I enjoyed this series and I hope that it is continued. I would like to know what happens to Billy, SGT Gibbs and of course, Jason.  Hopefully, Catherine and Kevin will rebuild Hillsboro. And BTW I would like to see CPT Roper get everything that he has coming. :-) Hint, hint!!!!! I don't like dirty cops or dirty military.  Looking forward to the rest of these books.

The latest in the Chronicles of Elantra picks up with Kaylin looking for a new place to live, and finding that the search is complicated due to roommate issues. As with most books in this series, a few innocent-seeming events turn into catastrophic chaos.

No new significant characters are introduced in this book, but we do get to see further development of characters introduced in the last book.

This book is solid, but it does bring up an issue that I've had with the series as a whole - Kaylin ends up dashing from one disaster to the next at a speed that is unrealistically sustained. The entire in-world duration of the series to this point is measured in months, and most of the books involve a world-threatening event with Kaylin in the middle.

In the end, I look forward to reading the next installment in this series, but I don't find myself desperately craving it. Which is probably a good thing, since it will be another year, and I get tired of reading series that leave me on the edge for multiple years at a time.

I hope there will be more in the near future. A series like this should continue on.  Thank you for sharing.

Having read the second book in this series, I must give kudos to Ms. McCullough, who churned out two of these behemoths in a short amount of time. Most writers would sacrifice actual depth and structure to get them out by a certain date. Ms. McCullough did no such thing and she deserves all the credit she can get.

Though I liked the second book more than the first, I still only gave it four stars (perhaps add a fourth or a third of a star to that) for losing my attention a couple of times along the way. Despite a few moments of boredom, I was enthralled enough by the characters and the plot to recommend it to readers hoping to expand the horizons of history, especially to places fewer people seem to go to these days.

I must say I've learned so much by this series so far, that I almost forget that it is fiction, since the author stays true to the facts, another thing many authors can oversee when creating historical works of fiction. I will continue with this series, perhaps read the third book at the end of the year, but now I wish to read something a little shorter. Her books are like a marathon, you are quite tired at the end, but happy with the accomplishment of completing it.

Sometimes, with a series like this, things drag on too long. A dedicated fan base will carry it past its intended life and the stories lose their ability to captivate. This is not the case with this series. The character development is deep enough that even fringe characters gain an invested interest. The world is more than surface deep, and continues to develop, and it's not the same ol' fight every time. And the best part--it's funny. Even in the midst of what could be a plot that takes itself way too seriously, the characters have quips, arguments, and internal dialogue that is just plain entertaining. Looking forward to the next one!

I  have loved this series and look forward to book 8.  It is rare for me not to become bored with a series this long, but other than some brief times of repetition, and a few too many tears, I found the book intriguing.  Ginny has  a wonderful way of portraying the many sides of the North and South in her characters.  She doesn't hold back on the truth either.  My favorite character is Matthew the reporter, who manages to see all sides, and still retain his own honor and compassion.

The fourth tome in the series is really only a partial update on events since the last book. It covers only a portion of the characters still alive, focusing on Cersei, Arya, Sansa, and Brienne from the female contingent, and Samwell and Jamie, from the male side. If you are looking for significant updates on any of the characters, you will have to wait for the next book in the series. Overall, the plot continues the aftermath of the major battles with rising political factions where power vacuums have opened up and unrest beginning to build in the survivors. We see a new leader being chosen for the Iron Islands, political intrigue builds at King's Landing between two queens, Dorne has a princess with agenda to unbalance the power in Westeros, and the siege continues in the Riverlands. It is hard to go into much detail without giving much away, but suffice it to say that the author continues to deal death and destruction as he wishes, regardless of how major a character may seem, and is willing to completely drop a long developing plot line as well. While enormous in length, the alternating character chapters do help move the story along. Several of the characters that I really like and some others are left in dire straits by the end of the book, leaving you hanging for the next installment. I fear that one of my favorite characters may be doomed. Up until the last few chapters, there is not a lot of plot movement. While I appreciate the large scope of this series, it can be frustrating to deal with, especially with the considerable time investment involved in reading these books.

I continue to love this series. The events can still surprise, even as I guess others. I find many ways in which the story lends itself to drawing parallels with real life situations, which I appreciate.
With so many different storylines, and principal characters, it is becoming a little harder to keep track, and less time is spent on individual character development. But these are the same characters we've already come to know intimately in previous volumes.
I look forward to reaching the resolution of this story, but I am beginning to suspect that I may not find it as fulfilling as I have been hoping for.

unlikely as it would be, I found myself rooting for the two main characters to stay together and begin a better life. Looking forward to starting book 3.

Early on, the author devotes almost too much time (in my opinion) to setting the scene, but once that's done the story picks up nicely.  I'm hoping the extended scene setting means the author is paving the way to more books with these characters, though!  I'd rank the alternative world creation up there with those of Will Shetterly, Terri Windling, and Emma Bull, so if you like those authors, you will almost certainly enjoy this one.  Definitely hoping for a sequel or three.

I'm hoping there will be more in this series. I hope it keeps going for a good long time like the Sisterhood series.

I love space operas, and this is a fine intro to a series that has a lot of promise. I'm writing this just after reading the first book, so I can't speak for the rest of the series. My one criticism is that I can't help feeling like this whole book was a lot of process and exposition for a relatively small part of the overall bigger arc of what was going on. Still, the characters are reasonably believable and well developed for this genre, the political tension feels believable, and the ideas about morality, redemption, and connection are all present and vital without being overbearing. I am looking forward to learning more about the solar system as imagined in the series!

I love Josi Kilpack's Sadie Hoffmiller culinary mystery series, and I loved the first book of the Newport Ladies Book Club series, Olivia by Julie Wright, so I was really looking forward to reading this book. We were first introduced to Daisy as we met Olivia and the other women in the forthcoming volumes of the series, though her membership in the book club. In the earlier book, we only learned the highlights of Daisy's situation, a nearly empty-nester, ready to take on being a grandmother, when a surprise happens that will once again change her life. I will admit it took me longer to get into Daisy's story than I thought it would, perhaps because I had so little in common with her, but by page 50 the story was sailing along and I looked forward to seeing how she tackled the problems that were being thrown at her. By the end, I was satisfied, although anxious to see what would happen in Daisy's future (which I'm hoping with come in later books in the series, which I also hope will have a long, happy future), and ready to revisit the same time frame and learn more about Paige and the new man who comes into her life.
