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. It'll give me time to write a more insightful review that is worth reading. I'll have … Continue reading Book Review Delay by a Day
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. It was so different from the traditional Young Adult books and dealt with very serious issues of PTSD and emotional scarring. What made it even more impactful were how endearing the characters were and how invested … Continue reading Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Lightning Thief
Truth be told, I didn’t know what to really expect when I picked up the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan. I’m a big mythology fan and I loved spending hours learning more about the history and tales of old mythological sources. This in mind, it felt like Riordan’s books would be a perfect match … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Lightning Thief
Book Review: Loki, Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
Loki was always one of the more interesting villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Where other various generic villains in the Marvel movies like Malekith (would not be surprised if you had to look that up, I did just to be sure) are rather forgettable, Loki was always a fan favorite. 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
Book Review: The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee
Ever since I was a kid, Avatar The Last Airbender had been one of my favorite tv shows and series of all time. The storytelling started off slow but had become one of the most impactful stories I had ever experienced. Each of the characters were special in their own right and seeing them grow … Continue reading Book Review: The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee
Book Review: Soul of the Sword (Shadow of the Fox #2) by Julie Kagawa
Having loved how Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa, I picked up the sequel with no hesitation at all. I’m a sucker for anything involving mythology and YA fantasy, especially a story with characters as lovable as Yumeko and Tatsumi. Diving into Kagawa’s crafted world once more, I enjoyed the heart pounding journey of … Continue reading Book Review: Soul of the Sword (Shadow of the Fox #2) by Julie Kagawa
Book Review: Dark Shores by Danielle L. Jensen
A story referencing meddlesome Gods and deep fantasy elements, I picked up Dark Shores by Danielle L. Jensen with excitement. While it isn’t exactly what I expected I did enjoy it for what it was, a story of ultimatums and tough choices with interesting characters and a fascinating world. Character Development 10/10 There’s a great … Continue reading Book Review: Dark Shores by Danielle L. Jensen
