Second book in the Nyxia trilogy, and while I still enjoyed it, I have some major problems with the aliens. I mean, they’re fine, but they’re written as humans on another planet – hardly any differences, barely even cultural ones. Doesn’t feel well thought out.

Second book in the trilogy with psychics, witches, magic, ghosts, and prep school boys, and it started with a swerve that took me by surprise in a very good way, and I liked this book a LOT. Also, turns out it’s not a trilogy, it’s a…tetralogy?

The next book about time-traveling historians! Yay! This is the 6th book in the series, and it has been entirely too long since I read one of these. It was fun, as usual, and I won’t wait as long to read the next one.

I picked this one up from the library after a Tor.com post about science fiction that provides hope for humanity. It’s the first in a trilogy, and I liked it. I don’t know if it’s officially YA, but the focus is on a bunch of teenagers, and aside from a few kind parents and parent-figures, the adults are Evil-with-a-capital-E. So, yeah, it’s YA.

A novella about the main characters of the Folk of the Air trilogy, set between the first and second books. Nice to have part of the story told from the point of view of the other sister.

I had high hopes for this author, so I picked up this book of her short stories and WOW they’re too weird for me. I liked the first one, but every one after that was…too odd, or I just didn’t get it. Maybe a novel would be different.
