Page Count: 224 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW This was a phenomenal story with intricate world building mixed with that classic old-school science fiction prose that I love. The different characters and all the diverse species that are introduced through the story truly fascinated me. And there is the usual C.S.Lewis morality message woven into the storyContinue reading “Out of a Silent Planet by C.S.Lewis”

Gild by Raven Kennedy
Page Count: 416 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW This was a very interesting take on the King Midas mythos where it is set, not in Ancient Greece but in its own fantasy world which was fun to read through and the cliff-hanger made me curious instead of frustrated so I am interested in reading the sequels.
Paradise Lost by John Milton
Page Count: 303 Rating: 4.7/5 REVIEW Definitely a story of beautiful prose and wonderful storytelling for the Genesis story of the Bible. I absolutely loved the add-ons to the original tale and the battles between the Angels and the Fallen Angels were very cool. I also love how Milton had the Angels showing Adam allContinue reading “Paradise Lost by John Milton”
The Valley of Lost Secrets by Lesley Parr
Page Count: 288 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW I truly enjoyed this story about children struggling to fit in and not feeling like they belong somewhere. It was also about realising that the people that they shied away from truly did want to help them and how stereotypes aren’t often true, all wrapped up in a grippingContinue reading “The Valley of Lost Secrets by Lesley Parr”
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Page Count: 620 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW Robert Langdon is by far one of my favourite adult novel protagonists. His adventures are interesting because they are based on historical and symbolic context with any mystery requiring puzzle solving and niche based logic. Instead of using his brawn to get him and his companions out of situationsContinue reading “Angels and Demons by Dan Brown”
Origin by Dan Brown
I love all of the Dan Brown Robert Langdon books and this one was no exception. The quest, the characters, the twists and turns, I loved them all and I couldn’t put the book down. Even when at the end you thought you’d figured out the mystery it hits you with something else that seemsContinue reading “Origin by Dan Brown”

Book Review of Oz by Bobbie Darbyshire
So I said that I wouldn’t write reviews for fiction because it would hinder the experience of getting lost in a book – and going into a book wanting to review it is still something I won’t do. But this one, that I found today in the bargain box due to a slightly damaged spine,Continue reading “Book Review of Oz by Bobbie Darbyshire”
