on Snow White that shows how the "Evil Queen" became so evil through the quicksilver she uses to make mirrors. I like that this story was realistic--the quicksilver, the poison, everything was believable--no fantasy, no magic. That actually makes the story more terrifying because something like this could potentially happen!This is an intriguing twist on Snow White that shows how the "Evil Queen" became so evil through the quicksilver she uses to make mirrors.

I have taken a long hiatus from fantasy novels, because they start to read the exact same, but I was intrigued enough by the summary of this title that I decided to give it a chance, and I was pleasantly surprised. A teen girl that has been removed from her position of power by the Kaiser and kept as a hostage--beaten and tortured every time her people try to revolt. The Ash Princess definitely has a few things to learn about politics and men, but I think that was the point of this story--by the end of the book, she learns what is the most important to her, and she is ready to stand up and fight for it! Bad news...we have to wait for the sequel.I have taken a long hiatus from fantasy novels, because they start to read the exact same, but I was intrigued enough by the summary of this title that I decided to give it a chance, and I was pleasantly surprised.

A strong third book to this series--it's always a little difficult to catch up when there has been so much time between the publication of the sequels, but Tahir does a great job catching the reader up and referring to events in previous books. Laia becomes even more lovable, if that's possible, and her connection with the Blood Shrike is absolutely perfect! If you loved the first two books, this third one will not disappoint!A strong third book to this series--it's always a little difficult to catch up when there has been so much time between the publication of the sequels, but Tahir does a great job catching the reader up and referring to events in previous books. …

I love this strong female character that just wants to stand up and do the right thing in a clan where power has gone to the leader's head. Sound familiar? Willa is a lovable character with fun magical powers set in the 1900s when pioneers have begun to encroach on her territory. I love Willa's relationship with Nathaniel, and how even though her story doesn't end like she thought it would, she finds family and friends and her world expands rather than shrinks.I love this strong female character that just wants to stand up and do the right thing in a clan where power has gone to the leader's head.

Set thousands of years ago, this story follows a young gorilla living in Africa during the time of explosive volcanoes and the entrance of man. Snub is a sweet gorilla that just wants the attention of her mother, and when she ends up being the caregiver for her baby sister AND a young human, she has her work cut out for her. This is a beautiful story, written in verse, in a tumultuous but interesting time period. Eliot Schrefer has outdone himself with this fourth book in his series!Set thousands of years ago, this story follows a young gorilla living in Africa during the time of explosive volcanoes and the entrance of man.

If you didn't already love the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, you will after this fantasy retelling! Thomas Fawkes, suffering from the Stone Plague brought on by...who? The Igniters or the Keepers? Thomas is pulled into the Gunpowder Plot with the hopes of a cure, but when he starts to really see what is happening in the city, he wonders if all is as it seems. This story is twisty-turny in all kinds of ways, and I loved the addition of color magic and the masks used to infuse these abilities. This book touches on all kinds of political strife, and really makes you think about who the good guys are.If you didn't already love the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, you will after this fantasy retelling!
