Promise of Blood

Treasure Island

The Sentence is Death

The Strength of the Few

By James Islington

5 stars

Fantastic sequel to the Will of the Many which I believe surpassed it! The three perspectives branching in such an interesting way. Loved the different viewpoints and the worlds which came from it. Full of heart and action and the story continues in such a fascinating way. I have not been this excited for continuing a series in a long time. Islington has really created a masterful and intriguing series
Lamb to the Slaughter

By Roald Dahl

4 stars

An absolute expert in short stories! Some very twisted endings and throughly enjoyable and relevant last stories which resonates with AI and creation.
Jade City

By Fonda Lee

5 stars

Ripped through this book in the Christmas season. Enjoyable to read although some very sad moments and very frustrating or nerve racking to read at times. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy
Abhorsen

By Garth Nix

4 stars

A satisfying conclusion with nonstop action. Really enjoyed this, especially how everything came together at the end. Reminded me of Sabriel in the unrelenting pace. Good conclusion to an enjoyable trilogy
Small Things Like These

By Claire Keegan

4 stars

Excellent Christmas story filled with sadness but a tangible sense of hope. The ending was beautiful
Lirael

By Garth Nix

4 stars

Good coming of age story for Lirael. Interesting expansion of the world built in Sabriel with a new story. Very enjoyable
The Word is Murder

By Anthony Horowitz

4 stars

Excellent meta murder mystery. Horowitz and Hawthorne make a great retake on the Sherlock & Holmes trope. A compelling story well told which was very entertaining for a modern murder mystery
A Christmas Carol

By Charles Dickens

4 stars

A great read for the begging of the Christmas season. A classic for a reason, well written, beautiful messages and a compelling story. Is it bad the whole time I was reading it I was picturing the muppets characters?
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

By Olga Tokarczuk

1 stars

This is the lowest I have ranked a book in a long time. Rarely would I complete a book which I disliked this much, but was reading it for a book club and it was short so I felt obliged. Whereas the prose is well composed, it really lost me, it meandered along without much of a point. And it was so deeply ideological and felt like vegetarian propaganda in some ways. The astrology did nothing for me either
Moving Pictures

By Terry Pratchett

4 stars

Very good Discworld novel. Easy read and hilarious with some great characters and top tier satire.
Will of the Many

By James Islington

5 stars

Fantastic first entry in this series. Very interesting and intriguing story. Reads almost like a YA series, in terms of the pace and story for the most part. Cannot wait to read the strength of the few
