Sarah Williams sarah_williams — I absolutely loved this book, from beginning to end.

Dejan Keleman _reen_lushh — Originally posted at Read Me Bookmark Me Love Me Wood Angel, originally Plain Kate, reads very much like a fairytale, though it is definitely not written for a younger audience. After her father's wake, Kate finds herself living in the bottom drawer of a cupboard in her market stall. Imagine her surprise when she finds three newborn kittens there, abandoned by their mother. After nursing them back to health and giving them a strong dose of TLC, two wander off to pursue fun adventures with only one, a tomcat named Taggle, remaining. While selling her carvings, a flute-playing boy opens up a stall nearby, promising charms that will grant her wishes. Fake as they may be, his true powers are not. With a carving talent such as hers, Plain Kate is constantly accused of witchery. When she is driven out of town, she gives up her shadow to the boy, Linay, in exchange for some supplies to send her on her way. She is accompanied by Taggles, setting off to travel with the Roamers. The best part of this novel is the relationship Kate has with her cat. Linay grants Taggles the ability to speak, so the witty dialogue and adorable cuddling will have you grinning like a fool. Taggles is fiercely protective of his Kate and is not afraid show it! At times he's friendly, at times he's needy, and sometimes he's downright mean. We've got to love those bipolar pets, right? ;) Something is killing people in their sleep, and nothing can be done to stop it. When Kate discovers that Linay is going to use her shadow for evil, she must uncover his ulterior motives and stop him in time before a whole village is massacred. Erin Bow's writing is poetic and the words simply flow off the page, whether magical or sinister. There's an eerie sense of calm, even in the most frightening moments, and the occasional episodes of graphic violence really have that shock-and-cringe factor. Wood Angel is mainly focused on Kate's adventures to survive on her own and to stop Linay from carrying out his dark plan. I would have liked to see more character development, in her and the other characters, but overall this was an enjoyable book to pass the time. The final chapters of the novel are exciting and are bound to pull you in if it didn't already. Deaths, rebirths, murders and magic - your jaw will most definitely drop at least once.

Sandy Nguyen cacthuy — Note: I'm not going to rate the book as a whole until such time as I've read the whole thing. Ratings for individual stories are provided in the text of the review. "City of Demons" by Richelle Mead Georgina Kincaid #2.5 - ★★★★ An interesting story that reveals more of Georgina's personality and further highlights how different she is from most other demons and immortals on Team Evil. Her sense of justice is highlighted, as is her desire for the truth, even when knowing the truth will likely serve little purpose. We also get to learn more about Seth's character, and how he's feeling about their relationship. Two separate plots are interwoven here, with the narrative switching back and forth nearly seamlessly. Georgina finds herself in an impossible position a few different times on a few different fronts, but just when you're sure she's just going to have to suck it up and deal with some setbacks, a last minute twist salvages a lot of the mess she's been in. This was a relatively quick read, and I'd certainly recommend it to anyone following the series, especially reading it in order, as it's worthwhile for the character insights alone.

Kyoichi Watanabe ganboo3000 — I loved reading Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture. Abbie Hoffman is one of a kind. The book is written in a quick, direct, and funny manner (just like Abbie).

Daniel John _ope_reamer_tudios — I know I'm supposed to like this book. It's a treasured children's classic and I'm a literature teacher. But it was so blah to me. Then again, I've never cared for survival stories. I think that will always be a bias of mine.
