Review: The Magic Queen

Ohhh. I loved it. Very well done. Still doesn't surpass Calypso and Hades for me but it comes a close second nonetheless. I adored Baba Yaga. Damn. Freyr wasn't bad either. I certainly wouldn't mind having him for myself. The whole crone thing was a little weird for me though. Imagining them have sex then was more than a little off-putting but, alas, I persevered. And managed not to throw up in the process. Kudos for me bitches. I do find myself now incredibly curious about what Baba did to the Fairy Queen. Pretty please tell me that gets explained soon..Anyway, I can't wait for the next. Nicely done.

Review: The Ice Queen

The Ice Queen by Jovee Winters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not bad. I actually enjoyed this a lot. I wasn't much of a fan of Luminesa though. I had a really hard time relating to her and her situation. Her passionate nature was definitely more complicated for me to spot or maybe the problem was mine to start with. I don't know. I do admit I automatically compare every other queen with Calypso and, so far, Calypso has always come out ahead so maybe that's it. Either way, it wasn't bad. A centaur as a romantic interest was certainly a nice change and I liked him a lot. The kids were, well...not bad, per se, but mostly just a distraction just like The Goblin intended. I kept thinking: Well that's nice but how about you all work harder in finding the key? So yeah. I was a little miffed they didn't get there until the last possible moment and pretty much played into The Goblin's plan. So..Calypso. That woman did not wait for things to play out, she made them happen. She literally put Olympus at her feet. That's how it's done. Also the pining for five years? I get it but...Dude. Not for me.
