• Artemis by Andy Weir is a novel that takes place on the moon and quite frankly, will definitely remind you of a story that you may have read somewhere before. The story doesn’t quite feel original but due to the authors background, he does make that up by giving out cool science facts that I’m…

  • The Honest Spy by Andreas Kollender is a historical fiction work that focuses on one of the most popular spy in the World War II era. Since I’m still so fascinated with the WWII era, I thought it would be a good idea to read up on just how popular this historical figure is and…

  • Imajica by Clive Barker is a novel that includes everything from mysterious creatures, romances, betrayal, out of body experiences, assassins and murderers to dimension travelling to parallel worlds. What’s not to like? From what I can remember, this is my first Clive Barker novel! Although not too familiar with the author, I do know he…

  • The Ocean At the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman is my first attempt into dissecting the mind of this ever so popular author. Therefore, it made sense for me to pick a short novel such as this one here. After having read through the novel, I couldn’t immediately think of words to describe…

  • Prince of Fools by Mark Lawrence is the first book of The Red Queen’s War trilogy set. If anything, this author knows how to go against the grain and write stories that doesn’t necessarily conform to what you’d normally expect from your every-other-book protagonist. If you’ve read his previous works, you’ll know that he tends…

  • Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet is an ambitious fictional novel that spans the course of almost a person’s lifetime when all is said and done. In fact, I was shocked to learn that this was only the first book in a trilogy! Who’d knew building a cathedral was so much work? Well, if…

  • The Diamond Throne by David Eddings is the first of three in his Elenium series. Published in the 90s, I’ve read that this series has been heralded as a classic by many and was the author’s claim to fame. I was looking for my next political fantasy book/series when I stumbled upon this series in…

  • Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton is a stand-alone science fiction novel that, although can be considered dystopian or post-apocalyptic by some, really goes over what would happen when a lonesome old astronomer and a crew of returning astronauts from a space exploration mission discovers that all contact with humans on Earth has been ceased.…

  • Talion: Revenant by Michale A. Stackpole is a standalone fantasy book. There will always be times when a person can take so much of something before being forced to take a break. After having continuously read fantasy books in a series, I decided it was time again to take a no-commitment approach. I didn’t want…

  • Fall of Light by Steven Erikson is the second book in his Kharkanas Trilogy set. It might be a fault of mine by diving straight into Fall of Light after having read Forge of Darkness because I’ve come away extremely exhausted. So much in fact that I’m thinking of quitting the series. As I noted…
