Where does one even begin with this book? Nothing I say could ever really do it justice. I guess I understand what all the fuss was about now. Liesel is now one of my favorite heroines of all time. She's strong-willed, compassionate, and still just a girl....

I've mentioned in my reviews for the previous books in this series that I've read it before and I have to say I'm /really/ glad I decided to reread them because I had it in my mind that the ending was really depressing. Instead, it was a really fitting end...

Saturday, you envious bastard. I really liked the sorcery system with the colorful umbrellas and everything. And it's kind of amusing that whenever a sorcerer got a promotion their entire desk space moved up however many floors and all the sad saps who didn't make it threw...

Lady Friday just seems a bit pitiful to me. She has her Noon (or possible Dawn or Dusk -- I can't quite recall) do her fighting while she sits about eating human experiences. Plus, she goes a bit mad with her desire for the experiences. It begins to seem that...

Not my favorite of the series, but a good and important one to Arthur's story. This is where Arthur really starts to struggle with the possibility of becoming a Denizen. It's hard to watch him trying to do everything. He's fighting to keep himself human and maybe...

In an almost unheard of event, I think I actually liked the second book better than the first in The Kane Chronicles. I really like how Carter and Sadie started to come into their own in The Throne of Fire. Since they shut out the gods and...

This whole series is one of the best I've read in a long while, but the final book is exceptional. I couldn't possibly imagine a better ending than the one Mull has created here, despite the deaths of many of my favorite characters. I ended up finishing the book at...

Let's just get this out of the way now: I still love the Percy Jackson series more. But that's really neither here nor there since this is an entirely different series and shouldn't be compared to Percy just because it's the same author. I can't say this...

I loved the first book in this series and I'm glad the sequel didn't disappointment me. Seeds of Rebellion is a fantastic sequel that only made me more excited to read the third book. I think I'll do this review list-style since I enjoyed most...

After being surprised by how much I enjoyed Lockdown, I was a little afraid I'd be disappointed in the next book(s). Especially since there's quite a few of them. I'm happy to say the Solitary didn't disappoint me in the least. Well, except for one small thing, but...

I'm so glad everyone wouldn't stop singing the praises for this book, because I wouldn't have read it otherwise, and I'd never know what my life was missing. I never planned to read this because I'm pretty wary of the fantasy genre in general. On...

This one is probably my favorite of the three so far. Leaf joins Arthur in the House this time around, though she doesn't stay with him for very long. In his absence, though she's pretty awesome. She becomes a ship boy on a miserable ship, goes through...

A pretty strong sequel. I kind of wish Grim Tuesday had been involved more, but the story was good nonetheless. Plus, the portion of the Will in this one is kind of amusing. I love the slow growth Arthur is going through. He still...

I've read the entire series before, but my memory really isn't great so I only remember little bits and pieces. I've often thought about the series in the years since finishing it and thought it was time for a reread. I'd forgotten just how good these books...

We leave Meg as a teenager in the previous book only to arrive here with her grown, married, and pregnant. Um, okay. I mean, watching someone grow and change is good, but I'd rather actually see it happen than be told it happened. Now that Meg has...
