Sparkling Cyanide

Wrote a review for

A classic Agatha Christie murder mystery. Loved the dinner party murder scene and multiple perspectives. Two characters kind of ending up being useless but I still enjoyed their story.
One complaint is that we're constantly told a certain thing about one of the characters and then the final reveal is that it isn't true, but nothing dictated throughout the book (even that characters own POV) that it wasn't true.

Thought the book was really good plot driven story. I found Natalie to be a really interesting character that I never liked, but pitied and still wanted things to work out for her (for the first while). Some of the stuff was a bit on the nose for me but overall I really enjoyed reading and enjoyed the seperate time zones.

Dune

Wrote a review for

Really enjoyed the start where it was practically all lore dump. The ending kind of dragged on for me and I was just waiting for the battle to happen. Don't know if I'm too keen on reading the rest of the series (or at least the first three).


I did really like the excerpts from in-universe books at the beginning of each chapter though.

I Who Have Never Known Men

Wrote a review for

Such a profound story with so many interesting concepts. Short book but took me awhile to read because I kept pausing and thinking about what was being said.

The title drops were insane
