Erika (17788 KP) rated The Burning Chambers (The Burning Chambers #1) in Books
Feb 20, 2021
I really enjoy Kate Mosse's books, and I always devour them. This book is the start of the new series, and, of course, it takes place in Mosse's favorite area, Carcassonne.
Honestly, the mystery involving Minou was fairly easy to solve, at least for me. I enjoyed the characters and the writing overall.
Now, I just need to find a copy of The City of Tears, the second book in the series. Mosse's books are fairly hard to find here in the USA sometimes, so I'm on the hunt.

I've had Agatha All Along stuck in my head for weeks and I'm not even mad about it.
This series is wonderfully paced, brimming with moments for both fans of the movies and comics alike, really fleshes out Wanda's trauma in a meaningful way, sets up SO much of what's to come, and hits all the right emotional buttons along the way.
The first of many MCU series coming to Disney+ landed and dispelled most doubts about this chosen format for this phase, and I'm excited for what comes next.

I guess this was a good lead up to the next and final book in the series, the one where hopefully Kaylee and the gang kick some serious demon arse and get rid of Avari and the other two evil bleeders forever. It's been a long time brewing and I'm sure it will be really good.
As I've mentioned before, this isn't my favourite series but I have to admit it does seem to be getting better the more I read (though truthfully, I didn't think it was as good as the last book).

I loved the Vampire Academy series and held off reading this for ages thinking it might not have grabbed me as much as the other series but you know what? I got really into it! I always find Richelle's story quick and easy reads and this was no exception. If I could have, I'd have read this in one sitting but two long working days back to back ruined that idea and it's taken me four/five days instead.
I can't wait to read the rest of these books!!

3.5 stars.
I got a little lost in the middle but this series is all action, action, action. From pretty much the first page Sara is on a hunt that turns quite entertaining and it didn't stop there.
I am enjoying this series, the whole tarot card thing is different to normal and though I know nothing of it, I'm learning little bits here and there.
Looking forward to reading more of Sara and the Magician, and whatever is currently blooming between them.
Off to start the last book in the trilogy boxset.

WHAAAA--IT CAN'T JUST END AT 96% AND LIKE THAT!! I was expecting it to carry on and for them to kick arse! Oh well, I'll just have to wait for book 3 in the series now wont I. *sigh*
I am still very much Team Roth. It was touch and go for a while but he won out in the battle of the two hotties. Sorry Zayne, but you just haven't got Roth's swagger and you may be sweet but Roth's just plain sexy.
I love this series!

Great to see familiar characters (1 more)
Seven has become totally kick-ass awesome!
I was a bit dubious to begin with, because Picard is such an iconic character and one of my absolute favourites. I didn't want that to be spoiled, luckily I was not disappointed.
Some of the things happening in the series seriously frustrated me - some of the pacing, things that happened with certain characters (Hugh!) and such.
However, despite it being an utter emotional rollercoaster, overall I think the series was excellent!

This series is my guilty pleasure. I shouldn't like it for what it's about but I can't help it. And HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!! What an ending!
This has got to be my favourite of the series so far. The build up throughout this one leading to that ending! OH.EM.GEE! Equally shocked and laughing at the same time :D
Can't wait to read the next one now, giddy with excitement about what's going to happen now most of them are dead and she's going to kill Dornan Ross!
What's next for Jase and Sammi/Julz?!?!

I bought this for my nieces to read on their joint Kindle to see if they liked the series and I thought I'd give it a go myself. I did read the first book in this series several years ago and enjoyed it but it isn't totally to my taste so I never went any further with it.
It was quick and rather fun. Percy is tasked with fetching one of Apollo's backing singers back from her escape to New York City where she's hoping to go solo.
