The Name of the Wind is one of my favorite books of all time. I will never got over how beautiful Rothfuss's prose is, and his attention to detail blows me away. Every time I reread these books I find something new to love.

Cruel Beauty | Rosamund Hodge

Cruel Beauty is my most recent read, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, with bits of Greek mythology mixed in. There were bits of this I enjoyed, but the character "development" felt rushed in several parts and I couldn't make myself care about most of the characters.

When I pick up a new high fantasy series, I expect it to start slowly. There's generally a lot of worldbuilding, particularly in the first 100 pages. Despite that expectation, I was often annoyed at the pace (or lack thereof) of the book. I'm going to give the second one a try soon, hoping that I'll enjoy it more than the first.

The Invisible Library | Genevieve Cogman

As a bibliophile, there are very few things more appealing to me than a magic system based on language, and a group of librarian spies. Add to that the diverse and intriguing cast of characters and I was immediately excited to read the rest of these.

Life's a Beach | Claire Cook

I didn't really enjoy this book. The characters were quirky but largely one-dimensional, and there wasn't much of a plot. I didn't particularly like the main character (a forty-year-old woman living above her parents' garage and behaving like a child), and by the end of the book, I still didn't care about her or any of the other characters.

Heartless | Marissa Meyer

Pickpick

I read the Lunar Chronicles last year and really enjoyed them. I like retellings in general, and Marissa Meyers's retellings are really well done. I've been excited about Heartless since it was first announced, but hesitant to actually start it because I knew it couldn't possibly have a happy ending. (I mean, what happy story ends with the words "off with her head".) Full review on my blog habitualrereader.blogspot.com
