A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the latest entry into one of the most wonderful fantasy series out there (starts with The Queen's Thief).
Turner never shies away from love or hard choices and give real insight into politics and kingship--all while having the most engaging, real characters with flaws and gifts we recognize. It made me want to read the series all over again--to spend time in that world, with those characters, that writing...love you, MWT!

Voices of Dragons

Voices of DragonsVoices of Dragons Voices of Dragons by Carrie Vaughn


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A very good entry into dragon lore, an alternate world where dragons emerge from hiding after the nuclear bombs of WWII, adding their own flames and fire. The Cold War is with dragons, a very uneasy peace exists, with humans pushing the boundaries. Into this world an adolescent human girl and an adolescent dragon form a questioning and illegal friendship that brings possibilities of both war and peace--and of course, humans flying with dragons! Woo-hoo!
