This review may seem critical, but The Shadow of What Was Lost is not bad. If I were reading it ten years ago, I’d probably jump right into the sequel.
The Sun Also Rises Review
I found The Sun Also Rises a disappointingly ordinary book from a purportedly extraordinary author.
Paradise Lost Review
Paradise Lost honestly read at points more like genre fiction than like a piece of classic religious literature, and I do not in any way mean that to be construed as an insult.
The Quiet Americans Review
If I'm going to read a book about more modern times, therefore, I like it to be one that doesn't merely retread the same worn ground as other histories with some purportedly new-fangled interpretation or spin that never quite lives up to its advertisements. The Quiet Americans fit the bill perfectly.
Good Omens Review
A few years ago, Amazon Prime released a television adaptation, one of those mini-series, of the Neil Gaiman-Terry Pratchett collaboration Good Omens, and it was amongst the best and most faithfully adapted pieces I’ve ever seen.
Cradle Series Review
Wight managed to produce in Cradle a series that was fresh, original, fast-paced, fun, and engaging, making him most certainly an rising writer to watch.
Waybound Review
Waybound made for an excellent end to the Cradle journey, and I look forward to reading what Wight comes out with next.
The tale of Genji Review
I really don't know how to rate this book. On the one hand, it is well-written, well-translated, and culturally interesting. On the other hand, it is incredibly boring.
Tress of the Emerald Sea Review
I resolved to pick up something that I was confident would scratch that itch and remind me how much I truly enjoy stories. Sanderson's Tress of the Emerald Sea seemed the perfect vehicle, and I was right.
The Dictionary of Body Language Review
The Dictionary of Body Language will go onto the list of the most broadly useful and applicable books I’ve read, alongside books like Human Dimension and Interior Space.
