Andreea Fluture _ndreea_luture — This is a funny book that I plan on reading to my kids. It's the meandering story of a group of four siblings who have very mean parents but a kind nanny, as well as a wealthy neighbor with a baby. The book struck me as a little gimmicky and not too original (very much along the lines of Lemony Snicket) - which surprised me, as Lois Lowry is one of my favorite children's authors - but, once you accept that, it's quite enjoyable. I especially liked her glossary and summary of referenced orphan books at the end of the book. And I love the cover of the book.

Havar Espedal princepsstudio — I don't think you need me to tell you that Toni Morrison is a talented author, so I won't. I gave it four stars, enough said.

Andrea Castillo anncastel — Todo empieza al levantarse de la cama desasosegado. Sucesión de personajes reales, con vidas reales y problemas como todos. Buscan el amor, lo encuentran, lo pierden, lo cuidan...Gran novela.

Cristell Patiño _o_okie — Nice book with some quality advice.

Mohamed Bouazie aouichawi8e45 — funny, interesting, and concise so far.

Divya Mishra artistdivya — The following part will remain the same in all my reviews of this series, I think, but I'll try to add some of my thoughts on the individual works in the next few days. I've reorganised my calibre library a few days ago, and stumbled upon this series. I'd long forgotten that I made it until the ninth novel before finally giving up. And the truth is, originally, I even enjoyed several of Ward's stories. Of course, in hindsight I'm asking myself how much I can hate my own gender to be that way, or how ingrained the sense of classism has to be for me to have enjoyed stories that, in any shape and form, were glaringly offensive. In my defense, this series is the one, and most likely also only one, that profitted from being translated into another language. Yes, the German version was better, so I only truly realised why people were criticisng Ward's writing when I re-read parts of the books in English. The Back Dagger Brotherhood series certainly influenced the genre in a massive way, and not all of it was bad. Even though she had two males have sex without lube -and I didn't read the story, so I can't say anything further- she did *dare* to write about a slash pairing in a mainstream paranormal romance novel. She unapologetically wrote the silliest, angiest plot-lines out there, and encouraged by fans reactions continued to do so, despite harsh critics out there. My problem is; and in order to discuss this or at least somewhat understand where I'm coming from, it has to be agreed that fiction does not exist in a vacuum, therefore representation in modern media is important and influencial; that Ward also treats her ladies rather badly. I don't mind stories focussed on cishet male's in their physical prime, but it can't be on the cost of creating full-fledged, interesting heroines. There are many things people have already addressed: The existence of sexism in a "superior" race, the existence of classism in it - that there is a race that feels content to always be inferior to them, to serve the vampires, the implications of the entire worldbuilding, and often rather random solutions to the stories, etc pp. are things that fundamently bother me now. But when I first read them, my shields were down. I just accepted them as they were. And that's what bothers me even more. Because fiction doesn't exist in a vacuum, and even when I close a book, the content stays with me. So, it's absolutely okay to be entertained by this series, or to love the characters. I can also see that several relationships made sense in the contect of the characters' personalities and circumstances. But Ward could have spend more time acknowledging certain conflicts than creaing more, and unneccessary, man-pain/angst. * * * * * I never really liked John (?), but I think I liked that Xhex (?) had a bigger role in the story. Of course, the whole him having sex with randoms and stuff just felt so over the top in previous volumes that I couldn't enjoy the story despite a more or less strong (on a Ward scale of female strength) female character. Alas.
