Not every fantasy book is awe-inspiring and will keep you hooked to it day-in and day-out. Some might regulate your nervous system while “bread crumbing” you enough to keep you interested. 🤓 The Northern Lights is one of those books.

Kingdom of Ash – the last book of Throne of Glass series
Be the bridge, be the light. When iron melts, when flowers spring from fields of blood—let the land be witness, and return home. Manon Blackbeak or Crochan – holy Gods is a sight to behold or read in this book. She goes from a witch who is afraid to admit, afraid to care to rightfully…
Book review – book 6 of the Throne of Glass series – Tower of Dawn
Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq go on an adventure come healing journey come request for the Southern continent to support against Erawan, in this book.

Book review – Empire of Storms – book 5 of the Throne of Glass series
After the exciting events of Queen of Shadows, with magic getting unshackled and a slew of revelations, the fifth book of this series raises the level of writing and story-telling a bar higher.

Book review – Winter’s Heart – book 9 of the Wheel of Time series
The most anticipated reunion of all the time happens in this book with a few fireworks and three related characters getting hilarious headaches.

Book review – The Heir of Fire – Book 3 of the Throne of Glass series
The third book of the Throne of Glass series is longer by hundred pages as compared to the previous books. It goes more deeply into the characters and introduces a few new ones. What I hated about this book is the lack of maps of Wendlyn and Doranelle. There is an adorable wyvern which loves…
Book review – The Wheel of Time book 8 – The Path of Daggers
“You trouble me so, Rand-al Thor. Light, sometimes I think that the Creator made you to trouble me.” And Rand-al Thor continues to trouble me! Our Dragon Reborn is getting annoyingly arrogant of his “dragon” and undefeated status and it looks like the power or the saidin is getting to him. Thank Robert Jordan for…
Book review – The Wheel of Time book 7 – A Crown of Swords
My, oh my, Robert Jordan delivers again on the 7th book of the Wheel of Time series. I was expecting fireworks, in your face humour and twisted politics. What I did not expect were a host of feel good moments, over shadowed characters coming into their own, introduction of a no-nonsense Mc Gonagall like character…
The plot gets dark and deep – The Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2)
The second book of the beloved Throne of Glass series was heart-wrenching, baffling and thrilling, to say the least! The Adarlan’s assassin comes into her true form in many a fight scenes and now we know, why she is feared all over the empire. The Crown Prince was just another chocolate boy in the first…
