A true fantasy epic in all sense of the word. Epic world, epic characters, epic lore, epic story, epic politics and continued epic surprises!

I went into this book wanting some action set in an underground where the surface of the planet was the most dangerous place to be. In all fairness, we did get quite a bit of that but not quite in a way that made me truly terrified.

Due to the nature in the way that the book is written, I kept expecting all the monsters and such to be or have metaphorical meanings but they didn't. This book more discusses how different cultures, religions and mini civilisations might spurt up in a world where there's no guidance from the outside world. The main character had absolutely no personality despite the many long pieces of internal monologues. However, I have come out of this book feeling quite satisfied and intrigued by a lot of the hypothetical religions and mini-cultures that Dmitry Glukhovsky explored in this book

I received this free for signing up to Robin Waite's newsletter and have to say I'm very impressed. I thought it would just be filled with cliché sayings and quotes. But it tells the very simple story of a Pro Golfer who wanted to make his hard work actually pay. He meets a man called David whose a Business Coach who changes his life forever. It's short and it's simple, but it also felt rather informative and motivational.

Have definitely come away from it with some interesting ideas and motivation to continue plowing on with my own side-hustles.

Another long story

That might sound like a pretty odd and simple title. This whole series is filled with long books. This latest isn't the longest and yet it took a week and a half of reading and audiobook every day. It's an epic for sure.

This particular entry in the series is a very strong one filled with some great action, huge plot moments and some real story progression. Have to say, this is the my favourite since the second. Though - my ongoing two major complaints remain: all women in this book are portrayed as short tempered and angry and not a single person in this book has a sense of humour or seems like they have fun - maybe Mat!

An interesting premise with a standard storyline

There's a slight twist towards the end that's worth reading for, but ithe than that, it's a fairly average story.
