Is She Just Going to Get a New Potential Love Interest Each Book?

February 21, 2018 by Quorren 2 Comments

Why does Empire Strike Back work so well? Because each side story that one of the main characters is on is interesting and well-thought out. If Luke had gone to Dagobah and Han and Leia stayed brooding on the Falcon and moping about Luke being gone, and then there was a random story about a previously unknown Sith lord hanging out with his mean Stormtrooper friends, there would be no international phenomenon today. Anyways, this long and drawn out metaphor is how I feel about […]

When the Title of the Book Doesn’t Relate to the Book Itself But to What the Reader Feels While Reading It

February 21, 2018 by Quorren Leave a Comment

 It can be a crap shoot with Kindle First Reads, I know this. I once read a First Reads where the setting was high fantasy and everyone had weird, fantasy names except for one broad named Carol or Linda or something equally immersion disruptive. Unfortunately, this book also falls into the category of “glad I didn’t have to pay for this”. The premise is so good, though, with so much potential. But then again, I unabashedly loved Minority Report, so the summary that got me […]

Music is the Strongest Form of Magic

February 19, 2018 by Quorren 1 Comment

 To add to your reading experience, there’s a Spotify playlist for this book. It’s really only a playlist of songs mentioned in the book, though. I was hoping for songs that inspired the author or songs the author associated with each character, etc. I suppose I shouldn’t be criticizing some free book reading enhancement, but it feels like a half-assed effort. The book is set in the late 80’s, as CDs are becoming the performed platform for music. Frank owns a music shop on the […]

I Wanted an Out of Body Experience while Reading This Book

February 11, 2018 by Quorren Leave a Comment

 Gone Girl is on its way to becoming a modern classic. It breathed new life into the mystery genre, it took risks and it subverted cliches. So why am I talking about Gone Girl in a review for Behind Her Eyes? Because every suspense book put out today is trying to be the next Gone Girl and there’s no reason to have a subpar Gone Girl when Gone Girl already exists. Good character development and atmospheric writing all gets sacrificed because everyone has to outdo […]

Ostraconophobics Beware

February 4, 2018 by Quorren 2 Comments

It’s hard knowing where to begin with a Sanderson book. His name on a cover means that whatever you are about to commit to reading is going to be sweeping and epic. Even writing a summary would probably put me at a 2000 word count. Since I have no idea where to begin, I’m just going to jot down my thoughts in some bullet points. I can’t stand the Alethi. I know that to have a plot, there must be conflict and for the Alethi, […]
