A lighthearted take on kaijus with minimal character and story development. Still, it may be a good read as long as you aren't expecting anything too serious.
This final book in the A Man of His Word series should have ended with a bang. Instead, it was barely a fizzle. A good series, but not great, and not one I would say is a must-read.
Sometimes a book just doesn’t work; this is one of those times. The Bard’s Blade may be the beginning of an exciting epic fantasy adventure for some, but I’m concluding my foray into this series with this first book.
An alternative take on the Father of Christmas that ultimately comes across as droll and uninteresting.
A very cool premise that fails in the execution step. It's an enjoyable, albeit forgettable, read.
A fairy tale type of story that is likable enough, even if it is marred by some unlikable characters.
Geralt remains AWOL for much of this book, which really is a shame because he has so much potential as a main POV character. Unfortunately, Time of Contempt continues the downward slide in ratings for this series.
Jilted storytelling and a main character who is missing for much of the book makes Blood of Elves a two rocket read for me.
A promising series fizzles out for me almost from the get-go in this second book in the Dark Tower series.
The War of the Rohirrim reaffirms the enduring allure of Middle-earth and its many untold stories.
Red Country is a strong addition to Joe Abercrombie’s body of work.
A rich and immersive experience.
The film’s philosophical depth makes it a memorable, if imperfect, addition to the sci-fi genre.
A strong, if imperfect, installment in the MCU.
A taut, compelling examination of warfare that never loses sight of the human cost.
A Little Hatred proves fantasy can evolve beyond medieval stasis.
A masterful continuation of Abercrombie's exploration of the First Law universe.
A visually mesmerizing but narratively flawed experience.
A Short Walk Through a Wide World offers a journey well worth taking.
