Lichgates by S. M. BoyceMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a fun adventure Kara's journey turned out to be. She's smart and sassy and this is how she looks to me:
Next is Braeden in one of his many forms:
Having just lost her mother, Kara is looking for an escape. When she goes hiking one fine afternoon and stumbles on a lichgate her life turns upside down. She is immediately drawn into an adventure of a lifetime and doesn't look back, well, mostly. She is trapped by a book that makes her its guardian. Along with the book comes a lot of responsibility, and I don't blame Kara for not wanting it. Kara faces many obstacles along her journey. I admire her spunk and resilience especially considering all she had to put up with from species she couldn't have previously immagined.
This story has more of an epic fantasy feel with rich description between vivid action. Boyce paints the world of Ourea with delicate strokes. Kara and Braeden are fun to follow and each brings an important roll to this story. I have to admit I wanted more romance, but that's just me. We do get a little toward the end, but I wanted more, dang it. As to the story as a whole, my only complaint is that a few things came too easily to Kara. I don't do spoilers, so you will just have to see if you come to the same conclusion. This wasn't much though, and it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. Overall rating 4.5 shining stars. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Treason Review:
Treason by S. M. BoyceMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Once again I found myself plummeting into the world of Ourea. Although I really enjoyed reading Lichgates, I loved Treason. In this installment we are past the set-up stage and right in the thick of the action and romance (hehe).
Kara and Braeden are back and stronger than ever. I loved the twists in the story and Boyce has an easy style that immerses the reader in the book. Ourea is a magical place, and this time around we get to see a bit more of it, especially the political underpinnings.
Kara finds herself in some pretty sticky situations in this book, and she is a great heroine. I loved her banter with Braeden and the subtle inner battle each of them played. Should they or shouldn't they be together?
The politics plays a big role in Treason as the title implies. Some of the twists are just amazing, and I can't wait to read Heritage. Boyce, you need to write faster :)

Asisten Pelatih Iran Mundur, Persiapan pun Terganggu
ReplyDeleteBerita terbaru dan terkini Piala Dunia dari Agen Bola indo11 - Persiapan Piala Dunia tim nasional Iran terganggu dengan pengunduran diri asisten pelatih Majid Salih.
Agen Bola indo11 Terpercaya - Dilaporkan, Salih sempat duduk di tribun dan tidak mendampingi pelatih Carlos Queiroz saat tim nasionalnya melakukan laga ujicoba di Austria.
Sang asisten kemudian memutuskan mundur ketika timnya kembali ke Iran, sebagaimana ia yang menjadi pembantu kedua setelah Omid Namazi yang memilih hengkang pada tahun ini.
Pengundurannya ini menjadi sebuah kejutan karena kurang dari dua minggu Iran bakal menghadapi Nigeria di laga pembuka Piala Dunia pada 16 Juni.
