Psy-Changeling 18: Wolf Rain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another book finished thanks to travel time for work combined with my preference for reading when I have some coherent downtime available. This was a fast read to pick up respectively even with shorter travel time.
Alexei may think his family is cursed, but that's not going to stop Memory. Likewise, Memory may think that she's broken and harmful to the Psy Net, but Alexei isn't going to let that negative view stand. These two end up good for each other on so many levels that it leaves for a very entertaining ride as they both learn about each other and themselves. Both of their pasts will come up to various degrees, and it will take some fast SnowDancer action to keep Memory's past from stealing their future. At the end of the day though, it seems as if Memory could be a rather large missing piece to the puzzle of how to save the Psy Net from total collapse. Time will tell how that continue to unfurl in future books as this world continues to build and evolve with each new installment.

Another merge game similar to Mergical, Merge Magic and Merge Dragon. Of the four, it's my least favorite unfortunately. The graphics are bulky and unattractive. The storage buildings are not entirely intuitive. The merge works tend to lag be somewhat stubborn with actually merging. The merge numbers also seem to not add up entirely. Most of the other games, if you merge 5+ of the items, you get double or more of the merged up items you are creating. This one seems to debate how many items you'll get for each merge. The level challenges are easy, tough that's to be more expected earlier on in the game. So far, that's about all it has going for it, making it likely this will not be one of the games kept for very long.

Similar in style to Merge Magic and Merge Dragons. The game play is a little more bulky and the merges can be difficult to trigger at times which is aggravating. The gardeners also seem to take more time with their progress than most others, though the levels so far seem easier to make sense of and earn chests on than the other games.

Kind of a reversed Tetris idea here. The idea was intriguing and sounded amusing, so thought I'd give it a try. Very similar to Slidey in some regards, just with more of a Tetris feel and no cats or shamans. Not sure this is one I'll keep, but it's entertaining.

Black Dagger Brotherhood 16.5: Prisoner of Night
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Work ate my life and it took me far too long to finish reading this. A long plane ride for a work trip gave me just the opportunity to finish however. Ahmare and Duran aren't as interesting as the Brotherhood initially, but they draw attention the more that their story unfolds. Neither had a very easy lot in life for very different reasons, but they come together into an odd sort of family as they save Ahmare's brother and find Duran's one friend from the compound he grew up in as they make their grand escape, freeing several others along the way and even making a new friend among the guards who were supposed to potentially kill them. It's likely all of their little rag-tag group will have nightmares for some time for various reasons. Of course, it wouldn't be a Black Dagger Brotherhood book without some pair being made through the story.
