The Percy Jackson series continues to surprise me with how much I’ve been enjoying it. I’ve always been a sucker for an Odyssey style of story, one where the heroes travel from place to place and explore the world. In that respect, The Sea of Monsters does not disappoint. While there is some more world building and … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Sea of Monsters

Book Review Delay by a Day
Hi Everyone! Sorry to do this, but this week got away from me a bit. Rather than rush the book I'm reading which is a disservice to the author, I decided to take a day to finish reading it.

Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
The first book in the series, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, is one of my favorite books of all time.

His story is much … Continue reading Book Review: Loki, Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff has been a book on my to-read list for a while now. Reading the book blurb, it was hard not to not to be excited for it. The concept reminded me a lot of a Firefly or Voltron esque story. A crew of misfit characters banding together … Continue reading Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Book Review: Gears of War Ascendance by Jason M. Hough
This was a rather odd choice of material to read but I was very curious about how a book based off of a video game would read. Can a story based off of a video game hold the same weight as a story bound only to literature? Different forms of media lend themselves to different … Continue reading Book Review: Gears of War Ascendance by Jason M. Hough
