Highlander1983

I adored this book. I don't even know how to explain it, but this book was exactly what I needed at this point in my life. I wasn't even aware that “cozy fantasy” was a thing, but it has to be one of my favourite genres. Viv is the perfect “heroine” and I would love to hear more from her in the future. I am so happy to have read this book.

Amazing. I'm so pleased by this book. I read The Last Wish over a year ago and didn't continue with the series straight away because I wasn't blown away by it. Well, after finishing this one, I can officially say I'm a Witcher fan. I have a few books on my immediate TBR, but I'll get to Blood of Elves asap!

Simply amazing

I binge-watched the TV show a few months ago (new season coming soon!), and now I'm slowly making my way though the books. I started reading them on kindle, but I now mainly listen to them on Audible. Whichever format you choose to consume the story, I don't think anyone will be disappointed!

I love these books. I've become really attached to Avery, Alex and the whole gang. I feel like these books get better with every instalment and I can't wait to read the next one!

Mi è piaciuto tantissimo questo libro e non vedo l'ora di leggere il prossimo (l'ho già preordinato su Amazon!). Ho trovato la trama molto originale e ho adorato la relazione tra i protagonisti. Il prossimo libro esce a giugno e,come ho già detto, non vedo l'ora di leggerlo!

This has now become one of my favourite trilogies! I really enjoyed the the first two books, and this was the perfect conclusion. I had them for free through Kindle Unlimited (which I have on and off), but I have also purchased them. I might get paper versions too, if only to support this fantastic author. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I have to say I feel quite underwhelmed regarding the ending... I was expecting some closure that I didn't fully get. I have binge-read the last three books in the series, so I guess I have enjoyed them quite a bit, but as I said, I do feel somewhat underwhelmed. I will read more books by Charlaine Harris (I own the Harper Connelly series), and I have pretty high expectations :) All in all, Sookie Stackhouse was a 4-5 stars read.

I don't normally read manga, but I might just start now! I bought this book for my 11-year-old son and he convinced me to read it. I loved it. Only downside is the cliffhanger, but I have the following books, so I guess I'll just have to keep reading.

This book is honestly more 4.5 than 4 stars. It's very good overall, but I just wasn't blown away by it.

This (audio) book is fantastic for its intended audience (i.e. children - of which I have two!). We'll listen to the next two (for free on Audible).

I quite enjoyed this book, but I didn't really “love” it. To be fair, it's more between 4 and 4.5 stars. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but there it wasn't amazing.

Boy, did I love this book? I will just say I was not expecting the ending (last 10% or so), and it definitely made me want more! I'll continue reading the series in due course :)

I'm a bit conflicted about this one. I gave it 4 stars overall, but there are some elements that made me cringe (like the romance between two of the characters) and others that made me really excited about the whole story (like the general setup). For some reason, I just couldn't stop listening (I did listen to the audiobook). I will continue with the series :)

Sadly, I DNF'd this book at about 20%. I loved the first two books (maybe “loved” is too strong a word, but they did keep me entertained to the point that I read them back-to-back), but I was too lost in this one :( As other reviewers mentioned, you must have watched the Netflix series to be able to follow this book, and I haven't. I am aware that my rating is very low, especially when I have only read a chunk of the book, but I think it's not fair that it presumes you have watched the show. I want to read the books, not watch the show —even less now that it's been cancelled. I feel the first two books can be read (almost) independently of the book (especially the first one), but not this one. I any case, I didn't find the plot engaging at all. This one is jut going to sit on my shelf, sadly :(

I read this book in two days and would have given it 5* if it hadn't been for the underwhelming end. I only watched a couple of the Netflix episodes back when the series was released, but I have really enjoyed the book. I'll read the next two at some point.

This is basically like an encyclopaedia about the Wheel of Time. It's full of spoilers, so do not read it before finishing all 15 books. You have been warned. The content is actually quite interesting, but it's quite boring. I'd use this book more like a reference book, but I'm not sure when I would read it. If you check anything while reading the books, you are bound to find unwanted spoilers, and if you read it after finishing all the books (like I have), you may get bored (like I have).

This book is more like 3.75-4, but only if you are a massive Buffy fan, which I am not. My husband bought it and I thought I'd read it, as I did watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer back in the day. All in all, this is basically like watching the TV show, but set 20 years after, which I guess is a compliment of sorts, but ultimately it wasn't really for me.

Overall, I think the whole of The Wheel of Time's plot it a 5/5. However, it's about 5 books too long. The last three books could have been only one, as Robert Jordan had originally intended, and the whole slog (books 7-10 could have also be reduced to just one.

James Hockley never fails to deliver, and this is definitely no exception. I have thoroughly enjoyed Kantal's coming of age story. It is very well executed and I've loved the references to his wider world. James is really on to something here, and I can't wait to read anything that comes out of his pen!

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wrap-up for Era 2 and I can't wait for Era 3! I might do a reread of Era 1 and 2 soon :)

I'm a big fan of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and I have adored this book. The only (tiny) con I can mention is that it can get a little boring at times, but again, along the same lines of Pride and Prejudice. The first part is a retelling of the events from Pride and Prejudice, but from Mary's point of view, and then we go on to follow Mary's life after those events. There are cameos from most of the characters we know and love (and others not so much), so this book has sparkled my nostalgia. All in all, I have thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This book is a great follow up to Distant Shadow and a great setup for Queen's Descent (yes, I read them in the wrong order!). I have thoroughly loved Alidinia's journey from start to end. James Hockney's prose is really approachable and fast paced, but you do get hooked on the story and attached to the characters. I can't wait for the next instalment!

This is a fantastic “first” instalment for this trilogy (series?). It reminded me of Game of Thrones at times, but the style is much simpler and very approachable (more YA I guess). It is very fast-paced and kept me very interested in the story throughout. The only con I could find is that the ending felt somewhat rushed. Still, I can't wait for the next instalment. What a discovery James Hockley has been. Keep up the great work!

I really enjoyed this book. I listened to it for free through my local library and I enjoyed every minute of it; so much so that I am reading another YA dystopian sci-fi right after (The Hunger Games). I have already reserved the next two books and I'll listen to them as soon as they become available!

This book was such a struggle to get through. I only finished it because the trilogy is included in my audible membership. The premise is very promising and I had high hopes for the book, but it under delivered in so many ways. The story is boring and I never cared for any of the characters. I might listen to the second book because I have it for free, but I'll have to give it some thought.
