THE WELL OF ASCENSION by Brandon Sanderson

July 15, 2016

Book cover & rating - The Well of Ascension by Brandon SandersonThe Well of Ascension was an amazing sequel! It carried on with the rich detail that The Final Empire introduced. I loved learning even more about Scadrial and advancing my understanding of Allomancy and Feruchemy.

THE DARK DAYS CLUB by Alison Goodman

July 5, 2016

Book cover & rating - THE DARK DAYS CLUB by Alison GoodmanWhen I first heard of The Dark Days Club, I was intrigued. Though I hadn’t read Jane Austen novels nor any of the popular series of Cassandra Clare, I knew those names held promise. Yes, Alison Goodman is an author unto herself but sometimes it’s hard to discount influences. With that, I first picked up Pride & Prejudice. It took me more than a month to reach page 84 before I got too exasperated and put it on hold. I didn’t try City of Bones. I dove into The Dark Days Club, not wanting to postpone it too long.

WITH MALICE by Eileen Cook

June 8, 2016

Book cover & rating - With Malice by Eileen CookWith Malice kept me up at night because I couldn’t sleep without knowing how it would end. Of course, the job of a psychological thriller is to keep readers up long after everyone’s gone to sleep, so it should be the expectation when picking up such a book.

BLUESCREEN by Dan Wells

March 10, 2016

Book cover & rating - Bluescreen by Dan WellsBluescreen was a fast-paced mystery rooted in science fiction. Set in the near future, the setting felt immediate yet very much more advanced. A lot of the communication technology and technology as a whole reflected current imaginations of what could be possible in a couple of decades. I thought Bluescreen tapped on that technological knowledge very well and injected some creativity as well.

ASSASSIN’S HEART by Sarah Ahiers

February 10, 2016

Book cover & rating - Assassin's Heart by Sara AhiersAssassin’s Heart wasn’t a book that I had prioritised to read. The reason I got to it so soon after publication was that I had the maximum 6 credits on my Audible account. In order not to forfeit any credits, I had to spend one before the new cycle. Since Assassin’s Heart was the only book available as an audiobook from my TBR (to be read) pile among the titles I didn’t own, I went for it. Essentially, I went in without any set expectations.
