Book Review: Somewhere in the Deep

Somewhere in the Deep was not the most boring book that I have read in 2023. At first, I was really interested because our main character, Krescent, is a slave who was made accountable to pay off her dead parent’s debts. 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: Eragon

Wow, I finally finished Eragon after more than a year of dilly-dallying.

Avalanche was entertaining to some extent but you have to accept the fact that it’s a book designed for Middle Grade and it’s really short.

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.…
