The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
4.0
unfortunately, our hero kvothe is rather heavily adorned with several clumsy pieces of plot armour, and defeats the immense challenges that rear up in his path with the effortless grace of a man born to be a main character. however, it is still a masterful piece of writing, with a fascinating frame and an irresistibly fashioned world.
The Liar's Dictionary by Eley Williams
5.0
absolutely sensational. I was floored by how real the pair of protagonists became — winceworth in particular is one of the most irresistibly odd characters I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.
The Songs of a Warrior: Saul and David: A Retelling by Katy Morgan
3.0
a faithful and faith-filled retelling.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
4.0
a unique exploration of the far reaches of narnia, with an iconic opener and brilliant dynamics and development between the characters.
Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis
3.0
a charming adventure, but it took me several attempts over the years to finally get through.
The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis
5.0
a story about an orphan searching for his origins? a daring quest across a magical wilderness? alongside talking animal companions? and it’s also, very subtly, rivals to lovers? the horse and his boy is my favourite narnia book, and I will defend it with my life.
Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Diaz
2.0
a strange cacophony of occasionally nice but largely pretentious ideas.
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
4.0
potent and vividly violent. I'd somehow avoided the infamous twist, which made it a gripping, gritty read.
