More reviews at Rondo of a Possible World: YA Book Reviews Action-packed, thickening plot, three-dimensional characters, and humor drizzled on each character, Fullmetal Alchemist is a book that should definitely be read by all. Left me with tears in my eyes and a warm heart for every character that you meet along Ed and Al's long journey.

I found this entertaining, particularly for anyone who loves reading (which I'm sure is everyone on Goodreads), even if it's in the same generic vein as most shojo. As per usual in most serialized manga, whether oriented toward girls or boys, the main character is somewhat bland, has some skills, but her only notable good quality, which is even spelled out in the text, is that she never gives up, since we like giving children The Little Engine that Could message. Kasahara is basically like a commando/librarian version of Naruto, minus a demon that she can channel to give her power. I acknowledge that main characters in these types of serialized works are normally bland with a slew of insecurities to be more broadly appealing to their target audience, in this case, bookish pre-teen girls, but it still bugged me that the main character was just kind of...lame. The straight-A Tezuka, the only recruit other than Kasahara to be selected to serve on the elite taskforce, is a jerk, but I couldn't help myself agreeing with his assessment of Kasahara as kind of a lazy airhead. I hope that as the series progresses, Kasahara (and all the others) becomes not only a better-developed character, but a kick-ass librarian ;p This was nothing particularly unique or creative in this series's first volume, with the main character's motivational prince reminiscent of other shojo (and Utena, even though that was a deconstructed use of the manga prince archetype), and a love interest that the main character "hates," but with whom I am sure she will end up falling in love. All of these seemingly terrible things said, it's only a first volume, and I think that the series has the potential to become much more interesting depending on character and plot development. I would definitely like to see an examination of the politics and power struggles of censorship that are touched upon, and even if the series doesn't get drastically better, it'll be fun to read more of a "fighting" series about books.

Loved, loved, loved this. Such a unique take on Angels. Great characters and awesome romance. Review to come.

One of my all-time favorites. Cried and cried and cried and not ashamed to admit it.

Urban fantasy fans, rejoice! Ilona Andrews latest Kate Daniels story is kick a$$ from start to finish. This series has a bit of romance (so far without consummation, but still hot), a heaping helping of humor, more paranormal critters than you can shake a stick at, a heroine who's a trained killer with a conscience, and enough high drama and action for anybody. In other words, if you like fantasy, urban fantasy, etc...go get this series. Kate's had a rough week. Waves of magic are wreaking havoc in Atlanta and she hasn't been able to go even half a day without some strange smelling blood fouling her clothes and shoes. The last thing she wants is a call from Saiman--a morphing creature who's developed the hots for her. But Saiman has caught her friend Derek breaking Pack law and Kate can't bear the thought of what Curran the Beast Lord would have to do to punish him. Not to mention Curran seems to be treating Kate like a potential Alpha mate...and she's not a were! The chain of events continues downhill and now Derek's barely alive, Kate's hiding from Curran, and it looks like the only way to save her friends will be for Kate to reveal herself to her nemesis. I love this series. The stories aren't overly long or elaborate; yet they're as intricate and tightly woven as any reader could wish for. Each book reveals a few more tidbits about Kate's life, her past, and her possible futures. The action is non-stop yet it's not til the end of the book that you grasp the detailed sequence of events and decisions that have dovetailed into an exquisite finale. Yes, this story is finished, but there's no doubt that we still have further adventures with Kate to enjoy. For me, there's not enough stars for this series.
