Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans
This is one of the most interesting premises I have ever encountered in fiction, and I was immediately drawn to the book when I heard about it. An afterlife of limbo, where memories are a currency and everyone blisses on recollections of their lives? How awesome, right? Level 2 is…

The Diviners by Libba Bray
Deliciously creepy and entertaining, The Diviners is not a book I’ll be forgetting any time soon. At just under 600 pages, it’s a long, spine-tingling read that will impress even the most discerning readers. The skill with which Libba Bray has executed this unique novel is to be commended, and…

The Rebel Prince by Celine Kiernan
I was looking forward to finally meeting Prince Alberon after reading about him in the previous two books. But when we meet him it is instantly clear that Alberon is no longer a boy, but rather a harsh and somewhat unhinged young man who is sure of his power as…
The Crowded Shadows by Celine Kiernan
Just like The Poison Throne, this book is heavily driven by its characters and their relationships. While the plot moves slowly and is punctuated with long discussions, readers are kept engaged by the interactions between characters. These discussions also provide insight into the politics and history of the world as…
The Poison Throne by Celine Kiernan
It’s the characters and their relationships that really make this book. Wynter’s relationship with Prince Razi, whom she calls ‘brother’, was especially sweet. I think they behaved very much like siblings. Her sudden and irrational jealousy of Christopher, Razi’s best friend, irritated me until I realised acts just like a…
