The childlike emperor's name
Contains spoilers, click to show
So, I didn't finish the book the first time I read this book (2016ish) because I couldn't get over the childlike emperor's name. I know that's a stupid thing to get hung up on but as it is a book that influenced a movie and I saw that movie at a young age. I had built up the mystery so much the let down was huge. I also kept comparing the book to the movies(they are better fight me. Ok not the second movie. I'll throw hands on the first.)
Don't do this.

I reread it and am glad because it is a good book for any age. It has good life lesson to learn or relearn and very creative in its creatures and world building. Its title is a little on the nose because by the end of the book I counted down the pages to the end. The first part of the book is the best, in my opinion.
Artax talks which is meh. And his death doesn't hit you as hard. But there are more fleshed out parts. Which I enjoyed.

Bewitched ( Betwixt & Between book 2)
By Darynda Jones


Forty-something Defiance Dayne only recently discovered she comes from a long line of powerful witches. Added to that was the teensy, infinitesimal fact that she is what’s called a charmling. One of three on the entire planet. And there are other witches who will stop at nothing to steal her immense power, which would basically involve her unfortunate and untimely death.

No one told her life after forty would mean having to learn new lifeskills—such as how to survive a witch hunter dead set on killing her—or that the sexiest man alive would be living in her basement.

Whoever said life begins at forty was clearly a master of the underappreciated and oft maligned understatement.


It was ok! For some reason this just didn’t grip me as much as the first one did and I normally love her work. It wasn’t a bad book at all but for me it lacked that spark that would have me normally give it 4 or 5 stars. There are some very likeable characters. Just felt a bit rushed.
