This was so perfect and really reminded me a lot of one of the installments of pirates of Caribbean almost. It was darker than I expected but was so perfect for a high adventure almost pirate style story. So glad I own this cause I could see myself rereading this. Definitely recommend this classic 100x over
I flew through this one. I just could not put it down and ignored so many responsibilities because it gripped me. I was fascinated by all the recollection of memories and the characters interacting and then the big reveal hit and I about dropped my jaw on the floor. I have read books like this and they were done in a different way than this one but I think I found this literary fiction to be absolutely fascinating. I am so glad I knew nothing going into this one and I powered through to page 80 because 80 to the end made it worth the entire read. I was getting exhausted and bored from the beginning pieces but it made all the more sense that build and I applaud ishiguro for that. Just wow. I've seen this title shared literally everywhere and was curious but this one lives up to the hype.
The trauma and the events and the unfolding of just about everything that happened within this book had my blood boiling the entire time. The character amir I hated him from start to finish and feeling like self righteous individual just made me hate him more. I really don't know why people recommend books like this, this is on my level of disgust with a little life. I would never recommend this or a little life to anyone. Yeah I'll say it it's trauma porn and unnecessarily doesn't need to be written. I'm going to go throw up now from what I just read.
I've never read anything like this and honestly going completely blind was the best experience for this one. I can't wait to dive into the remainder of this book set. The technology was really cool and loved how I felt immersed in this post-apocalyptic world learning more about Fever. Definitely a great start to my journey of Steampunk
This author is what I needed in my life. His books are just so incredibly entertaining and well written and so so good. I am sad this got consumed within 2 days because I loved this as much as the dungeon crawler carl series. I will be purchasing this book so I can reread in the future. Such a good book. The computer was my favorite lol.
What an incredible and impactful book/story. I am amazed on how well structured and written this book was and I am so thankful I picked this one up. It gave me a clearer understanding of the middle east/taliban events that painted a huge part of my highschool life to adulthood life. I find malala's story to be inspiring and brave on what it takes to stand up for what you are passionate about and what is right.
I'm obsessed and I love how this has a slavic influence. So much different and a breath of fresh air compared to my other Fantasy picks. I'm so glad I own this series and I can't believe how long this series took me to pick up shame on me. Love that the author is also from Ohio as well :) Love reading local authors. Can't wait to continue this series.
I have mixed emotions about this one. There was some parts of this book that were really interesting and amazing then other parts that were pure ick and then other parts where I was like this is a off version of Dr Strange esque madness of the multiverse lol. I didn't really care about the main character too much by half way through the book but I have to say this audiobook narrator was pretty flipping great. I am glad I gave it a read but this one will be donated from my physical shelf. I don't really see myself reread this in the future.
