  • Heir

    By Sabaa Tahir
    3 stars

    Well written YA fantasy that just failed to resonate with me, I probably would have loved it if I was 20 years younger though!

  • Illuminae

    By Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
    4 stars

    Entertaining sci-fi story, great pace, artwork and some very well executed twists and turns.

    Excellent summary of the contents and issues surrounding Te Tiriti and The Treaty.

  • Fragments from a Contested Past

    A small but powerful book giving voice to Māori views and experiences of the New Zealand wars.

  • The Searcher

  • Māori Made Easy

    By Scotty Morrison
    5 stars

  • The Hallmarked Man

    By Robert Galbraith
    3 stars

    The bloat is real! There is an great book in here, with half the number of pages; but combining 5 mysteries in one and making relationships the main focus of the book negatively impacts the pacing to a huge extent. This then makes the central mysteries with the huge number of characters to track, much less impactful.

  • The Alloy of Law

    By Brandon Sanderson
    5 stars

    Excellent development on the world and themes of the original mistborn trilogy, with a fresher and more relaxed dynamic.

  • Origin

    By Dan Brown
    3 stars

    Very little deviation from the Dan Brown formula, but still as entertaining as ever.

  • The Devil in the Marshalsea

    By Antonia Hodgson
    4 stars

    A great premise with a good historical angle. Just enough misdirection to stick the landing too!
