Having read the other three books in the Cosmere series, I figured I might as well finish off the 4th book in the set. While I loved Tress of the Emerald Sea and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, I didn’t quite care for The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England. I wondered if The … Continue reading Book Review: The Sunlit Man: A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson

Book Review: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter – A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
Another of Brandon Sanderson’s Secret Project books, I was curious to see how this one would turn out. While I didn’t much care for The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook, I absolutely loved Tress of the Emerald Sea so I had mixed expectations going into this. The premise was interesting and considering the creativity in the first … Continue reading Book Review: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter – A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
Romance novels were never really stories I had taken much interest in. While I do appreciate romance in stories I’ve read, I’ve always stayed clear of romance centered novels as they often tend to focus more on the physical side of romance while I prefer the tender and sentimental moments instead. With that being said, … Continue reading Book Review: Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
Book Review: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England (Secret projects #2) by Brandon Sanderson
Normally when reading a novel by Brandon Sanderson, I expect to have a pretty enjoyable time reading it. When he wrote three books during quarantine, I was fairly excited to read them. I absolutely love the other books he had written and Tress of the Emerald Sea which was the first of his Secret Project … Continue reading Book Review: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England (Secret projects #2) by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: The Legacy of Yangchen by F.C. Lee
Writing about the expanded history of the Avatar The Last Airbender really allows for the exploration of the darker parts of the established world. Continuing Yangchen’s story tells a story far more foreboding and bleaker than one would expect. The Avatar stories tend to be more focused on overt and bombastic adventures and even the … Continue reading Book Review: The Legacy of Yangchen by F.C. Lee
Book Review: Tress of the Emerald Sea: A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
This is not a book, on paper (ironic I know), that I should have enjoyed. There’s so much absurdity and randomness to it, strange conveniences and surprising developments, honestly things that few writers could ever pull off. Yet here we have a book by Brandon Sanderson that, not only includes all these things, but does … Continue reading Book Review: Tress of the Emerald Sea: A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
Story Musing: Additive Worldbuilding
Worldbuilding is one of the most difficult challenges an author can face. It’s a multifaceted problem as it requires a full and clear understanding of the setting being developed for the story to function within. It’s even more difficult when the world the story takes place in is entirely fictional. To consider the complexity a … Continue reading Story Musing: Additive Worldbuilding
Book Review: The Dawn of Yangchen by F.C. Lee
Another book exploring one of the past Avatars from the popular series Avatar The Last Airbender, I couldn’t help but pick it up for myself. Something that is quite interesting I hadn’t realized was that the avatar series has a unique advantage for a prequel that many prequels often don’t. Outside of Avatar Roku, we … Continue reading Book Review: The Dawn of Yangchen by F.C. Lee
Book Review: Ruination by Anthony Reynolds
The world of Runeterra has always been a setting I’ve absolutely adored. The main reason I ever played the game League of Legends was because I loved the world and the characters within it. When the tv series Arcane came out, I absolutely fell in love with the world once more even though I don’t … Continue reading Book Review: Ruination by Anthony Reynolds
Book Review: Harley Merlin #8 – Harley Merlin and The Challenge of Chaos by Bella Forrest
After a rather long hiatus, I thought to get back into reading and writing by continuing the Harley Merlin series. Truth be told it was far more difficult than I expected. An author typically has a planned length for how long their series would be and, as one would expect, it would feel like it … Continue reading Book Review: Harley Merlin #8 – Harley Merlin and The Challenge of Chaos by Bella Forrest
