“P.S. I Still Love You” By Jenny Han Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

They were just pretending. Until they weren’t. And now Lara Jean has to learn what it’s like to be in a real relationship and not just a make-believe one. But when another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him suddenly return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once? In this charming and heartfelt sequel to the New York Times bestseller To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Lara Jean is about to find out that falling in love is the easy part.

This second book is very easy, original and very easy to read in the same way as the first book in this series. Which really made me love this book even more than what I’ve already did.  

The plot in this book is very juicy and very sweet. And the drama her is higher than in the first book in this series. It really made me enjoy this book less than the first book but I still liked it a lot.

I read this book in one day, which really proves how much this book sucked me into it. 

The writing style here was very simple and easy. Which really was an amazing mix with the plot.

After having the original and unique love story in the first book, this book have disappointed me. Because in this book the original and unique love story turned into a very generic love story between high schoolers who are fighting about parties and who they sitt with at the bus.

There is a lot of moments were Lara Jean and Petter fight like insane people and they overthink every single think which really annoyed me. This book felt like it was more like a relationship going back than anything else.

This book wasn’t as emotional as some people on the internet claim it to be in my opinion. It was just a love story between two high schoolers.

This second book still focus a lot about the importance of family and friends which I really loved about this book and it made me still glad that this book was also not about dating the most popular guy at high school.

However this book was just as enjoyable as the first book. But neither this book or the first book in this series aren’t very hard reads but rather a book where you can turn your brain off.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

“Vector Prime” By R.A. Salvatore Review

Posted in Book review, Star WarsTagged , , Leave a comment

Twenty-one years have passed since the heroes of the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, breaking the power of the Emperor. Since then, the New Republic has valiantly struggled to maintain peace and prosperity among the peoples of the galaxy. But unrest has begun to spread and threatens to destroy the Republic’s tenuous reign. Into this volatile atmosphere comes Nom Anor, a charismatic firebrand who heats passions to the boiling point, sowing seeds of dissent for his own dark motives. And as the Jedi and the Republic focus on internal struggles, a new threat surfaces from beyond the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim–an enemy bearing weapons and technology unlike anything New Republic scientists have ever seen.

I need to say that this book is by far the best star wars book I’ve read so far. 

Action here is amazing. But I wish that this book talk about some specific actions which it went too quickly over. The action here takes place over 20 years after the Battle of Endor. And the follows the OG characters from star wars universe which are of course Han Solo, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca. But we also gets characters who weren’t seen in the movies or series but people who have read books new Jedi order series then they should be very familiar with them. 

Characters here are amazing, because we get to learn more and follow the OG characters which I mentioned above. But also we get new character which I wish we could see in movies or series from the Star Wars universe. Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin which are the children of Leia and Han are very similar to both of them but also they are amazing to read about because in a way it brings back the nostalgia of watching young Luke, Leia and Han in the original trilogy. 

All of the characters in this book have something to them which makes me love them. All of the characters have something very unique to them which males them different from the other characters and which makes them super easy to like them. 

We as well get a new fun but also horrific new villain. And we see the struggle which the heroes have to face in this book.

The writing style here is very good, there were some moments which it went down hill but I still enjoyed it a lot. 

There were some parts in this book which I personally found boring, and that’s explains why I gave it 4 stars instead of the full score of 5 stars.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

“Season of Storms” By Andrzej Sapkowski Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , , Leave a comment

Geralt of Rivia. A witcher whose mission is to protect ordinary people from the monsters created with magic. A mutant who has the task of killing unnatural beings. He uses a magical sign, potions and the pride of every witcher — two swords, steel and silver. But what would happen if Geralt lost his weapons? In this standalone novel, Geralt fights, travels and loves again, Dandelion sings and flies from trouble to trouble, sorcerers are scheming and across the whole world clouds are gathering – the season of storms is coming.

This book is the best book in the whole Witcher series. There is a lot of action as in the first book in this series and we get the biggest nostalgia to the first book in this series.

The plot in this book is amazing. We get close-up fights with monsters, we get court conspires, insane wizards and plenty of sarcasm and irony which is what got me to be so big fan of the Witcher book series. 

This book gives us us insight into various holes in the Witcher lore which the previous books in the series left open.

However this book is more of a standalone novel in the Witcher series than a continuation of the Witcher series. But I still loved this book a lot. 

I personally think that this book is the best option to end the Witcher series with, since it gives us what the first book in this series gave us and it really is an amazing end point to the Witcher series. 

Geralt is so amazing main character and this book really proves why. It really shows that he is a good guy however his decisions might not always be the best. 

The writing style here is amazing as well. If you read the first Witcher book and you read this book. It really shows how much the author have grown in his writing skills since the first book. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5

“Lady of the Lake” By Andrzej Sapkowski Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , , Leave a comment

After walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows while narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world… an Elven world. She is trapped with no way out. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world. But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions – and also to try to conquer her worst nightmare. Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail. And the world is still at war.

This book is the longest book in the Witcher series. But it really is worth the effort and the time to read it. 

The plot here was amazing, and it kept you on the edge from page 1 to the last page. There was a lot of action and there is a lot of tension happening in this book. Which in my opinion only makes this book better and more fun to read.

This book has over 500 pages, but it truly is an quick read since this book is a page turner. And the time goes fast by when you get sucked into the world of Witcher which is one of the best fantasy worlds to be ever written.

In this book we also get the gran finally of the Witcher series. Which really is a bitter sweet experience since this book is amazing but the fact that the series ends is very sad. However the ending should have been better, it really is a disappointment in a way after spending time reading all the books in this series. 

The writing style in this book is amazing, just as in the rest of this series. There is something very unique and charismatic to the writing style of Andrzej Sapkowski which really makes this series even better.

The characters in this book are amazing. They all had huge character developments from the first book and they really become as your friends when you read all the books and you come to this book.

The beginning was slow in a way, but the more you read the more the action grew in this book which was really amazing to see happen in this last book of the series.

The action here was okay in a way. We don’t get the same action as we got in the first book when the Geralt were fighting monsters and saving people. Which disappointed me in a way, but I still enjoyed the action in this book since it was somehow different than the first book.

“The Martian” By Andy Weir Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.  Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

I gotta say that this needs to be the best Sci-Fi book I’ve read so far. I don’t have words to describe how good this book was. 

I read this book in one day because I couldn’t stop reading it because it was so engaging, interesting and enjoyable. And I just needed to find out what will happen next to our main character who was left on Mars. 

The writing style in this book is complete amazing. It felt like it was written by an expert who just knew what words to use to get us engaged in the book and keep reading. 

The ending was a little bit boring and the story dragged little bit. Which really annoyed me because if the ending was different this book would easily be my all time favourite book. 

I need to give this book points for having real-world scientific applications being incredible well detailed which really was the base for my love for this book. Because it is a fictional book with real life science in a way. 

The plot in this book was very amazing and very intense and that’s how I like the plot to be. The plot gets funny at times and it is easily a different than any other sci-fi novels which really made me give this book even more points.

The characters here are very well written. Of course there are some characters better written than others but they all are amazing. There are some characters who were flat but still they were okay for the most part.

“Spowiedź Hitlera. Szczera rozmowa z Żydem” By Christopher Macht Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Kwiecień, rok 1945. Do siedziby Adolfa Hitlera na specjalne wezwanie wodza zostaje sprowadzony „szlachetny Żyd”, Eduard Bloch. Ten sam, który przez wiele lat leczył matkę kanclerza Rzeszy, za co Hitler był mu szalenie wdzięczny. Führer oznajmia Blochowi, że dostąpi niebywałego zaszczytu spisania ostatniej rozmowy z nim. Wszystko dzieje się kilka dni przed śmiercią Hitlera.

At the time of writing this review this book is only available in Polish and in German. 

There is one thing to keep in mind when going into this book which is that this book is more of a historical fiction rather than fully historical.

This book has many illustrations and it is pretty quick to read. Due to the writing fond being pretty large.

Even thou this book is a historical fiction, this book is still interesting as a biography of Hitler if you don’t want to get into the massive books about Hitler.

The conversation between hitler and Eduard Bloch are pretty short but you get a huge insight into Hitler. Because the conversation really shows in a way his true face. 

However this book shows us Hitler as a human and nice person who loves children and animals rather than the guy who gave the order to kill millions of innocent people in concentration camps.

The writing style in this book is pretty easy and simple. This fact makes this book so much easier to read and so much faster to read as well.

Some things which are said in this book aren’t true, and you will very easily see it if you haven seen some documentary movies about Hitler or if you simple fact check the some details.

However this book is a really good start if you want to get into historical books.

“The Mandalorian Season 2 Junior Novel” By Joe Schreiber Review

Posted in Book review, Star WarsTagged , , Leave a comment

The Mandalorian and Grogu continue their journey to find more of Grogu’s kind as they make their way through a dangerous galaxy in the tumultuous era following the fall of the Empire. They will encounter strange creatures, mysterious Jedi, old friends, and the sinister Moff Gideon, who wants the Child for his own purposes.

Another very good book from the star wars universe, which I truly love more and more with each passing year.

This book is very fun and easy to read. And this book is very good for all ages as well no matter if you buy this book for your child or if you want to read it yourself at any age.

This book is very short which means that it is very quick to read. This book and be read in 2 sittings or less if you really sett your mind on it. 

This book is very simple retelling of the second season of The Mandalorian. Seeing the series first and then reading this book after some months is a pure enjoyment since it’s like seeing the second season for the first time but from a different perspective other than TV.

In my opinion this book feels a little bit waker than the first book. But I still loved it. 

The characters are just as amazing as they were in the first book and in the second season. But in a way it feels like getting to know them all over again since you get to read about them rather than watch them on Disney +. 

The writing style is very simple and easy, and it fully can be read by a 10 year old if they have an interested in star wars. 

The ending is as amazing, because of Luke Skywalker showing up to save the day which really gives me a bigger nostalgia.

“Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America” By Ari Berman Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

In this groundbreaking narrative history, Ari Berman charts both the transformation of American democracy under the VRA and the counterrevolution that has sought to limit voting rights, from 1965 to the present day. The act enfranchised millions of Americans and is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. And yet, fifty years later, we are still fighting heated battles over race, representation, and political power, with lawmakers devising new strategies to keep minorities out of the voting booth and with the Supreme Court declaring a key part of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional.

I gotta be honest and say that this book is one of the best political books I’ve read so far. I personally am super interested in politics and books so why not start reading political books right? 

This book is about the voting rights and how black people and white people need and still need to face when it comes to the voting right in USA. We all know that USA have huge problems and this book shows that problems with voting rights is still relevant even at the end of 2023. Which is mind blowing to think about. 

This book starts with the Voter Rights Act in 1965 and it goes all the way to the Obama administration. Which is couple of decades and we truly see how little the voting rights have changed to be fully honest.

This book have good research in it which we get to see in this book. And this book provides us with evidence that voting rights issues are still relevant. 

The writing style here is amazing. The writing style really creates a soul in this book which I really enjoyed.

“The Last Command” By Timothy Zahn Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor’s secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn mounts his final siege, Han and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack against the empire, while Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. Overwhelmed by the ships and clones at Thrawn’s command, the Republic has one last hope–sending a small force, led by Luke Skywalker, into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn’s terrible cloning machines. There a final danger awaits, as the Dark Jedi C’baoth directs the battle against the Rebels and builds his strength to finish what he had already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker.

This book is the last book in the 1990s Thrawn trilogy.

This book was very interesting and enjoyable. But also is a page turner. I read it in 3 sittings.

This book as the rest of the trilogy brings the old nostalgia or watching star wars for the first time. Because this book have all the things which the original star wars trilogy had which of course is bad vs good, heroism, action, battles, power struggle, romance, amazing characters and so much more. 

The plot in here is very good, and I personally had a very hard time trying to put it down once I’ve started reading. 

There is a lot of things happening in this book, and we get a lot of new character introduced. There are battles, there are amazing space ships journeys. 

The OG characters in this book which are of course Luke, Leia, Han, C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewie are still the amazing characters which we got to meet in the original trilogy. If I’m gonna be fully honest with you, they are even better in this book and this trilogy than in the original movie trilogy. 

We also get a lot of new characters in this book, (and series of course) like Mara Jade, Grand Admiral Thrawn but in this book Leia gives birth to twins Jacen and Jaina Solo. Which means that the Skywalker legacy becomes bigger. And I personally can’t wait to read more books with the twins and learning more about them.

In this book Mara Jade plays a much larger role than she did in the first two books in this trilogy. Which I loved, because we get a bigger chance to getting to know her and she is so good character with an amazing backstory which really makes her to an intriguing character.

The writing style here is amazing. This book and this trilogy really shows how good of an author Timothy Zahn really is. Because it feels like Timothy Zahn really know what words to use to grab your attention and not let you go until you finish.

The ending is so good that I don’t have words to describe it. And I can’t say too much without spoiling anything. But is the perfect ending to this trilogy and it fully left me satisfied that I read this book and the trilogy. 

However I have one problem with this book and trilogy as a whole. And that problem is that this trilogy should be canon not legends.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

“Fire & Blood” By George R.R. Martin Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.

This book is amazing. It was one of the best books I’ve read this year so far at least. 

The art in this book is stunning and it really adds more to this book. They were really good and amazing adds to the book.

This book is in another book from the A Song Of Ice And Fire series but this is book happens 300 ish years before the first book in the main series which means that it is sort of the backstory to the whole series.

I personally had an amazing time reading this book, but there were couple of moments were I thought that they were unnecessary. The first half of this book is very fast and it only gives us couple of sentences about previous kings and other Targaryens. Which really annoyed me because I wish that we could get more of these previous Targaryens before the main characters in the House Of The Dragon series.

The characters in this book are amazing, and they really felt like real life human beings rather than a fantasy book characters. Most of the characters in this book were so amazing that I just can’t explain. There were some characters were I felt were super flat and boring in a way. 

The plot in this book is amazing. There is so much action here, there are deaths (as you expect from George R.R Martin), there are a lot of family and politics drama and so much more. 

The writing style here is super amazing, it really is on level with the rest of books in the A Song Of Ice And Fire series. And really shows that A Song Of Ice And Fire series might be one of the best book series ever and that George R.R. Martin might be one of the best authors to ever live. 

This book is super interesting, enjoyable, fun and it really blows you off to another universe. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5
