Timely and instructive

Revisado: 12-12-24

This is a biography more than a how-to but it's interesting. It could use more present day analysis. Some of the people introduced were hard to keep straight but still instructive.

Surprisingly entertaining!

Revisado: 05-25-24

I am a picky reader. I enjoyed this! It's not literature, but it's a fun read and a unique idea of combining LitRPG fantasy with a cozy mystery using a time loop as a device. The magic system is tropy but the familiarity is comforting and there are fun surprises. The author doesn't spend much time on descriptions. There is not a lot of setting details or theme (yet), but characters, conflict, and plot make for an entertaining story competently told. I will read the rest!

Great autobiography on eating disorders

Revisado: 11-12-22

I saw this autobiography recommended and decided to give it a try despite not knowing who Jennette McCurdy is. I never watched iCarly or Sam and Cat. The blubs on the cover are a little misleading. This isn't really a funny story. Jennette does tell her story with wit and insight but it's not hilarious. It's painful and poignant, but it is well told. Jennette is a good writer. This is a good book. The title is honest and bittersweet. The content is raw and direct. I wish Jennette health and happiness and future success in whatever pursuits lift her up.

Even the slog is still among the best fantasy

Revisado: 03-25-22

This book takes place during what some call the slog. It has more summary and less of a climax than other books, but strong plot development happens in this book leading our scattered character groups to be positioned to begin some exciting climaxes that have been building. A satisfying read.

Great second installment!

Revisado: 11-12-21

I'm iffy on YA fantasy but this story is satisfying. The narration is fantastic and even the 1st person stream of consciousness POV is forgiveable. The only thing I wish Ms Novik spent a little more time on is descriptions of people because I get all the non main characters confused. But a fun read overall

Much better than most YA

Revisado: 11-01-21

I whipped through this so I must have enjoyed it. The style takes a little getting used to, especially if you dont like 1st person YA narration, which I generally don't, and the MC comes off as an eye rolling brat who thinks her lack of social skills is an asset, but Novik is a competent writer and there are justifications for these character decisions as well as an interesting world and magic system with substantially interesting stakes. There is still a bit of the logic gap that plagues stories like these where young adults are abandoned by adults to fend for themselves against terrors for "reasons", but Novik puts more effort into it than most. I am sufficiently entertained to read the next one.

A very fine installment!

Revisado: 10-13-21

Abercrombie continues to deliver an exceptional tale with this second installment of the second trilogy in the world of the First Law. The end of this one promises in the third book what readers may have anticipated with this series. Delightful.

Great entry to a new trilology

Revisado: 10-03-21

The world is industrializing and the winds of change are blowing... but all things that change remain the same.

Here we have a Next Gen story following The First Law trilogy and it is handled expertly.
