THE ALLOY OF LAW by Brandon Sanderson

March 30, 2017

Book cover & rating - The Alloy of Law by Brandon SandersonI can’t think of another fantasy book I’ve read that was as much fun as The Alloy of Law. It made me chuckle a lot, particularly because of Wayne. He’s hilarious and makes the most inappropriate yet fitting comments. Some part nearly had me in stitches.

MILA 2.0 by Debra Driza

July 30, 2013

For those who like their books action-packed, Mila 2.0 definitely is worth checking out. For those who prefer to relate to the characters in a story though, this book might not entirely satisfy. I like a cross between the two, so I was kinda sitting on the fence about how I felt after I was done…
