review 1: I bought this for my boyfriend, who can actually benefit from the suggestions, but it seemed short and interesting so I thought I'd read it too. It was very sound advice and it made me look forward to reading her Eli series, especially now that I know how the first three were wri...

review 1: I'll admit to being a little dubious about picking up this one, because it was self-published, and I've not had the greatest run of luck with self-published books made into audiobooks. The last one I listened to was truly shocking, and a waste of thirteen hours I could have been ...

review 1: What happens when the caper gets serious?This is book #4 in the series, and darker than the earlier ones, though just as compelling. Much more is revealed about the world and how it works, which I appreciated. All of the characters are facing their "demons"- sometimes literally- ...

review 1: 26.11.2014 - 4*oh my, tak dobře jsem se už dlouho nebavila. Klasická fantasy, kdy každá věc má vlastního duši. A jak je to zpracované! A ty scény, které autorka napsala, její styl psaní mi sedl a její vtip... nice. :)) Eli Monpress je ta z postav, kterou si okamžitě zamilujete, š...

review 1: I was enjoying this series a lot... and then these last two books happened. This one got devoured in a couple of hours I really should have spent studying, and landed me close to tears a couple of times (Miranda!), as well as grinning at the perfection of the way certain things w...

review 1: An enjoyable but not challenging series, one of the first by Rachel Aaron who has definitely improved as an author subsequently. This is almost young adult territory, and has lots of cliches which I found annoying (amazing but taciturn swordsman with a heart of gold; cheeky, pow...

review 1: This is an amazing book! While I don't think I'll be writing 10k right away I believe that her methods or logical and effective enough that after practicing them I could very well see myself writing a higher word count regularly. These methods may not work for everyone though, es...

review 1: Honestly, this book suffered from the same problems I had with the first one. It's not that Eli was unlikable, it's just that I have a hard time enjoying that cocky, world-be-damned thief archetype and although there were moments where we got to see the soft underbelly that Eli ...

review 1: Lots of fun! I love books where the personalities of the main characters get revealed slowly, through the progression of the plot and through their actions, rather than through long chunks of tedious exposition or internal monologue. Even better when the characters still retain s...

review 1: This is more of a 3.5 star book. I thought the first story in this collection was slow, and quite frankly almost gave up. However, the final two novels were really good and we got to discover things about Eli and Nico that were not covered in the first novel, most notably their p...
