The Floating Islands by Rachel Neumeier Two cousins meeting each other for the first time prove more important to each other and to the future of their kingdom than either of them could realize in this classical-feeling fantasy. Trei has … Continue reading
The Naming
I started this series this fall, when I had a bit more reading time and less access to libraries than usual, so thick absorbing books were perfect. I made it to book three out of four, and am taking a … Continue reading
Foiled
Here I am reviewing Jane Yolen again… but it’s a graphic novel this time, and this is the first I’ve seen her doing it. Plus, it’s about fencing. I recently read another Diana Wynne Jones book, too, The Merlin Conspiracy, … Continue reading

Dragonhaven
Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley McKinley, award-winning author of Beauty and The Hero and the Crown, among others, is back. This is the first book of hers I’ve read with a male protagonist, but, if you’re a fan, don’t let that … Continue reading
Magic and Babies
Circle of Magic – the Circle Opens: Sandry’s Book, Tris’s Book, Daja’s Book, Briar’s Book by Tamora Pierce and I listened to this whole series in the car (separately). The four short books go together nicely to form one main … Continue reading
