Book Review: Wheel of the Infinite

Before reading this book, I did not even know who Martha Wells is until a quick search in Goodreads revealed that she’s one of those old beloved classic high fantasy authors. My bad. As far as I can remember, my whole world back in 2000 solely revolved on J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series…and well, the occasional Roald Dahl here and there.  I refused to read anything not related Harry Potter.

Book Review: Sanctuary

Oh, Roman! Regardless of how sexy and gorgeous you are, I am cringing and laughing at you the whole time I was reading this book. How can you do that to the poor girl?

It’s not every day that you get to come across a historical, non-erotica book which tackles…

Book Review: Neferura The Pharaoh’s Daughter

Wow. The main theme of this book, women empowerment, is unquestionably superb. From Queen Hatsheput to her only daughter, Neferura, to the mysterious wisewoman to the female supporting characters, I have no words to say than, way to go girls! Their dynamics, they way they asserted themselves in a patriarchal world feels refreshing, did not feel forced, and did not give me the feeling that “bohohohohoh… these girls are a bunch of morally superior wokes that talk about feminism on Twitter all day.” I am glad that this was not the case with this book. Please note that I picked…
