Red Rising

Wrote a review for

Hunger Games + Lord of the Flies + too many plot twists. It was entertaining though, so I might pick up the next one.

Kafka on the Shore

Wrote a review for

Loved it. But it's downright weird and hard to describe. Definitely a book that I want to reread.

Speaking Bones

Wrote a review for

A fantastic conclusion to an incredible series: First, phenomenal world building; the world felt more real than anything I've read in fantasy in some time. Second, interesting characters and compelling plot. Third, a touch of the literary; some of the themes that resonated with me: the roles of bureaucracy and the intelligentsia, cultural identity, the power of stories, power vs. morality vs. pride ("the grace of kings"), and the joys of food.

I was hesitant at first to pick up this series: it's very long, and I've grown kinda bored with epic fantasy. So, I'm very glad that I did take the plunge—worth it!
