Enjoyed it more than book 1, the 10 year time skip felt a little odd at first. The motivations of most of the characters were pretty unclear as well and a quite a few felt pretty flat.

Rabbits is a book that you have to finish for the beginning to truely make sense or feel like it even mattered. The first, 15 or so chapters felt slow, meandering around and a whole lot of words being said for nothing to really happened.

But once things picked up the book became really enjoyable as K begins to experience more and more reality altering events. If there will he a second book I will probably pick it up but I'm glad I stuck with the book in the long run.

The greatest series continues with another excellent installment. Major developments for survival characters, honestly I can't wait to seee how Marsha continues to grow. Also cannot wait for Rag's and Erin to meet up again.n

This was a bit depressing but a great read. It was though provoking and took the pov of two different people during two different periods of time. It deals with suicide, bullying, alzheimer's, dealing with lost and morality. It was worth every moment of reading though I did have to put it down a few times to decompress. If any of these topics triggers you I would avoid the book.

Book six ends the Earth Arc and storyline for now. I did greatly enjoy the book however Jason does feel far to powerful at his “level” compared to what he's facing off against, why not just make him gold level at this point?

Only other gripe I have is that no one else from Earth joined Jason and Farrah back to Pallimustus at all, made the last three books seemed far less important and just really underwhelming tool to bring Farrah back all together.

However, Jason does through a ton of character growth and the reasons everyone stand beyond made absolute sense. Overall a great read.

This is the second Alastair Reynolds book I have read and totally different than House of Suns. However, I still greatly enjoyed it as it had a different take on the time travel/alt history trope than I'm used to. I plan on picking up more of the Author's works in the future as its all been great scifi for me!

Pretty fun read being apart of a generational story the time skips were appreciated. However in the same light I don't feel like any of the characters had a chance to truly grow.

This was a pretty fun read, picked it up based off a recommendation for “cozy” post-zombie story whcih this book didn't quite meet in my opinion, but what I got was a pretty thrilling read for a short book.

Bonus points for a gay romance which was just presented like a normal, refreshing part of life.

Great introduction to Sanderson's works imo. The story is fun, but has enough depth to it to truely keep you on your seat.

This was a fantastic foray into sci-fi that deals with political intrigue. The two cultures that we experience were different enough thst they truly did feel alien to each despite being human. I loom forward to the next book.

Okay story with a cool world

Maybe 10 years ago I could've gotten into the very much high school teen drama that occurred within the real world of this book, but honestly I though the who dynamics between Jason, Riley and Alex just incredibly cringe.

Having said that, the game world itself was pretty cool and the development of Alfred, the AI was a fun read. I'm unsure at the time of writting if I will pick up book 2, but if I do it would sololy be due to continue the story within the digital world ans I hope the real world stuff is just left behind.

Ghostwater is probably the best so far of the Cradle series. Liden, Orthos and Little Blue are trapped in a pocket dimension full of treasures and dangers of all kinds. If they can survive however it can greatly boost their advancement. Outside Mercy and Yerin must navigate the dangerous factions as they try to advance themselves and find another way inside the Ghostwater to save their friend.

Pretty well written and the new characters introduced are a wonderful addition thus far.

Book 5 does pick up where book 4 ends, however I found that the story had a much better pace. Jason also suffers some tragies due to his attitude and trying to keep information from people overall. Excellent story and I look forward to book 6!

This was a fun fairy tale through 1920s Mexico and based off of Maya Mythology While I found the story to be a bit predictable, it was still a fun read.

Fun adventure

Montana and co continue their journey in book 2 where they must dodge some political enemies. During the book we get to learn quite a bit more about the world and how it ticks. I look forward to book 3 and will eventually pick up the Bad Guys series as well.

Fun, but over the top

The story was a pretty fun read, but the story based in reality was a bit much in my opinion. Worth reading though and the action was pretty well written.

Mother of Learning was a great, fun read taking us through a time loop as the main character relives the same month over and over again. He uses the opportunity to his advantage as he looks for a way to end the time loop.

Really am looking forward to book 2.

Humorous

This series has actually been a pretty fun read. I have found both books to be amazing funny but the second book took things up a noch. I look forward to book 3, which judging by the end might be forth coming.

Charlie Holmberg weaves a truly fantastic world through the Spellbreaker Duology. I really enjoyed how the magic system worked in these two books, and book 2 really bright to light some of the more interworkings of how spells are learned and passed down through the generations.

However, I do feel book 1 told a better, more thrilling story with better character development, book 2 was still quite enjoyable all the same. I hope to read more novels set in the same world in the future.

The Starless Crown has some amazing world building in it. James Rollins really does go out of his way to make the world feel alive.

Nyx who was abandoned as a baby in the swamps quickly finds out the world she knew is drastically different. With the help of a forshaken prince, Kanthe and her childhood friend Jace she must dodge the King's forces as they seek to understand the visions she been having and what Moon Fall really is.

The story starts out slow estblashing the world and by the middle the pace really begins to pick up, as all of the POV characters converge upon eachother.

While I enjoyed many of the characters, Nyx mostly many others felt a little weak in terms of writing. However as mentioned earlier the world building is excellent and makes up for this flaw.

The other thing I had some issues with was the random times the author seemed a little fixated on the nakedness of a woman's body. It didn't ruin the book or anything just felt really unnecessary for the over all book.

I plan on picking up book 2 and look forward to reading it. I give this a 7/10 over all.

This was a fantastic look at life with the early years of Communist China. Kent really paints what he and his family goes through and describes in great deal his escape attempts. Worth reading for not only a look back into history and remember the struggles some have gone through, but to look at today's world and do our best to prevent the tragedies of the past from repeating.

Books 1-3 of cradle were fun, great reads in their own rights. But Book 4 Skysworn things begin to take off. We start to understand the true goals of a number of characters and with each of the first four books the world is truly coming alive.

Travis Baldree's performance so far is this series is also top notched.

Fun & action packed. Montana has to adjust to a new world after nearly meeting his end on Earth. He does quickly become a bit op, but he is attempting to live his new life better than his old life.

This is the end of the lastest trilogy and arguably the best of the three. Though it still had some issues, like Drake being on the otherside of the galaxy again after arriving in the New Sagovia at the end of book 2.

McGowan and Vargas actually had decent character growth during the course of this book, growth that I though had already occurred after the previous war
Diggins was a brilliant character and was a shame to see him go. I would also have enjoyed a PoV chapter involving Kelly or some of the Scandinavians though.

The insectoid chapters were once again the best part of the book. Hopefully if this franchise continues however, we experience a different sort of story rather than a desperate hopeless conflict.

As with the first book, the only real saving grace is the pov chapters from the Insectoid characters. The alliance bumbles around the galaxy its a wonder they came out ontop of any of the earlier conflicts. Captain McGowan once again, wouldn't have been left in charge of anything after the stunts he's pulled. Also how does Drake always seem to disappear with a large number of ships during each of these conflicts?
