The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind (book review)

By monnibo | Published: September 2, 2012

Although Terry Goodkind said he wouldn’t be writing any more Sword of Truth books, he sort of slipped up with The Law of Nines. I’m guessing that book received a lukewarm review and thus The Omen Machine: A Richard and Kahlan Story was born. It takes place after the end of Confessor, the eleventh book in the Sword of Truth series. From the beginning, with Wizard’s First Rule, Terry Goodkind set a new standard for epic storytelling.

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (book review)

By monnibo | Published: February 28, 2011

I was a little apprehensive when I first read the jacket copy for Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. But the book came highly recommended by a bookish friend, so I plunged ahead. Initially I was concerned my suspicions were true — it felt a little cheesy, a little too Twilight-esque. I did enjoy Twilight while I was reading it, but I didn’t want another repeat (like so many jumping on the paranormal bandwagon). Fortunately, after a few chapters, all my apprehension was laid to rest. Some loves are meant to be… others are cursed. There were no Continue Reading »
