Gripping, Haunting, and Too Real

Revisado: 05-25-20

The horrors of war, the consequences of revenge aren't hidden here. The Poppy war is the first book I've read in a long time that has grabbed me by the collar and shook me into turning the next page. I'm fascinated with the Asian setting. I can't wait to read the sequel and see the tragedies and the consequences to come.
No heroes, just victims through and through.

Priceless Read for All Christians

Revisado: 11-12-19

As a Catholic, Dante has begun to have a profound effect on me as I study and embrace my renewed faith after years as a self aggrandizing atheist with a self-entitled sense of adept philosophy. I do wish Audible hosted more great Catholic works. But I look forward to when they do.

Irritating at Best

Revisado: 10-21-19

It often feels like they're throwing word salads at you for no reason. Like. I get it. You studied up on how certain technologies could exist. Doesnt mean you need to spill it on the page for the first 4 hours. The first 4 hours is mostly a list of all the tech and world building explained in grueling detail. Our black lesbian protagonist has a good head on her shoulders, and the book, I believe, was meant to defy the stereotype of black people and or lesbians needing to wrap those traits up as their entire identity. that was genuinely refreshing. I got the impression this was one of the authors first books. I would love to see this angle taken a few more novels down the road when she has the skill to do so.

Best Fantasy Book Ever

Revisado: 08-13-19

I stumbled upon Sanderson about 6 months ago when I wanted to read a book with a color-based magic system, I'm an aspiring fantasy writer and I checked it out. I had no idea Sanderson was capable of this. Truly the best fantasy book I have ever read. I've read many.

Best Series in a While

Revisado: 03-11-19

Sanderson was an accidental discovery. I thought I'd dislike the dark setting, Butni grinded through this series in 3 weeks. The author always keeps you guessing no matter how hard I tried to predict things. Going to love reading more of his series.

A great beginning

Revisado: 01-03-19

This course is a great primer for the middle ages, but there is always more to read. Although I loved the professor, I had one criticism, and that was that he had a bit of a bias against men. Which may seem strange, but very common amongst the professor-types. Although I felt women were under-spoken of, as throughout every period women have a strong influence on society, they were sparingly mentioned, and the professor gave some very strange interpretations of works of poetry and writing from time periods as evidence of an ill-will against women, though I think this was mostly due to a lack of study in symbolism, and pretty easily amended through independent research. Although the welcoming to criticism made me give the course an extra star. The professor is a man, after all, and we're all free to our own opinions, I just find opinions to be a bit odious without first mentioning that something like that was just his personal interpretation, etc.

A Must Read for My Generation.

Revisado: 12-06-18

As a millennial, I say we are overdue for the awareness that government is the biggest threat to all people's prosperity. There's no end to the nation-state in sight, but we can preserve, and improve on the good and bad aspects of the prosperous system we were given.

Fantastic Primer Into Arturian Legends

Revisado: 11-08-18

This convinced me to go back after college and not just pile through the stories, but investigate, and understand the Arthurian legends from a symbolic perspective. And one of the first female voices I've enjoyed listening to btw, and shes not even British lol.

I'm in Gen Z. Fue IDW probably saved my life

Revisado: 10-31-18

Books and authors like these saved me from a great deal of nihilism, fathomless confusion, and purposelessness. I was a complete stereotype, now, I hardly spend a moment not doing something meaningful using the techniques hinted at in this book. This is a great primer for any lost souls in the younger gens who barely have a hint at how wrong our worldview is.

Principles For Any Man

Revisado: 10-10-18

It is our responsibility as human beings to sense the proper moments in our lives to lead and follow. It is Western Civilizations greatest achievement that in the deepest dark, we find our hero, our geniuses to pull us ever closer to a greater and fairer world, step by step. This book is a pivotal manual for all those who may one day need to lead, which is all of us.
