Review - Cress by Marissa Meyer @marissa_meyer

In this third book in Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they're plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and prevent her army from invading Earth.

 Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl trapped on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she's being forced to work for Queen Levana, and she's just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

 When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is splintered. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price than she'd ever expected. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai, especially the cyborg mechanic. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

Review:

Marissa Meyer did something right with this book series because I can’t stop reading it. She’s created a sci-fi fantasy world that I’ve been able to completely immerse myself in. I enjoy the way she has taken classic fairy tales and given it a completely unique twist. Their stories are recognizable but she has given them enough changes that it is now her own story and characters but kept the essence of the stories without making the books stale.

The third book in the series introduces this world's version of Rapunzel. Cress, is an alien hacker locked up in a satellite orbiting the earth instead of a tower. I adore the way Meyer incorporated the classic elements of the original Rapunzel story. In Meyer’s version, Cress, is a hacker and her hacking abilities are too unrealistic for me to sustain my suspension of disbelief. While it is a modernized fairy tale, it bothered me how she seemed to know magically absolutely everything relevant to the plot without any real explanation as to how.

Meyer did an incredible job of making a story that held my interest despite the story’s problems. It has the right amount of adventure and violence and romance to make it enjoyable. I appreciate the work she put into making her story universe for Cress to take place in. Her characters for the most part are all interesting and with their own distinct voice. She created an irresistible plot and knows how to word things to keep you guessing and wanting more.

Sneaking out of the palace wasn’t one of Aniri’s best ideas. But she’s the Third Daughter of the Queen of Dharia—zero responsibilities and zero royal duties. She’s just the backup daughter, in case her older sisters’ arranged marriages—to take the crown or broker an alliance—don’t quite work out. But once Aniri reaches her 18th birthday, she’ll be truly free… and then she can marry the charming fencing instructor she meets for fevered kisses in the forest.

But then the impossible happens—a marriage proposal. From a barbarian prince in the north, no less. And if Aniri refuses, the threat of their new flying weapon might bring war.

So she agrees to the young prince’s proposal, but only as a subterfuge to spy on him, find the weapon, and hopefully avoid both war and an arranged marriage to a man she doesn’t love. But once she arrives in the sweeping mountains of the north, she discovers the prince has his own secrets… and saving her country may end up breaking her heart.

This Bollywood-style royal romance takes you to an alternate East Indian world filled with skyships, saber duels, and lots of royal intrigue.

THIRD DAUGHTER is the first book in the Royals of Dharia trilogy.

The Tournament Trilogy follows the rise of the Tournament, a secretive, state-sponsored war game...and the stakes couldn't be higher. This collection contains the first three books in the series and is over 1000 pages of conspiracy, warfare, and murder! A Kindle Top 50 Bestseller!
______

Blue Fall (Book 1)

If you knew about the Tournament, you'd know why they want it kept secret. People don't like to hear that state-sponsored war games are going on under their noses, in their cities, and on their streets. The world isn't ready to know that the most powerful among us can shape the future by wagering on these fights. People wouldn't understand if they learned that teams in the Tournament have the freedom to do almost anything, anywhere, to win.

The Tournament was supposed to be the perfect game, and the perfect secret. Frank Youngsmith, a hapless insurance agent, was supposed to be a nobody, none the wiser. But sometimes things just don't work out like they're supposed to. When Frank stumbles into the dark world of the Tournament when the game is on, it's up to him to expose the secret...or die trying.

Grey Winter (Book 2)

Two players have been murdered. Two killers are on the loose. Nothing is what it seems.

The world is awake now. The Tournament has captivated everyone, but no winner can be declared until the mystery of what happened to Team Blue is solved. Meanwhile, three new players are chosen to rebuild the fallen team, but they are young and inexperienced, and instantly targeted. Their survival is dependent upon their existence remaining a secret. But in the Tournament, secrets are hard to keep.

New alliances are formed, old enemies are confronted, and the truth is finally revealed in Grey Winter.

Black Spring (Book 3)

The Black House gathers power and the remaining teams are divided. The Tournament will fall into the hands of Eddie Mazaryk and Team Black unless Ellie Willmore and Team Blue can stop them. But to stop Black, Ellie needs to pull off a miracle: unite sworn enemies to beat the best of the best.

The stakes have never been higher. The winners own the Tournament. The losers forfeit everything...even their lives.

Ties of friendship, love, and hate are put to the test under a hail of gunfire in Black Spring, the spectacular conclusion to The Tournament Trilogy.

A Quest of Heroes (Book #1 in the Sorcerer's Ring) by Morgan Rice @MorganRiceBooks

Free for a Limited Time.

3.6 Stars

From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes the debut of a dazzling new fantasy series. A QUEST OF HEROES (BOOK #1 IN THE SORCERER’S RING) revolves around the epic coming of age story of one special boy, a 14 year old from a small village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of the Ring. The youngest of four, the least favorite of his father, hated by his brothers, Thorgrin senses he is different from the others. He dreams of becoming a great warrior, of joining the King’s men and protecting the Ring from the hordes of creatures on the other side of the Canyon. When he comes of age and is forbidden by his father to try out for the King’s Legion, he refuses to take no for an answer: he journeys out on his own, determined to force his way into King’s Court and be taken seriously.

But King’s Court is rife with its own family dramas, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. King MacGil must choose an heir from amongst his children, and the ancient Dynasty Sword, the source of all their power, still sits untouched, waiting for the chosen one to arrive. Thorgrin arrives as an outsider and battles to be accepted, and to join the King’s Legion.

Thorgrin comes to learn he has mysterious powers he does not understand, that he has a special gift, and a special destiny. Against all odds he falls in love with the king’s daughter, and as their forbidden relationship blossoms, he discovers he has powerful rivals. As he struggles to make sense of his powers, the king’s sorcerer takes him under his wing and tells him of a mother he never knew, in a land far away, beyond the Canyon, beyond even the land of the Dragons.

Before Thorgrin can venture out and become the warrior he yearns to be, he must complete his training. But this may be cut short, as he finds himself propelled into the center of royal plots and counterplots, ones that may threaten his love and bring him down—and the entire kingdom with him.

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A QUEST OF HEROES is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. It is 82,000 words.

Review: Dragonfly in Amber: A Novel (Outlander) by Diana Gabaldon

The second part of the series from Diana Gabaldon that explores the power of a love which transcends space and time. A magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland...For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones ...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time ...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his ....Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ...in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ...and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

I was excited to hear the second part of the Outlander series. Genuinely excited because I love the first one so much. I was expecting more of the same awesome writing style and timing and characters.

I didn't get that. I was horribly disappointed. None of the time was to weave words in a beautiful and magically way that brought colorful visions within the mind's eye. Hints of it was there but then they would be later reused by another character. The vision broken and it's pieces shared by other character's inner dialogue. It seemed lazy and rushed.

There were other attempts to construct a details web of politics and backstabbing, very well done by Game of Thrones. But it wasn't there and never could due to the mcguffin being a historical fact. It's like watching the mechanics for the Titanic. You want want them to overcome impossible odds but we all know, it ain't going to happen.

We are introduced very quickly to Claire's daughter as well as other interesting characters but new given ample time to care for them. It too felt rush and quickly resolved.

It was so bad I nearly gave up with only 4 discs left but I soldiered on. I love the main characters and great supporting characters. If you can, read a spoiler filled synopsis. It will save you 30 hours.

Interview with Rita Avaud A.Najm

Digital Ink Spot: Please introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is Rita Avaud A.Najm. I am an American-Lebanese mother of two amazing boys. I was born and raised In Ashrafiyeh, Lebanon, one of the eastern parts of Beirut. Because of France’s mandate over Lebanon following World War I, French became the second language in Lebanon. I never thought that I would teach the language that I’ve studied and used for more than 20 years until I came to Utah. I felt so glad to know that many public and private schools in Salt Lake County offer a dual immersion French program. This fact encouraged me to teach French and to start writing my “La Petite Rita,” a series of stories about a French little girl, who came from Paris to live with her family in the United States of America.

Digital Ink Spot: At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?

Before Utah, I lived for more than five years in Houston, Texas. I even went back to college there and studied Business Management. Since I was working at one of Houston’s school libraries, I decided that my graduation project should be a guide for parents and teachers to encourage students to read more poetry and non-fiction books. My Guide and “La Petite Rita” were not my first books. I actually

started writing when I was 7 years old. My humble works were mostly plays, song lyrics, and Arabic poetry. My mom bought me at this age many of the children’s series of “Martine.” This very famous French book series, written by the Belgians Marcel Marlier and Gilbert Delahaye, has sold about 100 million copies and is one of the best-selling book series. I’ve always loved these stories and their beautiful colorful illustrations. I hope that “La Petite Rita” will become as famous as “Martine” and also “La Madeline.”

Digital Ink Spot: We learned that you have been writing since a child. If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

I wish that I can go back in time and save all my writings, my essays and scratch note books that had all of my ideas and thoughts. I wish I wrote more and kept all my beautiful innocent joyful moments and my silliest odd scribbles. Now I try my best to remember and to make from my memories and my adventurous stories, a cute way to teach children about good morals and right conduct, while entertaining them and teaching them some common French words.



Digital Ink Spot: We also learned that you illustrate your own stories. Which comes first, the illustrations or the stories?

Stories always come first followed by illustrations that are usually to show the story and details of the characters mostly.

Digital Ink Spot: How is the creative process of painting and writing similar and different?

Writing and painting are both art. That’s my personal opinion. They both hold a message. They both show your own thoughts and the details of your creative mind and imagination. Tools might be different; one needs a brush, while the other needs a pencil. Writing and painting need you to be gifted and talented first... To master both, you need willingness to learn and practice. In painting, happiness or sadness can be seen in colors. In writing, these feelings are read. Yet paintings can make

viewers visualize something different then what the artist was trying to express or show in his painting. Any view, anything, an animal, a landscape, a beautiful face or a unique object can inspire an artist to draw a painting. But not everything you see deserves to have a book written about it. Another particular thing about writing is that you can fix any mistake; you can reread it and edit it as much as you can, as well as adding ideas or more actions and characters to your work anytime. When it comes to painting, once your work is done, it will be difficult to remove or change anything.

Digital Ink Spot: Where do your children stories come from?

My “La Petite Rita” stories are mostly about my childhood. Some are about my children, like “Rita’s Art Project,” one of the first volume stories. “Rita” in this story is actually my son who likes to draw, and the mother volunteer who gives art classes is actually me, who usually volunteers at my children school and teaches art and reads stories about the masters of art. Besides the two volumes of “La Petite Rita,” I have many Stories ready and waiting to be published. Some are fiction ones, full of imagination and creativity yet they all have a message and a lesson for a better conduct. Imagination is the key!

It started innocently enough. Beautiful Harper gave Sean those eyes… those eyes that meant, yes, take me. But Harper didn’t know Sean’s secrets… She didn’t know that he liked it rough.

More than rough. He liked to dominate. To punish. To degrade. It was the only way that the black hole in his soul wouldn’t swallow him up.

He would push her a little too far, and she would run. They all ran, eventually.

But that’s not what happened... when he put his hands around her throat and squeezed, Harper moaned. When he told her to stay away, she didn’t listen, misbehaving until she got spanked. When he took out the handcuffs, there was excitement in her eyes, mixed with a little fear.

The doe-eyed redhead liked it. More than that, she wanted it. She said so, time and again.

That’s the thing about sexy strangers, though… you never know what they’re hiding. And Harper is carrying a burden so heavy that even Sean’s secrets pale in comparison.

The Alliance has toppled the tyrannical empire. It should be a time for celebration, but not for fighter pilot Captain Alisa Marchenko. After barely surviving a crash in the final battle for freedom, she's stranded on a dustball of a planet, billions of miles from her young daughter. She has no money or resources, and there are no transports heading to Perun, her former home and the last imperial stronghold.

But she has a plan.

Steal a dilapidated and malfunctioning freighter from a junkyard full of lawless savages. Slightly suicidal, but she believes she can do it. Her plan, however, does not account for the elite cyborg soldier squatting in the freighter, intending to use it for his own purposes. As an imperial soldier, he has no love for Alliance pilots. In fact, he's quite fond of killing them.

Alisa has more problems than she can count, but she can't let cyborgs, savages, or ancient malfunctioning ships stand in her way. If she does, she’ll never see her daughter again.

Fans of Firefly and Star Wars should enjoy this fun, fast-paced new series from USA Today best-selling author, Lindsay Buroker.

Interview with Stephanie Crosby @Stephwashere2

The Digital Ink Spot: Please tell the readers about yourself.
Stephanie Crosby: I write because I am. I am because I write. I want readers to read my stories even after I’m gone. I want to be remembered. What do I want to accomplish? Fun while I’m living. The joy of having the gift to teach and entertain readers. What I'm trying to accomplish as a writer is I wanted to reach out to people to see if I'm the only one with a bad dating life. My next YA novel is about a teen girl, but I don’t want to give away the premise. I haven’t seen it written before, and I don’t want someone else to grab it first. Normally I don’t worry about that sort of thing because we all tell stories differently, but this premise burns.

The Digital Ink Spot: What is your latest story about?
Stephanie Crosby: My story is about The Last Virgin Alive, a new adult romantic suspense novel about a girl's first year of college. Far from home at an out of state college, the family drama she tried to get away from still exists. While struggling with college life and her family's issues, she is also feeling rejected and out of place because she is still a virgin. Will she find her way or will her struggles catch up with her?  

The Digital Ink Spot: When did you start writing?

Stephanie Crosby: I started writing years ago. Then when my friends kept going on dates and I wasn't, I wrote 'The Last Virgin Alive' while watching TV instead of complaining about my dating life. I wanted to write my story to see if others can relate..

The Digital Ink Spot: Where can readers find you?
Stephanie Crosby: I enjoy FB because I like to connect on an emotional level with readers and friends. I enjoy listening to their fears, joys, and sorrows. It’s life. I want to be in the thick of it with them, cry with them and pray for them.
http://www.facebook.com/StephanieCwashere
Twitter feels like a bunch of people shouting about themselves. It isn’t about warm relationships. It feels cold to me. Nonetheless, you’ll find me here: Twitter: @Stephwashere2
I love to share writerly information at my blog: http://stephwashere2.blogspot.com/
My books are at Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20835585-the-last-virgin-alive

The Digital Ink Spot: What sets your stories apart from the rest?
Stephanie Crosby: My novels will take readers to new places where emotions run high. The Last Virgin Alive will take readers wondering what's next for a while. If you don’t know what that is then you should read the book. It’s a fun sport. Well, most of the time. This book will give readers insight as to why bad dates happen and what could come out of it.

Review: Outlander - Audiobook, CD, Unabridged by Diana Gabaldon

It was my boss at work that shared this gem of a story with me. It literally has everything in it. Swords battles, gun battles, stampedes, love and sex, history and science fiction and the occult. It is a jammed pack epic. Check out the synopsis:

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone ruins and is instantly transported to a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans . in 1743. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser? Davina Porter's lyrical narration will launch listeners into an exhilarating world of heroism, pulse-pounding adventure, and breathtaking romance as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

The reader, Davina Porter does an excellent job. Doesn't quite have a handle on men's voices but it isn't distracting. 
The announcement the CD has ended is always appreciated. It's 32.5 hours on 28 CDs. It moves quick and never dull. I hear there is a version of this on Showtime. I've not watched it yet. I have started the second part to this series and I am loving Dragonfly in Amber.

Review: The Girl in the Spider's Web

Summary: she is the girl with the dragon tattoo—a genius hacker and uncompromising misfit. He is a crusading journalist whose championing of the truth often brings him to the brink of prosecution. Late one night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a source claiming to have information vital to the United States. The source has been in contact with a young female superhacker—a hacker resembling someone Blomkvist knows all too well. The implications are staggering. Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Salander for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda. The secret they are both chasing is at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminals, and governments around the world, and someone is prepared to kill to protect it . .

Review: David Largercrantz tries to capture the writing style of Stieg Larsson. He almost gets there. I'd say most of it pick ups right where Larsson left off but it is a task not easily done and Largercrantz' version of the Millennium gang feels like an evolution of a writer's style. It's an enjoyable story that feels rushed to get to the end. An ending that doesn't satisfy as previous books had. It does give a feeling that there could be more story.
The production of the CD was done well. There are no added interludes to indicate the CD is ending.
It is an enjoyable story worth the listen.
