Lord of Misrule by Rachel Caine

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I beginning to be thankful that I'm borrowing these from the library and not getting them from the bookstore. With each book in the series it seems like these would be better as shorter chapters in one large book. '



Again we mainly follow as she makes choices in the world around her. Half the time I'm shaking my head at her decisions and the rest of the time I'm intrigued with those choices.



I had a hard time getting into this book in the series, due to the slowly moving plot line. They spent the majority of time running between portals but not really achieving anything. It did however start picking up towards the end with the last few pages being very well written. Where was that that excitement earlier in the book?



However the ending is the only reason I feel this book even warrants getting a 3rd star from me.

Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I started reading this series due to my library not carrying the Weather Warden series by the same author. They are all quick reads but this one seemed faster than the rest of them have so far.

Up until now Claire just seems to be going along with whatever Amelie wants her to do. I like that she starts to show some backbone in this one. She stands up to the vamps and her parents all in the same book. However this seems to be all the book really was about. I hit the last page and it seemed like there should have been a few more.

For a YA book it was still enjoyable, no matter how short it felt. I will say that I'm curious to see where Shane and her's relationship goes in the next few books.
