This is a young adult fantasy book that revolves around a group of six “friends” that go on a heist. I loved this book! Five out of five stars! It was so good. It is a little confusing because the book is written assuming the reader knows background of the world, however I did not read the Shadow and Bone trilogy before this. However, it is not difficult to catch on with the help of google and reading on. The author did a really good job, in my opinion, writing the characters and showing their growth and development. It’s also very nice how the author writes the friendships and relationships. I love the characters and feel the emotion. Beautifully written! Definitely recommend to fantasy fanatics.

This retelling of the Iliad from the point of view of a female Trojan captive has an interesting concept but I felt it went on way too long.

Two strangers meet in a London airport, but are they really strangers? She has secrets. He is unhappy. It all leads to murder. The book was ok, but not great.

Predictable and Disappointing. A nice feel good book, but I expected more.

I have enjoyed this author’s previous books so I decided to try this one. The musical parts are very interesting, but it goes off on a weird comic book adventure that ruined it for me.

My first impression as I started Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman was this is a farce and I am being fooled. It was light silly reading. While I was never quite sure of the ending, I found it contrived. I found the novel not intriguing. Since I didn't have anything else to read, I figured might as well read Murder Takes A Vacation to the end.
