Book Review: The Serpent’s Curse

Forbidden Stone was amazing. I wish I could say the same thing for The Serpent’s Curse. Though it did not suffer the second book syndrome, I cannot say that it lived up to the stellar performance of its predecessor. True, there are still the globe-trotting adventures, codes to be deciphered, and a parent to be saved; everything was not just the same. The story felt long winded and I just couldn’t establish a connection to the story. Maybe it’s because some of the twists were predictable or that they were revealed in the wrong time or maybe the important reveals…

Book Review: Pathfinder

The Septimus Heap series is in no way perfect. In fact, weighing between the pros and cons of the whole series, the cons had won out.

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.…

Book Review: Dear Killer

Dear Killer is not a book that would be enjoyed by everyone. I even have a feeling that a significant amount of readers will hate and burn it. For starters, the main character of this book is not someone that you can really call a “heroine.” Kit Ward is not the girl who will save the day. On the contrary, she’s the dragon who needs to be slain by your knight in shining armor. And the most disturbing thing is that she has a very disturbing view about morality. Kit’s first rule in life is: There’s no right or wrong.…
