My Thoughts So many emotions while reading THE WINTER OF THE WITCH. So many. First, I take back what I said in my review of THE GIRL IN THE TOWER of finding someone else I hate more than Brother Konstantin Nikonovich. There is no other character I hate more in all of literature except for […]

My Thoughts THE GIRL IN THE TOWER was just as enchanting as THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE. I’m still in love with the medieval Russian setting at the time when paganism and Christianity clashed, not knowing who’d win, rather than trying to coexist together peaceably. I loved meeting the new characters and didn’t realize I could […]

My Thoughts THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE was awesome. I loved the dichotomy of the magic and fairy tales with the religion. I loved the setting in medieval Russia and all the Russian words and names (it brought me back to my Russian-learning days in high school). I loved Vasya. She’s a fantastic heroine and […]

My Thoughts I’ve been waiting 12 years to read MIDNIGHT SUN! It was everything I wanted it to be. Being in Edward’s head was truly enlightening. I loved learning more about him and the Cullens, the vampiric world, the Forks humans, Jacob, Charlie and Renée, and James’ coven (Victoria and Laurent). I also loved knowing […]
