Winter's Heart (The Wheel of Time #9) by Robert Jordan

Also, the character development has reached a level where readers can actually identify characters by their speech, mannerisms and actions. It's the height of realism.

The Sandman Volumes 1-2 Comics vs. TV Series

I will compare the movie and the comic books because, yes, while I liked watching the characters come to life on screen, I did have some gripes with it.

An Echo of Things to Come (The Licanius Trilogy #2) by James Islington

One of the times I love about this book is how each character is unique and has a purpose; none of them is a filler; they each have something important to contribute to the story.

The House of Shells by Efua Traore

As usual, I have nothing but praise for Efua's writing. It's easy to read, and you're sure to stay glued to the story.

The Atlas Six (The Atlas #1) by Olivie Blake

The author’s style of writing and world-building is not unnecessarily complex, making the book an easy read. The switch in POVs makes for an exciting change in pace and format throughout the book. Nico, Libby, and Reina’s POVs are baseline YA, while Callum, Parisa, and Tristan lend more jaded experiences.

African Myths and Fantasy

African Myth is being systematically erased, and Fantasy becoming more 'modern' and cosmopolitan.

The Wisdom of Crowds (The Age of Madness #3) by Joe Abercrombie

The bloodthirsty deviousness and callousness that came to Rikke and Leo ( I spare no sympathy for him anyway), the kindness that would sometimes peek through Savine's hard veneer - it was just too much for my poor heart to handle.

The Trouble With Peace (The Age of Madness #2) by Joe Abercrombie

The parts that stuck out the most for me were the war depictions. Abercrombie writes them so well I felt I was at the front lines - the racing thoughts in the heads of the soldiers as they rush headlong to certain death - it was very detailed and a tad personal.

Phoenix Unbound (Fallen Empire #1) by Grace Draven

Every year, each village is required to send a young woman to the Empire's capital - her fate: to be burned alive for the entertainment of the masses. For the last five years, one small village's tithe has been the same woman. Gilene's sacrifice protects all the other young women of her village, and her […]

Red Winter: The Complete Trilogy (Red Winter Trilogy #1-3) by Annette Marie

Hello humans! Do you ever have a feeling that something so good could be a lie, but then it turns out not to be a lie? Well, that's how this book was for me. With every installment, it just kept getting better.  Okay time for a fun fact about this  Unicorn: I love Japan and […]

Tolkien, Our God

So rich and striking is the world of adventure he created that it is hard not to compare recent literary works with his. Perhaps he did create the One Book to rule them all.
