The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter
3.0
Overrated. Well written and enjoyable, a lot of action. A bit cheesy.
La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
4.0
Suffers from the whole prequel thing, but Philip Pullman succeeds in giving us a valid reason to return to this world, and his prose is more fantastic than ever.
The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman
5.0
The best chapter of His Dark Materials since Northern Lights. challenging, compelling, and Pullman's prose is an absolute delight.
The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
5.0
Mandatory reading, and timeless. A very real and heartbreaking look at the development of national prejudice as acceptable from the viewpoint of a child. The end is a bit lackluster, but it's not enough to take away from the masterful prose and haunting imagery.
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
5.0
Creative, well paced, and shows a mastery of world and character building. Very impressive debut novel, excited for more.
