I will miss Jacky, and I think this is a fairly fitting end for her. Dramatic, and a wild romp. I still don't ship Jacky/Jaimy, but clearly the author did. As always, Katherine Kellgren does a fantastic job reading.
Thank you, Netgalley, for providing me with a free copy of this book to review.
This book was really, really good. I'm glad Riordan didn't try to write it himself. Chokshi does a great job laying out the world, and the mythology. I'm not familiar with much about Hinduism at all, and I felt like I got enough to follow along, and to start me on a path of searching for my own information about it.
I love Aru and Mini as our heroes, especially Mini, as I relate to her a lot. It's complicated, and wonderful, and I have it on order for the library. I also plan on checking out Chokshi's other books.

I thought this really ended the trilogy well. I was wondering how everything could balance out, and I'm really happy with what Elliott did. It felt satisfying as a reader, and for the character. Such a good series.

So good. I loved this one. Vasya is such a great protagonist, and I loved the other characters too. Arden does an excellent job of building up the Russian setting, and the author's note explains where she took liberties. I can't wait to read the next one.
This book was hilarious and I am annoyed that no libraries in Maine own any of the sequels yet. I will say that I am not sure I agree with the comparisons to Veronica Mars. That series doesn’t have as light a tone as this one. I would put it on a spectrum between her and Stephanie Plum. It’s a little more serious than the latter series. Very enjoyable, especially if you know a little bit about online MMORPGs.
Thank you Netgalley for an advanced review copy of this book.
Normally I try to review my ARC copies closer to the release date, but I couldn't wait with this one. It's very good. It's about two women, Rielle and Eliana, who exist years apart but their stories start to relate in interesting ways. It's also about a prophecy: two queens will rise, one of blood and one of sun. I really liked how Legrand characterized each of these characters. They each were individual, complicated people, with interesting, complicated people around them.
My main complaint about the book is that it took me a little while to get into it. You're definitely thrown into the action, and it took me a while to get my bearings. Initially I also didn't read much of what the book was about, so the switch in narrators was also really confusing for me. By the end, I wasn't able to put it down, and it was a book I was reading on my phone, which normally I only read during my work lunch breaks.

Powerful. This stunner of a book addresses the Black Lives Matter movement so well. A must-read.
Pretty cute! Loved the illustrations.
This book is really good. I wanted to keep reading and not put it down, and I am not normally a true crime reader. I agree with the other reviews that you end up humanizing Richard while also still understanding what he did was horrible. This book also explains restorative justice and gender/sex terms really well. Recommended for all readers.
