Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
2.0
While I do value the philosophical ideas presented in this book, I find it challenging to overlook it's extended speeches, one-dimensional characters, and didactic tone, which ultimately impacted my appreciation for the work.
The Last Empress by Anchee Min
2.0
While I appreciate the effort and creativity put into it, I personally found the pacing a bit slow, which made it challenging to stay engaged. It didn't hold my interest as much as I had hoped.
The Mindf*ck Series by S.T. Abby
5.0
All I want to say is that if Lana Myers were real, this world would be a better place.
Empress Orchid by Anchee Min
2.0
I am disappointed. This needed a lot of patience. The pace dragged on tediously and it was unbearable at some point. If not for the notably inconsistent pacing, it had the potential to effectively deliver a strong, thought-provoking message. I think this book just isn't for me.

THIS WAS PHENOMENAL. A masterpiece of a storytelling, this book had me completely invested in it. The compelling narrative and intricate plot had me at the edge of my seat, no kidding. I can't believe that everybody is sleeping on this series. Pick it up right away!!!
