Harry Dresden has become one of my favorite urban fantasy characters.

This book finds Harry trying to prevent a civil war among the white council of wizards after Harry's “favorite” warden is accussed of murder.

Not my favorite Dresden book (I think that might be deadbeat) but still a good read.

Vampires, succubusses, werewolves and skin walkers combined with one wizard determined to do whats right the consequences be damned.

Lots of action and excitement well worth the read

Hollywood has been invented. Magic mayhem and adventute await

This is a hilarious entry into the discworld universe and as usual terry pratchett brings the laughs as he pokes fun at hollywood and fame

Enjoyed this one all the way from start to finish

This book was sent to me bu the author for a review

Honestly I loved this read. Really my only complaint is that it is not long enough. Gods, dragons, priests, mysticism, myth, magic and legends all wrapped up in a mid evil historical england setting.

Well paced and entertaining read that I really enjoyed from start to finish.

At no point did I find myself bored, as it kept my interest all the way through.


My personal fav character is Morgana and of course Gurzil. This the the 1st book in a series and and I am lookong forward to the next book.

Great read. Focus on princess Ciri with a touch of enviromentalism and social justices concerning the evles

Overall good really liked it. I published a review on my youtube channel so check it out drews book reviews

This is a fantastic book about a true canadian heros expierence as a astronaut and what his career has taught him about life and how to live

Highly reccomend it. I learned so much about the process and skills required.

Too long but good.

Lots happening. Gods. War, burning cities and overall alot happenning but also a long read. At times struggled to keep my attention but overall enjoyed the read

Do you believe in destiny. If not this book just might have you believing.

Book 0.75 of the witcher series makes for a fun entertaining read. Mermaids. Trolls. Sea monsters etc...

Lots of adventure and fun for everyone

Witchers are not supposed to have feelings but don't believe it. Either Geralt of rivea is a odd ball witcher or that's just myth and legen. You will have to read it and decide for yourself

War of the Fallows is a world in which 3 kingdoms are launched into a war, with their Gods who walk among men controlling and manipulating the ruling monarchs of the world.

I honestly love the idea of a world in which gods are walking among men and influencing or controlling the affairs of the world and ruling over the Monarchs of men. That in and of itself is not unique, however what I did find unique in this world is that these Gods, who are ascended Monarchs at the age of 40 are men just like any others, but worshipped as Gods by the people of the land.

While most fantasy worlds have some kind of magic system this world does not, That is not a draw back but something I actually liked about it. It makes it different than other fantasy you might read which is a good thing.

One of my favorite Aspects of this story is how LGBTQIA+ issues are represented. One character is a Gay man with a husband. This relationship is treated no different than any other married coupled and written with such normalcy that you do not even stop to think about it. I love how this was handled, and we need more writers who handle these issues and normalized them in literature.

My draw backs, this world could really benefit from more world building and character building, I really wanted to spend more time in the world and with these characters. The world and character building was enough to keep me interested and wanting more, but was still, at least I felt, barley even begun.

overall it was a good read and I really enjoyed it.

Like the other witcher books before it this one was also a really enjoyable read.

Andrzej Sapowski has created a fairy tale world that can be enjoyed by all fantasy fans alike.

While not perfect. I found somethings I did not like. Such as how certain philisophical positions were handled in terms of the writing it was a good read over all.

You can see a more detailed review on my youtube channel drews book reviews so check it out there

I would like to give 3.5 stars but that does not seem to be a option.

I found this to be a typical stand alone star wars book. Jedi vs sith and all that.

It was good but not great. Seems to be a story of vengeance and hunter vs hunted.

Some aspects I felt could have been expanded on more and probably could have been taken out all together with no realy change in the overall story.

This one truly is a great ending to the legacy of the force series. Epic battle between twins Jacen (aka Darth cadeous) and twin sister Jaina while the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance

If you are a star wars fan I highly recommend this series as a whole. Well worth it in my opinion.

while not a major plot point I loved the idea presented of one species in the galaxy using biological radio within their minds as a natural radio for telepathic communication I just thought that was a really cool idea and very plausible.

The only question we have is was Jacen truly redeemed at the end. I will let the reader decide

Jacen has finally revealed himself as jaina has a revelation of her own

Good book. Good story and good read all around.

I might add more to this review in a bit

I think I can honestly say this is my favorite of the Legacy of the force star wars books.

One of the things that has bothered me about this series is the idea of sacrifice put forth in that Jacen must kill someone help loves to become sith. As in he must actively seek out a opportunity to kill this person. It has seemed a rather pointless way to sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice.

I am happy to say this book solves this for me in a very satisfying way that meets all expectations and resolves this issue in a great way.

I really enjoyed Ben Skywalker's story as well as we get more into his inner conflict between right and wrong, good and bad etc...

Just overall a really good book!

Ok first off Dresden Files books are by far the best urban fantasy I have ever read just awesome.

If you have read the first 12 books then you know that Harry was killed and the end of the last book changes, if you are reading this now and have not read this far, I marked it spoilers so no complaining lol

I knew going into the Dresden files after reading changes Harry was not really dead because with how changes ended and the next book being Ghost Story I knew that it had to do with Harry being a ghost so no surprise there. But in any case Harry is sent back as a ghost to the mortal realm to save his friends, or so he thinks anyway but finds himself unable to use his magical powers and he must re-learn how to use magic in his ghost form and spends his time running from the sun and haunting his friends.

Like so many Dresden books this is a non stop read that kept my interested constantly through the book. From demented insane wraiths, to canabalistic ghost, to soul eating our nemesis corpsetaker a demonic ghost that possesses wizards to gain power.

at one point the book did hint at Harry getting his body back so I expected that to happen but honestly not the way it actually did, I thought that he would somehow find his body, perhaps his friends retrieved it and he was put in cold storage or something and he basically repossesses his body and comes back to life, but that is not how it happened, after all he is the winter knight so it could not be that simple right?

anyway how it happens is awesome and I just loved this book all around, anything Dresden at this point is awesome! I look forward to the next one

Exile was OK. I find I dont have much to say about it.

Jacen continues on his dark side path. Ben gets sent on a dangerous mission to a sith homeworld

Not much to say here but may come back go edit it as I mull over it for a day or so as I consider what I am going to say in my video review.

Wow. That was a wild ride. Thats all.

From space aliens to rides with corpses in coffins and battle of the bands this book is a fun read.

As usual Nicky Blue's writing style makes for a fun and entertaining read.

I enjoyed it overall while I would not call it an amazing book still worthwhile for a good read simple and entertaining read

Crossroads of Twilight. Book 10 of the Wheel of time by Robert Jordan.

This is among the slower of the Wheel of Time books, part of what is commonly called the slump in the middle.

Honestly not much happened in this one for its 800sh pages.
Elayne is in Andor trying to navigate the politics and trying to secure her crown while being pregnant with Rands child
Perrin is trying to figure out how to rescue Faile from the shaid Aiel
Matt as fled Ebou Dar while kidnapping daughter of the nine moon heir to the Seanchan throne.
Egwene and the rebel Aes Sedai laying siege to Tar Valon

Not a whole lot of movement or story progression in this book but despite that still enjoyable read although Rand is virtually non existent in this book.

Several references to Rands cleansing of saidin but no one knows what is really happenning only that shadar logoth is gone.

Not much more to say right now, may add to this review later

Brian Greene is quick becoming one of my favorite non-fiction authors. I have followed his world science festival and read atleast one of his other books. He has a way of explaining complex and confusing ideas that make these concepts easier at least to understand on a more basic level.

The elegant universe goes over the history of string theory and its relationship to Einstein theory of relativity and how physicist have sought to overcome the apparent contradictory nature of classical physics with quantum physics.

I really liked his explanation of the speed of light for example being a constant and not limited by relative motion or apparent velocities of the observer.

In addition to that I now have a better understanding of how the sub-sub atomic world works with multidimensional cosmic strings of vibrating energy works

However I did give 3 stars for 2 reasons really and in the end maybe not related to Greene himself. Some of the concepts and ideas he was trying to express were difficult to understand and did come across a bit dry. However the reality is that the subject matter involved is not simple and even physicist have said they don't understand it lol.

Greene also states there is no smaller fundamental element of matter than these strings but the same thing was said about atoms and particles at one point as well so I don't know how he can say that with surety

Overall however another great read by Brian Greene who has proven himself to be an effective science educator with unique effective and relatable wa of explaining complicated and difficult to understand concepts. I look forward to reading more from him

Just read this. Seriously.

I will be putting a full review on my youtube channel so you can check out there

Wowo just wow!!!

I think this has to be the most hard hitting impactful Dresden Files book I have read thus far.

Harry finding out he has a daughter with his half vampire ex girlfriend and that his daughter is now being used as a human blood sacrifice to create a blood curse on Harry and his family.

2 moments that just stand out. When Harry meets his daughter for the first time is heartbreaking

And then when he must make a sacrifice to save his daughter commiting an act of murder he never thought he could be capable of is just wow!!

Harry trades everything for the child he never knew he had.

And the ending. Just seriously WTF!! I don't know whether to laugh, cry, be angry, scream.....

I mean seriously how does Jim Butcher get away with that kind of ending!! But the fact that this book has left me with emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback I suppose means Jim did a damn good job writing to illecit such a response from me but still Damn you Jim for doing this to me. I love it but at the same time I hate it!! Good job!

Good book providing some insight and back story to the start of the Yuzaan Vongh invasion of the galaxy

Good ending to a great story. Bringing the moon back and ending the war with “evil earth”

Our characters must make some tremendous sacrifices for the greater good of humanity.

I loved how the book goes back into the past, exploring the origins of orogenes and stone eaters so we can learn about the culture and people who created the obelisks in an attempt to harness the energies and magics of the earth.

The book really sends a message of the consequences of exploitation of earth's resources and resulting environmental disasters that result. The earth is in turmoil and fighting back against the slavery and exploitation of its resources and won't be stabilized again until those who did so restore the earth back to it's natural state.

Good read and enjoyable all around.

Like typical Riordan this book is hilarious mix of adventure and Norse mythology in a engaging and entertaining story

I especially liked the trans character Alex. It's so refreshing to have characters from the GSRM community included in the story without a direct in your face about it.

Rick Riorodan effectively weaves the characters sexuality and gender identity with the prejudices of others and the challenges Alex must deal with in a way that does not impact the primary plot and story arc.

As usual Jim Butcher does disappoint when it comes to the Dresden files.

Fast paced and action packed supernatural forces vs the world and wizard for hire Harry Dresden .

I love Jim Butchers sense of humor with in his writing style and how he uses religious theology within jus story.

The knights of the cross with the nails of the crucifix along with 30 pieces of possessed silver just make for a more interesting read.

Anything Dresden Files is highly reccomended
