Hey y’all- long time, no read! I took some time off from reviewing while on vacation, then let vacation mind take over all of my non-work mind and found myself in a reviewing hole. Then, work swallowed me whole. I started writing this on August 9th. Just finishing it now on the 29th-Cait Also, I haven’t been reading reviews here either, so be prepared for a wave of comments coming your way! Good news: I truly enjoyed all seven of these books. One was a […]

The Big Nothing

The Incendiaries by R. O. Kwon

August 5, 2019 by blauracke Leave a Comment

A university student who blames herself for her mother’s death becomes more and more involved in a dangerous cult’s activities that begin to veer ever closer towards terrorism. There are some big topics being tackled here, be it fanaticism, cults, the loss of faith, or the search for some greater purpose. Not one of those topics, however, is being handled with the care and precision they warrant, on the contrary, everything is just mixed together and treated in the most superficial way.

What happens is, I look over these lists of “best books of XYZ” and chuck them all on my hold list at the library because why not, forgetting […]
