I really needed some light reading and this is perfect. A young girl whose magic power involves having a strong affinity with animals. Every animal character is awesome. It is adorable.

Child with animal powers is always awesome. I would of loved reading this as a kid. I wish someone had given them to me then. But at least I get to discover them now.
A very cool, magical and sexy book. I lost a lot of sleep staying up late reading into the night. It was very hard to put down once I started reading.
Damn this book is incredibly sexy. Sensual is probably a better word but to be concise it is sexy. And no there has been NO sex in it so far. Things can be sexy AF and there never actually be any sex. If you don't understand how that is then you probably just don't have a very sexy imagination and I'm sorry.

This is the most well written fairy tale centered on how a violent rape causes severe trauma to the heroines mind. The magic bits thrown in feel raw, emotional, and powerful as they should for such a dark tale. It is a beautiful story. I wish I had read this many years ago.

Finally a story I can identify with and a main character who is a 17 year old girl whom I can identify with so completely. This has never happened before in all the books I have ever read. This book was written for me. I have to read every book by this author.

This is so terribly written I can't go any further. Something about the way Morte is talking to his female dog friend is pissing me off. This feels like it was written very fast and like the author did not give a shit. So I don't want to give a shit either and read anymore. I was looking forward to finishing this series but I've got to spend my time with some better stuff.
An upcoming novella set in Temerant centred around Bast. Illustrated by Nate Taylor.
A great little cute book to read in 1 day. It makes me wish Rothfuss would write more because his books are very satisfying and warm like sitting next to a fire on a cold night. This one is particularly comfy and sweet.

I need something less heavy to read and that is fun. Sanderson is always my go to for this.
This book is making me hate Carl Jung so much. I am so furious about what he did to Spielrein. I'm not even that far into the book and I'm ready to scream at every Jungian alive "Your hero was a predator! Stop worshipping him!" I'm going to be a ball of rage by the end of this book. I want to type out a string of curse words to express my rage but I'm sure you understand I'm just screaming all of it in my head as I'm reading this book.

I love Ursula but this has been my least liked book of hers so I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. I enjoyed the heavy intellectual ideas. I enjoyed the romance. I was utterly destroyed that she made this main character who I had thoroughly liked, out of nowhere sexually assault a woman because he experiences alcohol for the first time in his life. The way it's written is really fucking blaming the woman victim character while our main character dude just gets to brush it off and go on with his life as the hero and doesn't even think about this incident for even one goddamn second for the rest of the book. I know Ursula took some serious thoughts about feminism later in life and made some apologies and changes in her writing with the Earthsea series which I thought was wonderful. I really wish she had taken the time to go back and edit or at least write an apology about this. It fucking sucks. The rest of the story is great. This one scene should be deleted. It's fucking horrible. And no it's totally not believable that creating an anarchist communist society would suddenly erase rape and that rape is just an invention of capitalism and greed. Yea no. I can't bite down on that idea at all. The other heavy ideas make sense but only up to a point and then it's just like trying to say capitalism causes humans to rape. Like no fuck you. Rapists are psychopaths. They are the same as murderers. They are born with it in their brain. They cannot feel empathy. They are predators. Society can't make them do it or not do it. They exist in every society through all time. They can't be fixed either. And a man who is absolutely loving to his true love, his little daughters will not just suddenly sexually assault a woman because he got exposed to capitalism and alcohol and "went crazy." Fucking bullshit rape apology sexist bullshit. And then feel absolutely no remorse about it? Cmon!!
