Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson is the first in the Reckoner’s series. I’m sure many reviewers have commented that it could almost be read as a textual comic book and I actually agree. You’ve got random people that have been suddenly gifted/cursed with superpowers in a futuristic world where these said people use them to rule…

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi is one of those stories that you read, find it kind of boring in the beginning, manage to read some more and eventually, you’ll find yourself in this pattern of returning for more yet you don’t really know why.

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison is a magical tale about what life would be like if you take an unsuspecting goblin and make him the emperor of the lands. It’s very rare when I read fantasy books that a character of the goblin race would be the centerpiece of the story and so when…

Endymion by Dan Simmons is the third book in the Hyperion Cantos series. To say that I am disappointed in this book is a huge understatement. In fact, it saddens me to say that I have to put this book in my “did not finish” category as I absolutely loved the first two books of…

Hyperion by Dan Simmons is the first book in the Hyperion Cantos series and folks, its a good one! I’ve always been looking for a good sci-fi book that deals with some type of mythical creature and whatnot. So when I read the description of Hyperion and the Shrike, I was sold. It also helped…

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown is the second installment in the Robert Langdon saga. After having literally breezing through The Da Vinci Code, I felt it was a long enough hiatus to pick up the next installment. It was offered for a good price and I didn’t exactly get a chance to watch the…
