Hounds of the Morrigan by Pat Oshea

Christin, April 8, 2013

What an adorable book! It grabs you from the first page and is a surprisingly fast read. This is a sweet, fun story about a brave, clever young boy and his spitfire little sister going on a quest through Faerie to retrieve a special stone that will allow them to prevent The Morrigan from unleashing misery on the world. A great mythological romp!

Andromeda Klein by Frank Portman

Christin, March 25, 2013

This is such a delightful book! Andromeda Klein is just your average high schooler obsessed with the tarot and ceremonial magic, when suddenly she begins having dreams and visions involving imagery from the tarot and a figure calling itself the King of Sacremento. Worse, her dead best friend is suddenly not quite as dead as she should be. This book is weird and quirky without even trying to be, which makes it absolutely charming. A fun, unique read!

The 4400: Wet Work by Dayton Ward

Christin, November 1, 2012

This is like a stand alone episode of the show. Most of the focus of this book is on original characters and they're well written and given enough depth that they really hold your attention. A great read for anyone who misses the show, like me!

The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente

Christin, October 6, 2012

A worthy sequel to 'The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making'!

In this one, September finally makes her way back to Fairyland to find that people's shadows have gone missing! Figuring this is her fault on account of the way she gave away her own shadow the last time she was there, September vows to make things right and sets off for Fairyland Below. It's got the same charming kinds of characters, lovely use of language and wonderful fairytale quality that the first one has, so I was really, really pleased.
