Books, Reading, and everything in between
"The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again."From Eye of the World by Robert Jordan I don't know about you, but when I read these words (which btw, are [...]
This book was so many things to me. It was poetic, beautiful, dark, edgy, funny, and most definitely brilliant. I've read many books by VE Schwab and all of them were great, but this book really takes the cake. I'm just so speechless. I don't think I can write a decent review for this. Here's [...]
The third book in the Ember in the Ashes series! With every book I read, I approach the ending of this series and I don't know if I'm ready to let this one go. It's been a long time since I've been enamored with an entire series (the last one being Throne of Glass, which [...]
If a Star Trek episode met Ripley in Aliens and then drove across the stars to follow some old alien relic only to incite a war, uncover a history that's never been unearthed, and have aliens and humans come together, then you get this book. It's an epic adventure across the stars as Christopher Paolini [...]
There's this mythological creature that lives within the East Asian countries. China, Korea, and Japan all have myths about this wild beast and so many interpretations. I've seen Chinese, Korean, and Japanese tv shows including this character. It is the nine-tailed fox. And this story written by Korean American, Kat Cho, is most definitely that [...]
Let me first start off by saying this is the book that's solidified my love of Sabaa Tahir and her ruthless writing. I don't think I've even read an author as brutal as she is with her characters. And I've read some "evil" authors in my time. Here's More About A Torch Against the Night [...]
This fast-paced graphic novel set in an alternate 1900s Asia will definitely have you on the edge of your seat. With nearly an entire cast of female characters, Monstress explores the world of a young woman who's slowly realizing that her mother left her with a little gift. This novel is atmospheric. The illustrations were [...]
I really went back and forth with my thoughts on this book. On one hand, I really liked it. On the other hand, I wasn't a fan of the writing style. I loved the surprises around every corner, but I also didn't like that everything (even characters) were a surprise. How do you enjoy a [...]
Over the last couple of months, I've tried to read The House in the Cerulean Sea three times. I tried twice with an audiobook and then once with the ebook I got from the library. Well, my brain wasn't really paying attention during the audiobook and my ebook was a loan from the library, so [...]
Honestly, from the first couple of pages, I was hooked on The Year of the Witching. It's not your average book about witches with more of a Salem witches vibe than a modern witches vibe. However, don't think that the puritanical church is the same as the one in real life. There are some similarities, [...]
