The most comprehensive book of fairy folklore in my library. A must read.

On retrouve, dans ce recueil de nouvelles tour à tour drôles, attendrissantes ou cruelles, les paysans normands et les petits bourgeois parisiens chers à Maupassant. Les nouvelles La Parure, Un Lâche et La Confession sont particulièrement réussies.

I first heard this writer in an NPR interview. I liked how humble he sounded even though he had won a pulitizer for "All Aunt Hagar's Children" (which I haven't read yet). I chose to start with his first book, "Lost in the City," b/c it's about ordinary folks in a big city. And I liked the title. I also liked his story: he was a tax-publication editor for 14 years but was crafting a novel in his head for much of that time. One day he got laid off from his job, and while that seemed unlucky at first, he was able to get the book that was in his head down on to paper in three months. The short stories here are simple and straightforward, yet moving...i like that style.

The direction that the book took was an interesting reversal of how evolution is normally described. Starting at the tips of the bush and heading down to the root, instead of the other way.

Note: An ARC of this novel was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Though I never got to witness the Fiction Press excitement around this book myself, I can see why Throne of Glass gained such a following with its readers. Adventurous, compelling and romantic, this is one debut novel that definitely lives up to my expectations. Being Adarlan’s most infamous assassin finally caught up with Celaena Sardothien, and after a mysterious betrayal enabled her capture at the hands of the king she was sent to the brutal salt mines in Endovier for over a year. Scarred, starved and overworked, when Crown Prince Dorian presents her with an opportunity for escape she grasps at it with both hands. The catch: she must compete with over twenty men for the title of the king’s champion, though as contestants begin to show up murdered Celaena fears that she may not live long enough to earn the freedom she so desperately craves. Celaena was not quite what I was expecting when I came into this book. She was strong, deadly and intelligent; but also quite vain and surprisingly witty when bantering with the males in this novel. One thing Maas excels at is the strong representation of not one, but two of her female characters. Whilst Celaena is our main focus it would be hard to forget Nehemia, a rebellious young woman severely underestimated by everyone at court. The friendship that blossomed between the two young women was genuine, and I can only hope that she remains a fixture in the next novel in the series. When discussing the book with my peers the one thing that seems to attract most people to it is the description, and I will be the first to admit that for me it was exactly the same. In reality the plot almost, almost, lived up to everything I could hope for, yet I found it to be a smidgen on the wrong side of predictable. Though I commend the author’s attempts at cultivating red herrings I am disappointed to say that I’d worked out the mystery killer barely halfway into the book, and found it frustrating when Celaena and Chaol were floundering around on a wild goose chase. However, I should add that I still found the novel very entertaining, and was not tempted to stop reading just because I might have worked a few things out. Now we come to the real issue, the dreaded Love Triangle of Doom (insert dramatic music here). It wasn’t that I particularly disliked one of the love interests over the other; it was just that there appeared to be only one realistic choice. Dorian and Celaena’s relationship felt over-clichéd and contrived, whereas her interactions with Chaol were deeper and allowed for the building of a true connection. Something that particularly irritated me was that Dorian visited her maybe once every two weeks, yet she was still hopelessly attracted to him and left in a severe state of swoon when they parted. Chaol, however, was reliable and unfailing, and I can only hope that Celaena will come to her senses in future novels. A well-deserved 4 stars, Throne of Glass is an outstanding debut novel that I recommend to any YA or fantasy lover. I, among many others, cannot wait to read the sequel when it releases, and feel that with a starting book such as this the series can only get better!

If I had followed my 50 page rule, I may well have put this one down. But fortunately, I kept reading and the story really captured me about the time Saba becomes "the angel of death". From there on out, BLOOD RED ROAD is a thrill ride with many moments of surprising heart.

Loved every minute of this book. Its amazing what the chinese believe when it comes to the afterlife. The descriptions of foot binding will stay with me forever.

I would have liked to have given this a 4, but it lost me a bit towards the end (most probably due to my grasp on the english language - or lack of!). It was a very cleaver book, and the author must have spent some time filtering through the words and phrases and I loved that it was formed through letters between people (ahh, before the days of email!). I also thought how it signifies how much people try to read into things that don't need to be given the amount of time to. SBC: Nestie choice (thanks Kerip!)
