Book Review: Guns of the Dawn

It was in 2018 that I bought Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky…back when the Big Bad Wolf visited the City where I was currently working. And I picked it because the whole cover spoke of this steampunk aura, a genre that I have come to love as I journeyed through my reading career. Guns of the Dawn would be my first Adrian Tchaikovsky and it was a pleasant surprise despite me having to put it down numerous times. I started reading the book in 2018 and only finished it this year. Wow. I guess my faculties were not…

Book Review: The Hammer of Thor

Just like his other books and the first Gods of Asgards books, I was smiling as I reached the end of this book.

And after that, find myself rereading the whole series after two months. That didn’t happen to me with the Five Kingdoms series. Sky Raiders, the first book of Five Kingdoms, was just OKAY. Not good, not bad either. There were interesting stuff—like the shaping abilities and…

Book Review: Fyre

Well, that was disappointing. Years and years of following the Septimus Heap series and all I get is a conclusion that is crammed with unnecessary scenes and characters that didn’t grow at all. I don’t know if my standards have improved or this book was just awful. I used to enjoy the series during my pre-blogging days. The series was not ground breaking but still, it was fun to read. This last installment though was pure torture. 684 pages of senseless stuff going on and on that I just want to set the book on fyre and end my misery.…
