Book Review: The Graveyard Book

It’s not every day that you get to encounter a book that would affect you so deeply that you just want to savor in its quaintness for how many days. The Graveyard Book is one such book wherein Neil Gaiman’s storytelling enhanced the richness of Nobody Owen’s, our little hero, story. Nobody ‘Bod’ Owens grew up and was raised by the ghosts in the graveyard. Bod thought that this was normal as he traipsed around and explored the graveyard as a growing child would normally do. However, his normal life within the compounds of the graveyard was turned upside and…

Book Review: The Hurricane Wars

I never knew that this book existed until I downloaded the eARC of Monsoon Rising from Edelweiss. My bad for not reading the synopsis properly because if I had, I would have known that Monsoon Rising is already the 2nd book of The Hurricane Wars series. So anyway, off I went and bought a digital copy of this book so I could go into Monsoon Rising knowing what the whole story is all about. The Hurricane Wars follows the story of two protagonists who are rivals due to the circumstances of their birth: Talasyn and Alaric. On the first page…
