Book Review: The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

Finally a new Sanderson book! It feels like it was months ago that I finished the second Mistborn trilogy - or years even! I think I started my Sanderson journey with Skyward? A book I got from one of my sisters for Christmas ages ago. She only knew that I wanted a book, and that... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz

This is so fun! Why donโ€™t I read more teenage books? Iโ€™d all started at my local shopping mall โ€“ thereโ€™s a bookshelf there where people can leave behind books theyโ€™re finished with and browse for something new โ€“ and itโ€™s all free! (Obviously). I walked past an afternoon and saw two titles that immediately... Continue Reading →

Book Review: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

Well, this wasโ€ฆ interesting. Let me just start with saying that Iโ€™m a massive fan of Justin Cronin. His The Passage and the rest of that trilogy is large responsible for me finding back to my love of reading after not touching a single lick of fiction while I went to university. I spent so...

Book Review: Point Blanc by Anthony Horowitz

This made me feel like a teenager again! Even though I don't recall ever having heard the name Anthony Horowitz before, I recognized the title Point Blanc when I walked past the free-secondhand-books shelf in my local shopping mall, so I figured... why not? So I picked up this, as well as Skeleton Key by... Continue Reading →

Book Review: The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss

A-Tier Fantasy! Even if the third book never comes out these two books will live with me forever. Patrick Rothfuss surprised me with The Name Of The Wind. I didn't know what to expectโ€”I'd heard great things of course, so I knew I was even in for a treat, but I also knew a lot... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris

Whoa... what a huge disappointment. I... I don't know what happened.ย I devoured Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. After reading that I couldn't wait to get started on Hannibal, which ended up being just as good as, if not better than the... Continue Reading →

Book Review: The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

Whoa, where do I even start? Probably one of the best fantasy books... ever? I've heard the name Patrick Rothfuss been thrown around for a while now. I have no idea how long exactly, not since I was very young, but definitely for years, and there was always two things that were mentioned in the... Continue Reading →
