I enjoyed the first book in this series enough to immediately get the second book. Luckily my library had a copy. Libraries ftw! I’m happy to say that I enjoyed The Undoing even more than The Unleashing. The plot was just a bit tighter and the ending, while still pretty open, felt like it had more emotional closure. This book centers on Jace Berisha. She’s been a Crow for a few years, ever since her husband successfully killed her. After an upbringing in a cult […]
Best case zombies
3.5 stars. This book was a complete surprise and a total delight. Gobbled it up in one day because it was basically literary candy. Like, really well made gourmet level candy. I think it was recommended on a Book Riot podcast a while back and I thought, ooh, that sounds interesting. It was perfect timing for it to come up in my library holds for the weekend. Kera Watson is a tough lady. She served in Afghanistan in the Marines and now being back in […]
Stories About Technology and Discovery
The e-book version that I got from my library was actually titled Arrival, with the note that it had been previously published as Stories of Your Life, and I got it because I wanted to read the story that the movie Arrival was based on, so I’ll start with that one. It’s titled “Story of Your Life,” and it’s good. I think the movie is better, which I don’t usually think, but I also don’t usually see the movie before reading the book. I don’t want to spoil […]
Hey, guess what this was super good.
I kind of don’t even know where to begin with this review. I’ve started half a dozen paragraphs while sitting here, and then deleted them all. Like, who wants to be the jerk who thinks one of their favorite authors took up another author’s life’s work and then did it better? But . . . UGH, I do think that! I do. I don’t think it’s any secret that I’ve had issues pretty much the whole way through the first eleven books of this series. […]
“Stand up and do better.
Hoo boy! This 1200 page tome is going to be a doozy to try to review without spoiling but I’ll give it the old college try. Brandon Sanderson’s third installment of the Stormlight Archive is full of its share of world building, plot twists and some honest to goodness character development. I’ll try to keep things vague and broad but A LOT happens in this book. *some spoilers for the first two books ahead* Oathbringer picks up shortly after the events of Words of […]
The Gifts and Curses of our Ancestors
It’s no secret or shock to anyone with a decent knowledge of history that America is a country built on the backs of enslaved people. When Michelle Obama, speaking at the DNC in 2016, stated that slaves built the White House, it generated waves of shock and faux outrage. How dare she point out a historical fact. I remember not being surprised by her statement at the time nor thinking it should be particularly shocking to anyone, but it was for white people who didn’t […]
