These also slow the pace they force an artificial sense of urgency in an otherwise slow, sensory journey and hijack the flow of Tea’s adventures. Multiple characters, including a dead brother and a handsome prince, surround stubborn, headstrong Tea as she finds herself implicated in events she doesn’t understand the interstitial chapters make it clear that learning more will not make things better. The level of detail is astounding, confusing, but nevertheless fascinating politics both local (the brief backmatter is a bit of a guide) and magical (the origin tale of the Faceless and heartsglass, introduced in the prologue, finally appears at the three-quarter mark) permeate everything. Chapters detailing young Tea’s early training through her debut as an asha intercut with 17-year-old Tea on a lonely beach raising monsters and planning war, relating her past to a nameless bard. The asha are known for performing, fighting, and magic beautiful, brown-skinned Tea is taken from her provincial village to Kion to begin training as a dark (in magic) asha when she accidentally raises her dead brother. Something of a high-fantasy Memoirs of a Geisha, Chupeco’s latest excels in originality.

I have a child to raise-a preteen boy who needs his mom to be all there.īut as autumn strips the trees of their leaves, falling for Thomas is exactly what I do. He can't move on.Īnd I can't risk falling for him. No matter how hot his kisses or how genuine his affection, he's still reeling. Because of Audrey Hepburn, I have foolishly.Ī) bought into the whole "Paris is always a good idea" thing without any offscreen evidence,ī) uprooted my son and left my bittersweet memories behind,Ĭ) allowed Thomas-the handsome, caring, way-out-of-my-league vet-to disrupt the humdrum life I had self-prescribed for my Broken Heart Syndrome.īehind his easy smile and swoon-worthy pecs, Thomas conceals an open wound. How much rating will I give this one? 4 out of 5 stars. On the scale of readability, I rate it 8 on 10. It is filled with positive vibes to the brim! To sum up, you shouldn’t miss this book if you need a complete mood changer. If you are an emotional fool like I am, this book will surely gain your undivided attention till the end. Every character is endearing and every character is given equal footage. It’s seamlessly woven tale of four sisters. It’s packed with emotions, drama and humor. There’s nothing in this book that you won’t like. It is one novel where I lack words to describe how very heartwarming it is. Much like every year Candy, Tammy, Annie and Sabrina come home for Fourth Of July weekend but it turns into a horrendous and unimaginable tragedy.While coping with this harsh reality the grit of the sisters help them heal themselves. While my personal favorite by Steel happens to be ‘The Ghost,’ I also fell in love with the novel ‘Sisters.’ It is very intensely evoking novel about three sisters who come back to be each others strength. Her popularity is solely basis the kinda relationships she weaves through her work. Steel is much into emotions and drama and that works magic for her.

It was just as I expected Geoffrey to be: lively, flirty, and a little flamboyant, without being stereotypical. I especially enjoyed his portrayal of Geoffrey. He altered his voice to fit he personality and demeanor of each character. Kenneth Obi told the story with emphasis, adding emotion and enthusiasm at the right times. While he is witty, irreverent and delightfully flamboyant, he is also thoughtful and sweet. I enjoyed the banter among the Ward Security team, and I thoroughly enjoyed Geoffrey’s flirtatious sass. This book was an exciting adventure from start to finish. As they live together while the experts at Ward Security track down Geoffrey’s stalker, the two begin to explore feelings that go beyond simple attraction.

Japan was a gorgeous setting for this story. A boy with a dangerous side, who Katie just can't stop thinking about? Yes, please! When Tomo came into the picture, I knew things were headed in a fabulous direction. She was kind, honest, and just sarcastic enough to create some lightheartedness for the story. In fact, I can't deny that I liked Katie immensely. I felt her reactions to everything were really spot on. I can't imagine living in another country, much less one where the language is still new. It was so interesting to watch Katie as she settled into her new life. I couldn't wait to see where Katie Greene's new life in Japan would take me. Needless to say, I was really excited to read this book. I love Japanese mythology, and I definitely love Fantasy reads. I'll be straightforward with you and explain that the reason I picked Ink up in the first place was that it was set in Japan. |
