Lights Out in Lincolnwood was one of the more original stories I read this year, and maybe not even just this year. I’m not quite sure I’ve read anything like it before! And I’m very glad I chanced upon this book, because not only was it snarky and kind of funny, but it was also serious in the way of,…

I couldn’t be more surprised about falling head over heels for Skyhunter – me, who is always cautious of YA – but I did. It’s really good! I was initially suspicious – I started it through an excerpt on NetGalley – and rated it 3 stars cause it failed to draw me in. But I still grabbed the audiobook review…

Sometimes we value things based on how much they cost us. We can’t really help it, it’s simply psychology, or maybe its societal. But that’s not always right, and it certainly wasn’t when it came to The Sundered. Because I got this book as a freebie or review copy before I even blogged, and let it sit unread on my…

Three Days Breathing is a really good book, but its also incredibly sad, painfully so. But it is definitely worth the read, provided you can stomach it and the heaviness of its contents. I would even say that this is as much a literary novel, considering its depth and topics, as it is a dystopian fantasy. I will definitely not…

Tomorrow Factory felt like such a catch when I got a review copy on Edelweiss. But then when I started reading it, it just failed to capture me. It’s written well, and the ideas are fresh and quite strong, but I guess in the end it just wasn’t for me. You’ll like it if you’re into the eerie and cold robotic…

This series is… ahem. Mostly interesting in the way The Strain series degrades as you go. Book one is promising! Book two is just plain boring and a little far fetched, plus you start getting mysoginy fatigue and realizing you have not seen a single non-white person yet. Book three? Pure bull. Pure, unadulterated, illogical nonsense. It was almost entertaining…

The Feed is a solid, well-written, but pretty traditional dystopian novel. Definitely recommended for dystopia fans! I expected something more ground-breaking from it, and maybe more powerful or adventure driven, but it’s more of a slice-of-life. However, I enjoyed this book, and I’ll try to give you my reasons why. Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★☆☆ 3 stars…

If you’re looking for something dark and mythological, lurking behind a corner… Something evil that is bigger than you, older than you and so much more immense… Then you’ve found it. I’ve got some reads for the darkest time of the year (the end of December IS known as the time of the longest and darkest nights…) So buckle up,…

Me and my friend / reader Struggling Writer buddy-read this book last month. And it was a blast! We’ve decided to do an interview-review, which means, I ask…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars Why is it that I can’t seem to be able to write a review for The Fifth Season for so long? I’ve finished it at the end of April, now it’s August, and lo and behold – the review has not materialized. …Why? I’ll tell you why. Because when…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars I find myself struggling to start this review. Because the book was just so unbelievable, I find myself at a lack of words. What would it be like to watch the end of the world as a bystander? As someone who has always thought that living that way was…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★☆☆☆☆ 1 star It is truly a sorry affair that most sequels just do not turn out right. Well, alright, not most. Some. Can we settle on a lot? I can start naming now, (The sequel to Blood Red Road, Metro 2034…) and I am sure you can carry on with this list to eternity.…

Check out on Goodreads ★★★✬☆ 3.5 stars Received in giveaway I have been reading this book for quite a while. The reason it took me so long though, was because I was listening to it on a reading app, rather than just reading. I have received this one on a giveaway. Having finished it, I was struggling with the rating…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars So. How does one start a review for a book as big as this one..? Wool by Hugh Howey feels like the best book I’ve had in my hands this year. I know it’s only April. But I don’t feel like I’ll read another one like it soon. Books like this…
