Book Review: Full Speed to a Crash Landing

Full Speed to a Crash Landing is one of those books that proved that you don’t need to write a gazillion of pages to make a story interesting. When I requested this book from Netgalley, I kept my expectations just a notch lower than high. Yes, I’ve heard of Beth Ravis and I’ve seen her books raking in excellent reviews for her other books but I have not read any of her books until this one. I’m glad that I picked the right book because I really enjoyed it. It’s short but action packed, straightforward, and hit all the nice…

Please note that I picked…

In order to do this, she joins monster fights wherein she earns money whenever she wins over the weird monsters on the battle arena. For me, this was a good premise and it really upped my hopes because I assumed that I’d be reading about some sort of gladiator battles all throughout the story. Unfortunately, the story took a…

Book Review: Kindling

Kindling has a lot of promise that made me pick it out of the the numerous ARCs offered in Edelweiss. It promised to give me an epic fantasy read condensed into one book instead of a crazy 10-book epic fantasy series, I mean who would not pick it up? Unfortunately, that is the main weakness of the book. There were so many leading characters, seven of them, to know but so little page time. It just wasn’t enough to build the angst and the pain to make me hurt for these Kindlings. I could neither relate to their journey nor…
